This is a flavorful sauce of bell peppers, mushrooms, tomato, and white wine, topped with dried oregano and fresh basil.
Ingredients
2 pounds chicken cutlets thin sliced and cut into 5" pieces
1 28 ounces can San Marzano plum tomatoes and crushed or blender pulsed
3 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine optional
1 cup Almond Flour for dredging, you will not use it all
1 pound baby Bella mushrooms sliced
2 large red bell peppers sliced
6 cloves garlic sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons dry oregano plus more to taste
1/4 cup fresh basil torn to finish 1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil for finishing
Instructions
1. Pound out the chicken (or use storebought thin sliced cutlets), cut into 5” pieces, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge the chicken in flour and shake off excess.
2. Heat a large pan to medium heat and wait 2 minutes. Once the pan is hot, add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and sear the chicken on both sides (about 2 minutes per side). Work in batches. Use more olive oil as required. Set all the cooked chicken aside and tent with foil to keep warm.
3. Next, add in the mushrooms and cook until they release their water and brown (about 5-7minutes). Place the mushrooms on a plate and set them aside.
4. Next, add the peppers to the pan. Cook them until soft (about 10 minutes), then add in the garlic and cook for a few minutes more until the garlic turns lightly golden. If using the wine, add it now and cook the alcohol out for a few minutes. With a wooden spoon scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pan.
5. Add in the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes with the peppers and garlic stirring frequently. Add in the plum tomatoes, oregano, and mushrooms, and bring the sauce to a simmer. If the sauce is too thick add a bit of water (4-6 ounces or so) and stir together.
6. Taste test the sauce and adjust salt, pepper, and oregano to taste. When satisfied with the taste return the chicken to the pan and cook for a few more minutes to warm it through.
7. Turn off the heat and add in the basil and a hefty drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Serve with crusty Italian bread to mop up the sauce. Enjoy

Notes Use thinly sliced cutlets and if possible pound the chicken flat to approximately a ¼ to ⅜"thick. Using chicken with a uniform thickness will allow a more even cooking process. You do not need to use all of the flour. The flour is for dredging. Dredging means you coat the chicken on all sides with flour and shake off the excess. Dried oregano, preferably Sicilian oregano makes the dish taste like a pizza sauce. Dry white wines to use include Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Chardonnay. The wine is optional. Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop on medium-low heat until warmed through.NutritionCalories: 590kcal | Carbohydrates: 24.3g | Protein: 72.9g | Fat: 20.1g | Saturated Fat: 3.8g | Cholesterol:175mg | Sodium: 898mg | Potassium: 1168mg | Fiber: 3.9g | Sugar: 10.1g | Calcium: 69mg | Iron: 7mg

Diabetes is caused by a beta cell in the beta-hemoglobin gene. Diabetes is a disease. That may be reversed by eating better and exercising.
Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases that affect how your body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is vital to your health because it's an important source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and tissues. It's also your brain's main source of fuel.
The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown. What is known is that your immune system — which normally fights harmful bacteria or viruses — attacks and destroys your insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This leaves you with little or no insulin.
Although not everyone with type 2 diabetes is overweight, obesity and an inactive lifestyle are two of the most common causes of type 2 diabetes. These things are responsible for about 90% to 95% of diabetes cases in the United States.
