1

Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper.
2

Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Press each chicken piece into the flour, then shake off the excess.
3

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until it is nearly smoking.
4

Pan-fry the chicken until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Cook in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Set the browned chicken aside.
5

Add the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic to the Dutch oven; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
6

Stir in the mushroom; cook until they release their juices, 5 to 8 more minutes.
7

Stir in oregano, tomatoes, tomato paste, white wine, and chicken stock; bring to a boil.
8

Return the chicken pieces to the sauce, cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes.
9

Stir in capers and sprinkle with basil to serve.
