Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon canola 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.
  4. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices. Reduce the heat; simmer, covered, until the chicken is done, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in the parsley and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  5. Serve with rice, noodles or buttered potatoes.
