Chicken and Mushrooms in Tomato Sauce

Creating a simple recipe by using most of the ingredients already on hand is a good way to enjoy easily-prepared, healthy meals every day. That has been my primary purpose to encourage people to start cooking more at home.

Ingredients:
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
5 oz white button mushrooms, thickly sliced
1/4 cup white wine
1 small white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt or more to taste
1 tbs tomato paste
1 fresh tomato, finely chopped
Fresh chives, cilantro, or green onions chopped

Directions:
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add white onions and cook, stirring for 5 minutes until the onions are softened but not brown. Add garlic and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add chili powder, coriander, and cumin. Cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add chicken, mushrooms, and tomato paste and stir until all the ingredients are blended. Add white wine and fresh, chopped tomato. Season with salt and black pepper. Turn heat down and simmer until sauce is thickened (about 10 minutes). Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with chives, cilantro, or green onions on top, and serve immediately.
