Such a good, healthy version of this bistro classic. I made it even lower in fat, using chicken breasts and less oil than in the recipe. Otherwise, I followed Ms. Shulman's instructions, using hot red pepper flakes. I had great sweet red peppers and onion from a local farm and a lovely free range chicken (I had an extra breast in the freezer which I combined with the breasts from the whole chicken, the balance of which went for rich stock). I happily thought of using my stick blender to puree the diced tomatoes right in the can which worked beautifully and saved some washing chores. The instructions are right on, very clear and result in a stew/sauce which is sweet without being cloying, just peppery enough. The chicken was juicy and mellow. All in all, a great dish which lends itself beautifully to freezing portions.
