Directions

Heat oil and butter in a wide frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning until browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside. Pour off and discard all but 3 tablespoons drippings.

Add mushrooms, onion, green pepper and garlic to pan; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until onion is soft. Stir in parsley, wine, tomato paste, salt, marjoram, oregano, and thyme. Return chicken to pan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer until meat registers 165 degrees. (40 to 45 minutes).
