Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Spray a cold nonstick pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the chicken over medium heat, turning to brown evenly, for 15 minutes or until light brown. Reduce the heat. Place the garlic, half of the lemon slices, half of the tomato, the olives, onion, parsley and oregano on top of the chicken pieces. Sprinkle with the ground red pepper and add the wine and the ¾ cup of broth. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the remaining tomato and the sweet pepper strips. Cook, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes or until the peppers are tender-crisp and the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter. Garnish with the remaining lemon slices and the fresh oregano, if desired.
