Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast tenderloins
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil divided
12 ounces brown mushrooms sliced
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
3 cloves garlic minced
2/3 c. sun-dried tomatoes chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 14.5 oz can Cannelini Beans, drained and rinsed
2 14.5 oz cans fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh Parsley for garnish

Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken and brown it for 3 minutes on each side.
Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer and brown them, working in batches, for a few minutes per side. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
Add the onion and sauté it for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the oregano, thyme, beans, diced tomatoes, and sugar.
Transfer the chicken back to the pan and spoon some of the sauce and vegetables over the top of the chicken. Cook, covered, on the stovetop until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbling about ten minutes. Return the mushrooms to the pan. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with parsley.
