Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim excess fat from the boneless chicken breasts and split them if necessary to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides, then set aside.
  3. Quarter the larger mushrooms and halve the smaller ones; set them aside until ready to cook.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-reactive skillet or frying pan over high heat.
  5. Brown the chicken breasts on the skin side (or first side) until golden brown, then transfer to a plate and pour off any excess fat.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium, pour in the sherry vinegar, and stir in the tomato paste until dissolved.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, skin side up, cover, and cook for 3 minutes.
  8. Uncover and continue cooking until the chicken is done, about 6 more minutes.
  9. While the chicken cooks, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in another frying pan and sauté the mushrooms for 3 to 4 minutes until tender.
  10. Arrange the cooked chicken and mushrooms on a serving platter.
  11. In the chicken skillet, whisk in the remaining olive oil and mix in the parsley.
  12. Pour any juices collected on the platter into the skillet sauce, then pour the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms.
  13. Serve immediately while hot.
