This meal started by roasting some peppers over charcoal. I wish you could smell the peppers roasting. Its one of my favorite things!

As usual the one who really makes the meal successful is Kim, who chopped all the vegis we needed to complete the meal.

Meanwhile I fried some chicken breasts that were sprinkled with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. No flour. Also the breasts were really thick so Kim sliced them in half.

Chicken done, sautéed some onions, celery, mushrooms, and garlic later. Then deglazed with wine and some low sodium chicken broth. Then added some fire roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, the roasted peppers, fresh chopped basil and oregano. Then let it simmer uncovered for two hours.

Two plated shots. One of the meal on a bed of whole wheat pasta with broccoli and cauliflower and one a little closer with the chicken cut.

Its hard to capture in a picture when something turns out just how you wanted it. Everyone was very pleased with the meal, although it was somewhat late.
Thanks for looking! Have a great rest of your week!
 
WOW!! Robert, you and Kim nailed that one for sure. Awesome cook and I'd take a plate of that right now.
 
Robert, it looks great!
I like slow cooking also but I never did it using charcoal.

One question, wasn´t the chicken overcooked?
I mean that breast, without bone nor any fat, could get a bit dry after two hours. At my home it wouldn´t be a problem, my wife loves griddled chicken breast fillet.

Thank you for the nice comment! The chicken braised in the liquid the whole time and then was served with the sauce so it was falling apart tender not dry.
