Bistro-Style Chicken with Red Wine
Adapted from 100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know, 2011
Serves 2

Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp unsealed butter (I used salted)
1 c sliced onion
4 oz sliced mushrooms
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
1 c red wine (or beef broth)
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 oz diced bacon (I would use 1 slice per breast)
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (I am omitting bc I don't have any)

Place chicken between plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch in thickness. Salt and pepper liberally.
Evenly coat each piece of chicken in 1 tbsp of flour. Heat butter Ina 12 in skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken until lightly golden, 2 min per side. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, add onion, mushrooms, and thyme. Cook until the onion and mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute more.
Stir in wine (or broth) and tomato paste. Add bacon, then the chicken. Cover and simmer until just cooked through, 10 minutes.
Serve each piece sprinkled with parsley.
