CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS




CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS
Here’s a simple supper that is high on taste....something else to make with fresh mushrooms and chicken breasts.  Good to have some quick, simple meals on hand, too.

1/cup olive oil (60 mL)
4 large chicken breasts
Seasoning salt, to taste
2 cups sliced, fresh mushrooms (500 mL)
1 tsp crushed garlic (5 mL)
1/tsp seasoning salt (1 mL)
3/cup water (175 mL)
1 tsp dried parsley (5 mL)

In nonstick frying pan in 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil over medium high heat, sear chicken breasts 3 minutes on both sides.  Sprinkle lightly with seasoning salt on both sides while cooking.  Set aside.

To frying pan add remaining olive oil, mushrooms and garlic.  Toss mushrooms to coat with oil.  Cover and cook over medium heat until juices release.  Uncover and continue to cook until the mushrooms are brown. Sprinkle mushrooms with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) seasoning salt. Add water and parsley.  Add chicken breasts.  Cover and continue to cook 8 to 12 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.  Check at 8 minutes to prevent overcooking the chicken.


Variation:  Chicken and Mushrooms in White Wine: Instead of water, use 1/cup (125 mL) dry white wine and add 1/cup (125 mL) chicken stock.  Reduce liquid to desired amount once chicken has been removed from the pan.  (1.9 g carbs)
