Chicken Spinach And Mushroom Recipes

CREAMY SPINACH MUSHROOM CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board in front of you. With a sharp knife, carefully slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create two thin cutlets.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken then season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat a large skillet or deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the chicken and allow to sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
• In the same pan, melt the butter then cook the garlic and oregano for 30 seconds.
• Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown. Add the spinach and allow to cook for a few minutes until wilted.
• Pour in the cream then bring to a simmer. Allow to gently cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked and the sauce has reduced slightly.
• Season the sauce with lemon juice, salt and pepper and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
• Place the chicken back in the pan and cook for another 5 minutes then serve.

CREAMY CHICKEN, MUSHROOM, AND SPINACH PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl or a deep platter.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Season tenders with salt and pepper, place in the hot oil, and cook until lightly brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until light brown, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Add mushrooms and onion to the hot skillet and cook until onion is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth and mustard, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Return chicken tenders to skillet and submerge them in the broth mixture. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and place on top of the cooked pasta.
• Continue to cook the sauce until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in cream. Add spinach stir until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over chicken and pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley.
