1 jar (24 ounces) red pomodoro sauce
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup seasoned flour for dredging chicken
Method:
Prepare the Chicken:
Dredge the chicken tenderloins lightly in seasoned flour, ensuring an even coating.
Sear the Chicken:
In a wide pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Lay the chicken tenderloins in the pan and sear on both sides until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
In the same pan, add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften.
Deglaze the Pan:
Pour in the white wine, stirring to deglaze the pan and incorporate any browned bits from the chicken.
Allow the mixture to reduce for approximately 5 minutes.
Add Sauce and Seasonings:
Add the chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, and pomodoro sauce to the pan. Stir to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer the Chicken:
Return the seared chicken tenderloins to the pan, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.
Serve:
Transfer the chicken and sauce to serving plates and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
