Heat a pan over medium-low heat and cook 4 oz chopped smoked bacon until it’s crispy but not hard, about a few minutes.
Meanwhile, pound one large chicken breast to an even thickness and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Place the chicken pieces in a bowl, season with a pinch of kosher salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and a little flour. Toss well to coat.
Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving about 1½ tablespoons of fat. Increase heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces.
Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes until fully cooked, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Add a bit of oil to the pan, then add one finely chopped small onion. Sauté for about a minute until softened.
Stir in garlic paste and diced roasted red peppers.
Add about one tablespoon of tomato paste and mix well.
Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour, stir thoroughly, then slowly pour in 2 cups of broth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
