Quick Chicken Canzanese (Purple Chicken!)

A true Karen original by taking a long cooking recipe and making it quicker.  I feel like Rachael Ray except I am not out of ideas.

A couple different ideas for Chicken Canzanese are available on the internet.  Mario Batali's has terrible reviews.  Cook's Illustrated recipes are usually great but many of their recipes are too elaborate.  Another from the New York Times.  Problems I addressed:
  • Adjusting spices for personal tastes:  omitted the spicy peppers and cut back on cloves.
  • Switched from long cooking bone in chicken to boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Reduced the number of steps
  • Omitted the flour to make it grain-free.  Added butter to stand in as the thickener.
