8 oz white button mushrooms, sliced
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced

Directions:
In a large deep skillet heat 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil over medium high heat. Season chicken breasts with Garlic Salt and Seasoned Salt and brown on both sides in the hot oil. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan by adding the wine and simmering about 1 minute. Add Roma and canned tomatoes and capers.
Return the chicken to the pan and bring to boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Serve over your favorite pasta or for low carb/gluten free option serve over sautéed zucchini or Italian green beans. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
