* 6 chicken breasts (either bone in or halves with skin on) n * 1 tsp dried thyme n* Olive oil n* 6 large Portobello mushrooms (or enough smaller mushrooms to cover the bottom of the baking pan) n* 1 tbsp minced garlic n* Salt and pepper to taste n* 2 cups dry white wine or dry vermouth n* 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsleynnPlace rack in center of oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Into a lightly oiled baking pan, large enough to hold chicken breasts, arrange mushrooms gill side down. Sprinkle with minced garlic, salt and pepper. Pour wine over mushrooms. Place chicken breasts skin side up over mushrooms and brush with olive oil.nnBake uncovered about 20 minutes, until the breasts are golden brown. If the wine has evaporated during the cooking process, add a little more (for those of you who can't tolerate alcohol, keep in mind that it burns off during the cooking process, leaving only the flavor). Baste the breasts with the pan juices and turn over. Cook until breasts are completely done and springy to the finger, about 15 minutes more.nnWith a slotted spoon, place the chicken and mushrooms on a platter, mushrooms on the bottom and breasts on top, skin side up. Skim off excess fat and spoon juices over the chicken. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with steamed broccoli and boiled new potatoes. (Substitute brown rice for potatoes, if desired). Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with a light green salad, dressed with the lemon chive dressing above. For more details http://www.indomunch.comn
