Toss chicken pieces in a plastic bag with flour, salt, and pepper to coat.

In a big frying pan with a lid (it has to fit all the chicken in one layer), heat olive oil and add chicken pieces and garlic. Cook on both sides until chicken starts to brown.

Add wine and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover with a lid. Cook for about 25 minutes over low heat. When done, discard the bay leaves.
