Steps:
- Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a heavy, large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken until browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Keeping the same pan over medium heat, add the peppers and prosciutto and cook until the peppers have browned and the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, wine, and herbs. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pan, add the stock, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- If serving immediately, add the capers and the parsley. Stir to combine and serve. If making ahead of time, transfer the chicken and sauce to a storage container, cool, and refrigerate. The next day, reheat the chicken to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the capers and the parsley and serve.

Tips:
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Don't crowd the chicken in the pan. If you do, it will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Add the lemon wedges and olives towards the end of cooking. This will prevent them from overcooking and becoming bitter.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a simple salad.
