Pin and save this for later

Garlic and parmesan chicken and mushroom

I love creating this dish in a large skillet that holds all that delicious creamy sauce with the chicken and mushrooms. I typically get dried shitake mushrooms, rehydrate then and reserve the sauce for more umami style flavor to the dish.

Prepared in less than thirty minutes the garlicky and parmesan flavors mixed in with the rich creamy sauce coating the chicken and mushrooms is really to die for and you should consider doubling the dish if you want to save this for later meals.

Basic ingredients and substitutions

One pound Chicken breast cut up into small chunks. You can also substitute any chicken parts you wish

8 ounces of shitake mushrooms or any mushrooms you prefer. Cut them into smaller chunks or slices

One 1/2 cup parmesan cheese

One bag of spinach greens chopped or substitute cauliflower, broccoli or any greens you prefer

One cup of heavy cream or half and half

Two tablespoons of Olive oil

Three tablespoons of butter

1/2 cup of chicken broth

Two garlic cloves

Salt and Pepper to taste

How to make this savory garlic and parmesan mushroom chicken

Place the olive oil in the skillet and warm.

Eventually put in your chicken and brown the pieces, take out and reserve on a plate

Add your butter and melt, then add your garlic and saute until you smell the garlic flavors

Then add the mushrooms and saute for about three minutes

Pour in your cream and mix everything together

Pour in the chicken broth to add more flavor or add the mushroom from hydrating the mushrooms

Add the parmesan cheese and season with the salt and pepper

Eventually add all the chopped spinach or greens to the saute and mix

Place back the cooked chicken and coat evenly with the creamy parmesan sauce.

Finishing and plating your dish

It’s preferable to serve the dish cooked and ready and when you plate your dish think of the plating rule to add this as your protein to 1/4 of your plate, followed with your vegetables which is about 1/2 size of the plate and then a low carb grain of your choosing like barley, quinoa or brown rice.

You can eat this dish on its own or add some different sides that can make that plating ratio make sense

Other variations include:

Add some Cole slaw as a 1/4 portion side

Add a salad or vegetable greens that can take up a larger portion of the plate

Maybe add a healthy grain food like quinoa to the mix
