Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/4 pounds total
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
large, red, ripe tomatoes, about 1 1/4 pounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large, unpeeled garlic cloves, about 1 ounce
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Drop tomatoes into a pot of boiling water and let stand about 12 seconds. Drain and peel. Cut away and discard the cores. Cut tomatoes into 1-inch cubes; there should be about 3 cups.
  • Heat oil in a heavy casserole and add chicken pieces. Scatter garlic cloves around. Cook chicken until golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and garlic. Scatter onion around and cook briefly until wilted. Add wine, cubed tomatoes, bay leaf and thyme. Cover closely and cook 10 minutes.
  • Remove garlic cloves and, when cool enough to handle, peel them.
  • Chop cloves and mash them to a paste with the flat side of a knife. Return mashed garlic to casserole. Cover closely and cook 10 minutes. Remove bay leaf and serve.
