1/2 tsp Hy-Vee ground black pepper
2 pound Smart Chicken™ boneless skinless breasts
3 tbsp Grand Selections olive oil, divided
8 ounces sliced mushrooms (about 3 cups)

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. Hy-Vee chicken broth

All you do:
Combine thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Sprinkle mixture over both sides of each chicken breast. In a very large skillet heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add half of chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook until golden and cooked through (170°F) about 6 minutes, turning once. Remove chicken from skillet; cover and keep warm. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding more oil if necessary; remove chicken from skillet.
Add 1 tablespoon more olive oil to skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms, onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is tender. Combine broth, flour, Dijon-style mustard and remaining salt. Add to skillet. Cook and stir until bubbly. Stir in tomatoes. Add half of chicken; heat through and serve with sauce. Reserve remaining chicken.*
