Fry the thinly diced shallots until translucent. Cut the mushrooms into quarters and fry for an additional 5 minutes until softened.
Add the tomato paste and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine and brandy. Let the alcohol evaporate slightly before adding the chicken stock and 1 tbsp of tarragon.
Add the chicken back into the pan and let it cook uncovered for an additional 30 minutes. The chicken should be tender and the sauce thickened.
Score the top of the tomatoes and blanch them for 1 minute. Transfer to ice water to stop the cooking process, then peel the skin and roughly chop.
Add the fresh tomatoes and chopped parsley to the pan. Stir gently and serve the dish over mashed potatoes or rice.
