Ingredients:

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 tsp salt

Freshly ground black pepper to taste (about 1 teaspoon)

1/2 cup all purpose flour

3 tablespoons of olive oil 

1 large bell pepper, chopped

1 onion, chopped

3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

3/4 cup dry white wine

1 28 oz can diced tomatoes with juice

3/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth

3 tbsp drained capers

1 1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped coarsely 

Directions:

1. Mix flour, salt and pepper together. Then, dredge the chicken lightly in the flour. 
2. In a large saucepan or dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side then set the chicken aside on a plate. 
3. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic to the pan.  Add a little oil to the pan if necessary.  Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Check seasoning, add more if needed.
4. Add the wine to the pot and cook it until it reduces by half, about 3 to 5 minutes. 
5. Add the tomatoes with their juice, capers, chicken broth, and oregano. 
6. Return the chicken to the pan and cover with the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook the chicken for about 20-30 minutes.  Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the chicken with tongs and place on a platter.  
7. If necessary, cook the sauce longer to thicken it. Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with basil. 
8. Serve on a bed of whole wheat spaghetti
