Ingredients
- 1/2teaspoon pepper
- 6-- boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each), all visible fat discarded
- 2teaspoons olive oil
- 8ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 1-- medium red onion, chopped

- 1/2teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
- 1/4 to 1/2teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Sprinkle the pepper over both sides of the chicken. Using your fingertips, gently press the pepper so it adheres to the chicken.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the chicken for 3 minutes on each side (the chicken won't be done at this point). Transfer to a plate. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, stir together the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients. Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, covered, for 25 minutes.
