Chicken with Tomato-Mushroom Sauce and Fried Potatoes


2 Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 small Red Onion, chopped
1/4 pound Crimini Mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup White Wine
1 large Tomato, chopped
3 tablespoons Capers
3 Garlic Cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon Chili Flakes
Salt, Pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Olive Olive
1 tablespoon Butter

Fried Potatoes

3 Russet Potatoes
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt, Pepper to taste

To make Fried Potatoes:  Peel and thinly slice potatoes, a Mandolin works great.  Preheat the skillet to medium heat and add oil.  Layer the potatoes in the skillet, cover with a lid and fry for ten minutes.  Flip once and cook for another ten, or until golden brown and tender.

Preheat  a skillet to medium-high heat, and add the olive oil. Cut the chicken breast in half length wise. You will have four thin pieces.  Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

In a bowl, mix together flour, garlic, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.  Lightly dunk the chicken in the flour mixture on both sides.  Fry the chicken breast for about 3 minutes on each side.  Move it onto a plate.

In the same skillet melt the butter, add chopped onion and mushrooms, then cook for about 4 minutes.  Add the wine, tomato, garlic, capers, and season with chili flakes, salt, and pepper.  Let the sauce thicken up for about 3-4 minutes and add the chicken back in.  Cook for another 5 minutes, letting the chicken to reheat back up.  Serve with fried potatoes.

Serves 3-4
