**Chicken Mushroom Onion Red Wine**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup sliced mushrooms (such as cremini or button)
– 1 large onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup red wine (use a variety you enjoy drinking)
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and starting to caramelize.
5. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the skillet. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
6. Pour in the red wine and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
8. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside to rest.
9. Continue to simmer the sauce uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
10. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
11. Serve the chicken breasts topped with the mushroom and onion red wine sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
