Saute' 'shrooms in big skillet till butter coated, add beans w/juice and potatoes, simmer. 
Heat the oil in small skillet, sear, braise each Breast, gets a brown crust. 
Stir veggies, set meat on top, cover, keep high simmer a few minutes. Scrape spatula under veggies off bottom, layer on top of meat, add water if it sticks. Meat cooks by steam
Stir often, ladle over meat. I added water to braise pan (wine or beer here) poured drippings on top, uncover to thicken. 
Add gravy, lower heat, till lightly burbles. 
Test meat, stick a sharp knife in breast. When done, knife will slide easily thru. 
Should be done in 25 minutes simmering. Will be some gravy clumps on skillet bottom, use spatula to scrape onto the meat. 
Voila'! Mmm thick, juicy Irish chicken and potatoes!
Drink the remainder of wine or beer -- enjoy.
