Ingredients:
For the Chicken
8 oz raw chicken breasts - should yield 6 oz cooked (1 Leaner Lean)
1/4 tsp salt (1 Condiment)
1/8 tsp pepper (1/4 Condiment)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (1/2 Condiment)
cooking spray
For the Sauce
cooking spray
1/2 cup cremini mushrooms (1 Green)
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup lower-sodium chicken broth (1/2 Condiment)
2 tbsp reduced fat cream cheese or 2 light laughing cow cheese wedges (1 Healthy Fat)
1/2 tbsp fresh rosemary or parsley, chopped (1/4 Condiment)
dash of salt (optional)
Directions:
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate and tent lightly with foil to keep warm.
Spray pan with cooking spray and add the mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, turning once, until the mushrooms are nicely browned, about 3 minutes.
Add the broth, cream cheese or light laughing cow cheese, salt, and rosemary or parsley. Whisk until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Test for seasoning and add a dash of salt if necessary.
Return the chicken to the pan. Bring to a simmer and reduce to a creamy consistency. Add the scallion, stir just to incorporate. Plate the sauce and top with chicken. Serve with your favorite Green.
