Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 4 bone-in chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 pounds in all)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons flour
  • 6 tablespoons dry vermouth or dry white wine
  • 2/3 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes, drained
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions
  1. In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook until browned, turning, about 8 minutes in all. Remove. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from the pan.
  2. Add the butter to the pan and reduce the heat to moderately low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to moderately high. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the vermouth and bring back to a simmer. Stir in the broth, tomatoes, thyme, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices. Reduce the heat; simmer, covered, until the chicken is done, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

I tried this tonight, choosing to put it in the oven for 75 minutes after frying the chicken and making the sauce and it was PERFECT! GLORIOUS! The flavours were perfect and the chicken soooooo tender. I loved it and so did my "not easy to impress" boyfriend :) Thank you!

Put the chicken into a casserole dish while making the sauce and pour it over the chicken when ready. Put it in the oven, lid on for 75 minutes.
