Try it Tuesday

This weeks Try it Tuesday is a delicious chicken recipe.  It is kind of high in sodium due to the French onion soup, but it's very tasty!  I like to serve it with some brown rice and a veggie.

WW Bistro Chicken
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon olive oil
6 each boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup chopped shallots
14 1/2 ounces diced canned tomatoes, with juice
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 can French onion soup, condensed
1 cup Swiss cheese, grated (I don't like Swiss so I used cheddar)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a 12" ovenproof skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle the chicken breasts with half the salt and pepper, reserving the rest for the sauce.

Pan-fry the the chicken until both sides are golden but the chicken is not cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the skillet, add the shallots, and cook stirring, until they are softened, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and thyme and cook until the sauce has reduced a bit, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the soup and cook another 4 minutes, seasoning with the remaining salt and pepper.

Return the chicken to the skillet, cover with the cheese, and bake until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
