Mediterranean Chicken With Tomatoes, Kalamata and Mushrooms image

This also may be made using skin on chicken pieces also such as legs and/or thighs, for the best flavor try to use a mixture of red and yellow teardrop tomatoes, this is not for anyone with a plain palette.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 boneless chicken breasts
salt and black pepper
olive oil
1 1/2 lbs small white button mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, chopped (can use about 2 tablespoons shallots instead of onions)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Add in onions, garlic and dried chili flakes (if using) to the mushrooms and saute for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add in the chicken broth; simmer for about 6 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.

  • Add in butter and stir until melted.
  • Mix in the small teardrop tomatoes; simmer for about 5 minutes (you can simmer a bit longer).
  • Season again with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the mixture over the chicken.
