this might seem like alot of steps for a basic chicken dish, but this comes out so tasty & its really alot easier than it may seem!! after 10 minutes pop it into the oven & you have a half hour to clean up or just kick back & relax til serving time. i usually serve this dish with my spicey mashed potatoes & baked asparagus...yummy!! Ingredients:
3/4 cup flour |
2 teaspoons cayenne |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
2 teaspoons sea salt |
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 cup onion, chopped |
4 large garlic cloves, minced |
1 jalapeno |
3 cups mushrooms, sliced |
2 carrots, thinly sliced into coins |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1 pinch sea salt |
1 1/4 cups chicken stock |
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar |
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted |

3. combine flour, cayenne, 1/4 tsp sea salt & black pepper in a large ziploc bag. add chicken & shake to coat. reserve remaining flour mixture for later use.
4. heat olive oil a large skillet on med-high heat (or pam spray) & brown chicken for 5 minutes each side & add to casserole dish in the oven. if your skillet isn’t large enough you can do this step in batches & just add 1st batch to casserole dish in oven, a little more oil to the skillet and do the next batch & then add to casserole dish.
