SPINACH AND MUSHROOM SMOTHERED GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Spinach and Mushroom Smothered Grilled Chicken Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-160091

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups fresh baby spinach
1 3/4 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons pecans, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon rotisserie chicken seasoning
2 slices reduced-fat provolone cheese, halved

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, sauté the spinach, mushrooms, onions and pecans in oil until mushrooms are tender. Set aside and keep warm. Sprinkle chicken with seasoning. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°F. Top with cheese. Cover and grill 2 to 3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. To serve, top each chicken breast with reserved spinach mixture.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps during the cooking process.
  • Choose the Right Mushrooms: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. Be sure to clean the mushrooms thoroughly before using them.
  • Brown the Chicken Properly: To get a nice, golden brown color on the chicken, make sure to brown it in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Simmer the Sauce: Once you've added the mushrooms and sauce to the chicken, let it simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Serve with Creamy Mashed Potatoes: Mushroom smothered chicken pairs perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes. The creamy potatoes will help to balance out the richness of the sauce.
