This healthy chicken breast with mushrooms recipe is a delightful and nutritious meal, packed with protein and bursting with flavor. Easy to prepare and perfect for a weeknight dinner, this dish features a savory sauce enhanced by rosemary, worcestershire sauce, and mustard, paired with the earthy taste of mushrooms and the subtle sweetness of leeks. Let's dive into the steps to create this delectable dish!
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and rosemary. Add the sliced chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the leek and mushrooms, and mince the garlic cloves. Set them aside.
After marinating, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard any leftover marinade) and add it to the skillet. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the sliced leeks, mushrooms, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes, or until they become tender and fragrant.
In a small bowl, mix the corn flour with a little bit of water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the chicken gravy and mix well to combine. This will help thicken the gravy.
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the thickened chicken gravy over the top and stir to coat everything evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through and the flavors are well combined.
Once everything is cooked and well combined, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the healthy chicken breast with mushrooms hot, paired with your favorite side dish like a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or whole grains.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for added flavor.
- Ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear and to lock in the juices.
- You can substitute the chicken gravy with a low-sodium variant or homemade gravy for a healthier option.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for a deeper flavor profile.
- If desired, you can add a handful of spinach or kale towards the end of cooking for some added greens.
With its rich flavors and healthy ingredients, this chicken breast with mushrooms is sure to become a favorite in your household. It's simple enough for a weeknight dinner but delicious enough to impress guests. Enjoy your meal knowing you're treating yourself to something nutritious and wholesome!
