Chicken in Peppered Tomato Sauce


1 Lb. Chicken Breast, sliced fairly thin
32 oz Can Crushed Tomatoes
1 Green Bell Pepper, sliced
1 Medium Yellow Onion, sliced
4 Cloves Garlic, smashed
1 Tsp. Chili Powder
or your favorite dried, ground hot pepper
1 Tsp. Sugar
1/4 Tsp. Fresh Grated Nutmeg
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
Flour

Begin by seasoning chicken with salt & pepper.  Then dust with a thin coat flour.  Very thin.  Just a tad.  Don't overdo it.  Brown on both sides.  Remove.

Drain oil from pan, add bell pepper, onion, garlic, nutmeg, & chili.  Stir for about a minute, then add tomato, sugar, & chicken.  Simmer over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes.  Remove from heat, stir in olive oil, and serve.  It's nice over angel hair pasta.
