Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil plus more if needed
- 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into 1 ½ to 2-inch strips
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or ½ tsp dried thyme

- 1 tbsp sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken and brown for 3 minutes on each side, adding more oil and cooking in batches, if needed.
- Remove chicken and set aside on a plate. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer and brown, working in batches, a few minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, and sundried tomatoes; sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes, spices, beans, and sugar.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and spoon some of the sauce and vegetables over top of the chicken. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked, about ten minutes. Return the mushrooms to the pan. Correct seasoning by adding salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
- Enjoy!
Notes

My family really enjoyed this dish. However, I think that I would omit the sugar next time, with the sundried tomatoes it was a bit too sweet for me. I’d also like to try adding spinach to this recipe next time.
Hi Maria,
The good thing about this kind of recipe is that you can adapt it according to personal preferences. Adding spinach sounds a great idea 🙂
I don’t have the beans or tomatoes, I have chili beans and tomato sauce (and everything else) though. Would that work do you think?
Hi Hannah,
I am pretty sure chili beans and tomato sauce will work fine. Enjoy and let me know how it goes.
My future son-in-law made this for us for dinner. It was delicious!
Awww! That was cool 🙂 🙂
