Sauteed Chicken Breasts With Tomato and Thyme image

Adapted and made my own from "Cooking for Dummies." I grew up hating tomatoes, but I dig this dish. Best with fresh herbs, but dried work in a pinch. I usually omit the onion myself. Sounds like a lot of work, but once you get it going it's extremely easy.
