Chicken Chasseur | Classic French Chicken Recipe!

This recipe for this Chicken Chasseur is a less known French classic made quicker and healthier! Chicken breasts braised in rich tomato sauce with onions and mushrooms are easy and delicious!

There are quite a few variations of Chicken Chasseur and I assume this is partly due to the fact that the French do not go into many details when sharing recipes. The instructions and ingredient lists are short and give much room for improvisation.

All recipes contain chicken, either a whole one or chicken parts. The sauce is made of sauteed in butter onions and mushrooms and a splash of dry white, canned or fresh chopped tomatoes and herbs such as thyme, tarragon or parsley.

My version of Chicken Chasseur is a faster and simpler one, developed for busy families and quick after work dinners. I replaced chicken parts with skinless boneless chicken breasts to speed up the cooking process and to cut a few calories if I am completely honest.
