Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Mix together flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. (5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish. (15 minutes)

04

Step
22 mins

Add onions and garlic to the skillet and saute until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and more oil, if necessary, and cook until mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup wine into the pan, scrape the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, and cook until liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in stewed tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, adding extra wine if sauce seems too thick. Pour mixture over chicken in the baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. (20 minutes)

05

Step
45 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (45 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried oregano or basil to the sauce.
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the sauce.
If you don't have red wine on hand, chicken broth can be used as a substitute.
