Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 cups halved baby carrots
  • 1 (8 ounce) package button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups red wine
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, or as needed
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Mix flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a shallow bowl. Pour milk into a separate bowl. Dip chicken in milk, allowing excess milk to drip back into bowl. Dredge chicken through flour mixture until evenly coated.
  • Cook 1/2 of the chicken in the hot oil until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pot and brown remaining chicken. Return all the chicken to the pot.
  • Mix carrots, mushrooms, and onion into chicken, stirring gently to distribute vegetables among the chicken. Pour wine over chicken and vegetables, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pot. Add enough chicken broth to nearly cover the chicken and vegetables.
  • Stir Italian seasoning, rosemary, salt, and pepper into broth mixture; bring to a boil. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove lid and turn heat up to medium-high; boil, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes.
