This Chicken with Tomatoes and Mushrooms is simple and quick enough for weeknights, but I often serve it as my "company chicken" dish when guests come for dinner.
This is based of a recipe called Chicken Fricassee in a cooking magazine my mom bought years ago. Most fricassee recipes I have seen since have cream in them. And cacciatore recipes have bell peppers and other vegetables in them. So, I have no idea what to call it officially.
It is a quick and hearty meal that is delicious on pasta or polenta, my personal choice.

Instructions
