I love this simple chicken cooked with herbs mushroom, onions, and bell pepper. Use the baking time to prepare a salad or grab a book, hide in the kitchen, and rattle some dishes every now and then for some peace. No one will know you weren’t busy the whole time.

  • 1 3-5lb chicken – cut up
  • 1/4 cup oil (olive is best)
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp rubbed sage
  • 1 med onion – thinly sliced
  • 12oz button mushrooms – cut in half
  • 2 bell peppers – sliced – mixed colors makes a prettier plate

chixshroom2.jpgPreheat the oven to 350F.

In a heavy skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium low heat.

In a shallow bowl mix the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and sage. Reserve 2 – 3 TBSP of the seasoned flour. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, place in the skillet, and cook until golden.

Place the cooked chicken pieces in a large casserole dish.

  • That looks so yummy. My family isn’t big on mushrooms though (yet we love chicken marsala). Will the dish lose a lot of the flavor without them?

  • Add another pepper or two. Obviously it’ll change the dish a little, but it will still be good.

  • Oh, that looks delicious! YUM!

  • [...] I am constantly bookmarking recipes at Ivy and Heather’s Home Ec 101, but never trying them. I… Filed under and another thing | [...]

  • Make sure you remember to use the reserve flour on the veggies and not whats left from the chicken.. i did not use as much chicken as the recipe calls for!! TOO much on the veggies…husband was not thrilled lol :)

  • Made it and it was delicious! I used boneless skinless breats and it came out great. I would, however, use way more veggies in the dish. Great recipe- thanks!

  • This was great with pork as well :) . I used more veggies with the suggestion of the reply above & brown rice to accompany it. I will be making this again yum – this was a hit with the fam & my 2 year old loved it – what a bonus. I found your site by googleing (googling?) "chicken peppers onions mushrooms". Lucky Me!!! Looks like I'll be adding your blog to my favorites — I can't wait to look around some more.
