It's been awhile since I've posted a recipe, so I thought I would share one of our favs. It's actually a Paula Deen recipe and can be found in her Savannah Country Cookbook. This is my fav cookbook of hers, by the way. This recipe isn't terribly unhealthy to begin with, but with a few changes, can be made very healthy. This recipe is made in one skillet and is versatile as many sides pair well with it.
Chicken Georgia
2 TBSP olive oil (4TBSP butter originally)
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts, pounded to ensure even thickness
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, more if desired
2 TBSP chopped shallots or onions
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 pepper
4 cloves garlic smashed (I add this)
small amount of parmesan to top chicken
Heat oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet and cover. I lower temp to med-low and cook approx. 15 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and top with mushroom mixture and cheese. Let stand until cheese melts.
Side suggestions:
oven roasted asparagus
steamed broccoli
refried beans
roasted red potatoes (red potatoes are recommended on The DP as they have less starch content).
There you go, y'all. Easy, quick and delicious. Hope y'all try this soon. Simple enough to fix for the family and good enough to share with company.
