  5. Stir in 2 sliced bell peppers and ½ cup of sliced hot cherry peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
  6. Pour in ½ cup of white wine and simmer for 3-4 minutes, scraping up brown bits from the pan.
  7. Add 1 cup of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of vinegar from cherry peppers, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of oregano. Stir and simmer.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
