How to Make Chicken Chasseur

In a large pan, pour in some olive oil and heat it over medium-high. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts, browning them for about 5 minutes on each side. Then, remove and set aside.
Add butter to the same pan and let it melt. Toss in the sliced onions, halved mushrooms, and garlic, sautéing on low heat for about 10 minutes until they're soft and aromatic.
Pour in the dry white wine, watching it bubble for around 2 minutes to let the flavors reduce and intensify.
Mix in the fresh thyme leaves and bay leaves along with the tomato paste. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Place the browned chicken back into the pan and add the canned diced tomatoes and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
Lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes. After that, uncover the pan and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors beautifully.
If the sauce is too watery, continue to simmer it uncovered until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Enjoy your Chicken Chasseur by serving it over creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or nestle it next to some crusty bread.
