Ingredients
- 214½-ounce cans diced tomatoes
- 1teaspoon olive oil
- 4large cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
- 2medium onions, peeled and thinly sliced
- 12mushrooms, cut in ½-inch dice
- 4small zucchini, cut into ÂĽ-inch julienne
- 2red or green bell peppers, cored and julienned
- 1½teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2chicken breasts, skinned, boned and split
- 1tablespoon fresh thyme, coarsely chopped
Preparation
- Step 1
Drain the canned tomatoes and reserve their liquid. Brush a large nonstick skillet with the olive oil and place over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and ½ cup of the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and peppers and cook for 3 minutes more.
- Step 2
Stir in the remaining tomatoes and their reserved liquid, salt and pepper. Simmer 2 minutes. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and spoon the vegetable mixture over them. Adjust the heat so the liquid simmers and cook until the chicken is cooked through, turning it once, about 25 minutes.
- Step 3
Take out the chicken, raise the heat and simmer until the vegetable mixture thickens, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the thyme. Return the chicken to the skillet and add more salt and pepper to taste. Divide the chicken among 4 plates and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

This is a pleasant, homey dish. I used tomatoes from my garden rather than canned tomatoes. Also, my chicken breast was still frozen so I poached it before I put it in with the vegetables. I added a little of the poaching broth to the vegetable mixture as it looked as though might cook dry.
