Chicken with Vegetables and Wine 5

Tender pieces of succulent chicken, flavored with rosemary, garlic, bay leaves, and white wine, topped with a mixture of sautéed peppers, and mirepoix —-all simple ingredients, but the resulting combination of flavors is anything but simple.  This dish is also very cost friendly; I recommend buying an organic, free range chicken and cutting it into eight pieces yourself.  Or, if you have saved any chicken in your freezer, now is the time to defrost it and whip up this recipe! This would be a perfect dish to serve for a Sunday dinner with friends and family, accompanied with some mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli with lemon, and a bottle of your favorite Chardonnay.
