Prep the ingredients

Start by prepping all of your ingredients. Cut the top off of the peppers, remove the internal seeds and run under cold water; then cut them into strips. 

Peel the onion, cut off the top and bottom; then cut the onion into strips. Wash the potato skins with a vegetable brush under cold water; then cut them in half. 

Next, mince the garlic and chop the parsley. On a separate cutting board, dice the chicken into 1-inch pieces. 

Now you're ready to make Chicken Murphy!

How do you make Chicken Murphy?

Start by adding 1 tablespoon of the oil to a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high heat; then add the peppers, onions, potatoes, garlic and rosemary.

Saute for 1-2 minutes; then add the red wine and 2 cups of the beef stock. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and simmer for 15 minutes. 

While the vegetables are simmering, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a small nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. 

Add the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink; approximately 5-7 minutes. Finally, add the cooked chicken to the vegetable mixture; then add the remaining beef stock, salt and pepper and mix well.

Cook on low for another 10-15 minutes uncovered until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the vegetables and potatoes have softened.
