This recipe was sent to me via Better Homes and Gardens news letter. I found it delicious and easy to prepare. It seems to me to be a health dish as will. Due to the fact that we have an alcohol intolerant mother-in-law living with us I substituted white wine with non alky type. Perhaps the dish would be better for having the real white wine. Lord knows I usually am. Please give this one a try. It is well worth it. I served this poured over a bed of rice. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 medium sweet green pepper, cut into 1/2 inch dice |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken, chopped into one inch chunks |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/4 lb smoked ham or 3 slices bacon, chopped 1/4 inch pieces |
2 teaspoons minced garlic |
1/4 cup white wine (put rest of bottle into cook) |
1 (15 ounce) can whole tomato puree, chopped |
2/3 cup water |
1/2 teaspoon oregano |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce |
1/2 lb green beans, trimmed and cut to 1 inch |

1. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion, cook, stirring 4 to 5 minutes just until tender. Transfer to a bowl.
