Steps:
- Season the chicken evenly on both sides with 1½ tablespoons salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Return the sauce to a simmer, place the chicken in the sauce, and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer until chicken is fully cooked through, 5-10 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the pan. Stir the minced parsley and lemon zest into the sauce, then taste for seasoning. Slice the chicken. Remove the sauce from the heat.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and season with salt to taste. Saute mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the pan.

CREAMY HERB AND GARLIC CHICKEN OVER GNOCCHI
This is a very quick and easy recipe to throw together, it tastes great and makes for a wonderful after work dinner or great mid week meal when you want no fuss. You can make your own gnocchi if you prefer, but for quickness of this recipe I used fresh store bought gnocchi, you can find this in the fresh pasta section of most supermarkets. For those of you who have never eaten gnocchi before or do not know what it is, a quick explanation is basically Italian dumplings, made from either potato, semolina or flour.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND GARLIC PICNIC PASTIES-PARCELS WITH BOURSIN
Delectable litle pasties or pastry parcels filled with tender chunks of chicken breast and French Boursin cream Cheese, delicious! These are so easy to make, as they use cooked chicken breast, making them very handy for any leftovers you might have. France meets England in these pastry parcels, I have taken the idea of a traditional pasty, then added a little French touch with the Boursin cheese, thus dispensing with any need to make a white sauce to bind the chicken! Great for lunch boxes, picnics, lunch, supper or a light meals or snacks.NB: (I would not advise re-heating these, as the chicken has already been cooked twice before - they are just as delicious warm or cold.)

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350. Combine the flour, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano. Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture and coat well.
- 2. In a large skillet, heat 3 Tablespoons oil until hot. Carefully place the breaded chicken in the oil until each side is golden brown. Avoid cooking all the way through!!
- 3. On a cookie sheet, line with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Place the chicken breasts on the cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes until cooked through. Set aside.
- 4. While the chicken is cooking, in a large pot cook the fettucine noodles according to package directions. Add the remaining 2 T olive oil to the skillet (after cleaning it) and cook the chopped red pepper and garlic for about 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp of flour and stir constantly for one minute.
- 5. Add the chicken broth and bring to a light simmer while whisking constantly until it is starting to thicken. This takes about 3-4 minutes.
- 6. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and cornstarch. Add the spinach, cream mixture, and milk to the skillet. Bring this to a simmer and continue to cook until spinach starts to wilt. Stir in the parmesan cheese.
- 7. Add half of the sauce to the coating the cooked and drained fettuccine noodles.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a much more intense flavor than pre-minced or jarred garlic. If you can, always use fresh garlic in your recipes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will also make it more difficult to get a good sear.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before serving.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, can add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
Conclusion:
Creamy garlic chicken is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With the right ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can create a creamy garlic chicken dish that will be sure to impress your family and friends.
