Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb chicken piece (I used chicken tenders)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 lb mushroom
1 yellow onion
4 garlic cloves
2 -3 fresh tomatoes
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon saffron thread
salt

Steps:

  • Slice the mushrooms and the onions and the garlic.
  • Chop the tomatoes into eighths - you want chunks of tomato you can actually taste!
  • In a saute pan, melt the oil and butter and brown the chicken on all sides.
  • Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic and stir until onions are wilted.
  • Add the tomatoes, broth, sherry and when liquid is heated through, add the saffron and other seasonings.
  • Cover the pan, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve in bowls with broth over the meat and vegetables.
