A Creative Chicken Recipe - -
Chicken for dinner tonight? You bet! Chicken is not only a good source
of lean protein, but it's also less expensive than meat and easy to
prepare. This delicious recipe puts a healthy spin on a traditional
chicken dinner.
Cremini mushrooms, also known as brown or Italian mushrooms, are a
more flavorful variety of the button mushroom. They come in a range
of sizes; try to find small ones for this elegant dish.
Hands-on time: 10 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
4 (6-oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
8 oz small cremini mushrooms, quartered
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup lower-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium
heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per
side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Add the mushrooms, scallions, and remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet.
Cook over medium heat, tossing frequently, until the mushrooms have wilted, about 3 minutes.
Add the broth, cream cheese, rosemary, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Stir until the cream cheese melts, about 1 minute.
Return the chicken to the pan and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until
the chicken is cooked through and still juicy, about 5 minutes. Divide
the chicken and sauce evenly among 4 plates and serve hot.
