red wine

🥗Healthier: white wine

💰Cheaper: grape juice

Grape juice offers a non-alcoholic option while maintaining sweetness.

chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner, while chicken thighs are often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami flavor.

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is heart-healthy.

Add chicken pieces and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes

Remove chicken from skillet and set aside

In the same skillet, add onions and garlic; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes

Add bell peppers and carrots; cook for another 5 minutes

Stir in mushrooms and cook until they release moisture, about 3 minutes

Add tomatoes, chicken broth, and red wine; stir to combine

Return chicken to the skillet and add oregano, basil, bay leaves, salt, and pepper

Bring to a simmer; cover and cook for 30-40 minutes until chicken is tender

Remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning if necessary

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese
