Chicken with mushrooms and tomatoes, or a version of this dish, is a go-to for me. It is more about the method here than the ingredients because you can switch things out depending on what you like, what's in season, or what you have on hand.
By browning the chicken first, you add its flavor to the vegetables. The combination of mushrooms, onions, and garlic is a favorite for me. I don't overspice this dish, so a little bit of thyme complements the mushrooms (they are best friends) and the chicken, so it is perfect, but you could add tarragon (just a little), rosemary, or even flip the flavor profile and add a curry powder mixture.
The wine helps to loosen all the bits at the bottom of the pan, adding additional depth of flavor to the dish. Then the tomatoes make the sauce come to life.
I add more mushrooms and tomatoes to the dish than the original recipe I found in the America's Test Kitchen Complete Mediterranean Cookbook because I like more sauce. I may also add more chicken stock depending on how juicy the mushrooms are.
