SMOTHERED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS
This hearty and delicious dish is actually diet-friendly! The recipe was printed in a local newspaper about 10 years ago; however, the recipe is identical to one found in the "Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library: Healthy Cooking" by John Phillip Carroll. I recommend serving this over rice.

Steps:
- Peel the carrot, quarter it lengthwise and then cut crosswise into pieces 1/2 inch thick. Set aside with the onion and the mushrooms.
- Coat a large nonstick frying pan with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. When hot but not smoking, add the chicken breast halves and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until browned (about 2 minutes per side). Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat and add oil. When hot but not smoking, add the carrot, onion, and mushrooms and cook briskly, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened and are lightly browned (about 7 minutes).
- Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until fully blended (about 2 minutes longer).
- Add the broth and the tarragon (if desired) and bring to a boil, stirring frequently until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken breasts to the pan, pushing them down into the liquid. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the chicken breasts are opaque throughout (when cut open with a knife) and the vegetables are tender (about 10 minutes).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Sprinkle the garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper on both sides of the chicken. Bake for 16 minutes. Meanwhile, make the creamed spinach. Over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Add in the onions and saute 2-3 minutes. Add in the spinach and garlic. It will shrink ridiculously. When it's cooked through, stir in the cream cheese and parmesan cheese. Continue cooking and stirring until the cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat. For the mushrooms, melt butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Put the mushrooms in and cook until browned all over. Don't season with salt until they are browned or they will never brown. Deglaze the pan with the wine. Add in the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until most of the wine is cooked out. Flip the chicken pieces over. Divide the spinach and mushrooms over the top of each breast. Lay two slices of cheese over each piece of chicken. Cook another 12-14 minutes or until cheese is browned and chicken is done.
CRAIG CLAIBORNE'S SMOTHERED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS
A classic of his Mississippi childhood, Craig Claiborne's smothered chicken made its debut in The Times in 1983, accompanied by mushrooms and small onions that give it a slightly more metropolitan flavor. (You could always omit these if you have neither on hand.) The basic idea is to split a chicken down the back and cook it whole in a skillet over butter, with a weighted plate on top to insure a crisp skin, and rich gravy. In terms of temperature and time, the Southern gospel of low and slow is key to achieving maximum smother.

Steps:
- Craig Claiborne believed a black iron skillet to be essential for the authentic preparation of this dish. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Select a skillet large enough to hold the chicken comfortably when it is opened up as for broiling. Fold the chicken wings under to hold them secure.
- Melt half the butter in the pan and add the chicken skinside down. Cover the chicken firmly with a plate that will fit comfortably inside the pan. Place a heavy can, stone or brick on the top of the plate to weight it down. Cook over low heat, checking the skin side of the chicken, until it is nicely browned, approximately 25 minutes.
- Remove weight and plate and weights. Pour off most of the fat from the pan and add the remaining two tablespoons of butter. Turn the chicken skin-side up.
- Scatter the mushrooms over the chicken. Scatter the onions around it. Add the bay leaf, thyme, wine and chicken broth. Replace the plate and the weights and continue cooking over low heat about 45 minutes longer.
- Remove the chicken to a warm platter. Spoon the mushrooms and onions around the chicken. Cook down the pan liquid until reduced by half. Pour this over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 220c, fan 200c, 425f or gas mark 7
- Add the chicken to a bowl with the seasoning and toss to evenly coat.
- Heat a large deep frying pan over a medium high heat (I use one that can go in the oven for less clean up). Spray with cooking oil spray.
- Add the chicken pieces all in one layer and brown on both sides until nice and golden (approx 4-5 minutes per side), Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Spray with a little more spray oil and add in the mushrooms and fry for a couple of minutes, scraping up all the flavour that is left in the bottom of the pan from the chicken.
- Add in the garlic and just give a stir to combine evenly, then gradually add in 1/2 cup (120ml) of the chicken stock reducing down each little bit around the mushrooms and garlic until the garlic has really softened and has a lovely golden colour. This will make the garlic lovely a sweet. Don't rush this process or you will burn the garlic and cause it to be bitter.
- Add in the cream cheese and remaining stock (1 cup) and allow to bubble gently stirring as it does, until the cream cheese is all melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Add back in the chicken pieces in a even layer and spoon the sauce all over the top so they are well covered.
- Add the mozzarella and parmesan to the top. then add lid and place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, remove lid for the last 10 minutes of cooking time. Cheese should be all melted and lightly golden and chicken cooked through (chicken should have an internal temp of 165f).
- Sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve with your choice of sides.
- Enjoy!!
