Mushroom lovers rejoice! This moist chicken perfectly combines garlic and mushrooms into a flavorful entree. âRebecca Baird, Salt Lake City, Utah Ingredients:
1/3 cup uncooked brown rice |
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch, divided |
1/8 teaspoon garlic-herb seasoning blend |
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each) |
1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil |
2-1/2 pounds sliced fresh mushrooms |
2 green onions, thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1-1/2 teaspoons capers, drained |
1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth |
1 bay leaf |
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
2 teaspoons cold water |
Directions:
1. Cook rice according to package directions. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch and the seasoning blend; sprinkle over chicken on both sides.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in oil. Remove and keep warm. Add mushrooms and onions to the pan; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add the vinegar, garlic and capers; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
3. Return chicken to the pan; carefully add the broth, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.
4. Combine the remaining cornstarch with the water until smooth; stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Discard bay leaf. Serve chicken and mushrooms with rice. Yield: 2 servings.
