Ingredients
Method
In large skillet or shallow Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate.
Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper; fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until no liquid from mushrooms remains, about 10 minutes.
Add wine; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk flour into evaporated milk; add to pan and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in pesto.
Return chicken to pan, turning to coat; simmer until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
