Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the pan, then immediately cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C). Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan used for the chicken (add 1 tablespoon of olive oil if needed), add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and green beans. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the sautéed mushrooms. Stir well to combine and cook for 1 minute, allowing the flour to cook out. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of water or broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency. Season the mushroom sauce with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to taste.
