Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter foams.
  3. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and scallions. Sauté until mushrooms are browned and softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add quartered tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
  6. Pour in white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  7. Stir in chicken stock and fresh thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  8. Return chicken to the skillet if not fully cooked, or nestle into the sauce. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Serve chicken topped with the mushroom-tomato sauce and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
