Steps

1
Season the chicken with 1 tsp of the salt. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a wide ovenproof frying pan over high heat and fry the chicken for 5–6 minutes, until golden; set aside.
2
Add the remaining oil and fry the mushrooms over high heat for 5 minutes, until browned.
3
Add the onion and both peppers and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes until soft, adding the garlic for the last minute.
4
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the paprika and savory, then return it to the heat, pour in the wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes.
5
Add the tomatoes, the chicken with its juices, the pepper and the remaining salt and simmer for 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
6
Heat the oven grill to high. Scatter the kashkaval over the pan and slide it under the grill for 3–4 minutes, until melted and browned in spots.
7
Sprinkle with the parsley and serve from the pan.
