     1/2  cup           olive oil
   1      2-1/2 to      3 pound frying chicken -- cut up
   2                    green bell peppers -- sliced
   1                    red bell pepper -- sliced
   1 1/2  cups          sliced white mushrooms
   1      cup           diced onions
   1      cup           dry white wine
   2      cups          chicken broth
   4      cups          crushed canned Italian plum tomatoes

minute. Stir in broth and tomatoes. Add oregano and pepper flakes and bring

to taste. Serve hot.
