2. Combine flour, salt and red pepper in medium bowl; mix well. Add chicken; toss until evenly coated. Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook without stirring 3 to 4 minutes or until golden. Turn chicken; cook 3 minutes longer.
3. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Add vermouth; stir to loosen skillet drippings. Add canned tomatoes, dried tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, thyme and water; bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes or until zucchini is tender, stirring occasionally. Set aside and keep warm.
