Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 ounces mushrooms, quartered (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 2 large carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, halved and sliced
- 1 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
- 1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry red wine, preferably Zinfandel
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
Step 1
Place flour in a shallow dish.
Sprinkle the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and dredge in the flour.
Whisk water with 2 tablespoons of the leftover flour in a small bowl; set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add the chicken. Cook, turning once or twice, until lightly browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan; reduce heat to medium-low. Add mushrooms, carrots, onion and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and browned in spots, about 5 minutes.
Add broth, wine, tomato paste and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir until the tomato paste is dissolved. Bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken and any accumulated juice to the pan. Cover, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring once or twice, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165°F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate.
Increase the heat under the sauce to medium-high. Stir the water-flour mixture, add it to the pan and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Serve the chicken with the sauce, sprinkled with parsley.
