This week we thought we would stray from our string of low-carb dessert making and concentrate more on a succulent chicken dish.
Our hearty low-carb Parmesan mushroom chicken sounded like a cure for our cool night, here in Dallas.
Preparation time for our chicken recipe was 10-15 minutes, while our cooking time was about 1 hr. to 1 hr. 15 minutes.
Our succulent ingredients include:
- 3-4 Medium Sized Chicken Breast
- 3 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Package of Freshly Sliced Mushrooms
- 1 Stick of Margarine
- 1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning
- 1 Cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 Chopped Onion
- 1/2 tsp. Ground Pepper
We'll start by melting our margarine in our frying pan on medium heat.
Next, we'll peel and top our garlic cloves.
We'll then smash our cloves with our knife to bring out the garlic juices and will mince them.
Next, we'll place our chopped onions, minced Garlic, and mushrooms into our melted margarine, will stir and cover.
We will then, saute our vegetables for 10-15 minutes or until our onions are slightly translucent and our mushrooms have reduced in size.
While our vegetables are sauteing, we'll place our Mayo and Parmesan Cheese in their respective bowls.
After our vegetables have sauteed, we'll dredge our chicken breasts through our Mayo and Parmesan Cheese and will place in our skillet, one by one.
Had we realized that our chicken breasts were sooo large, we would have sliced them into pieces before placing them in our skillet.
However, we'll do that a little later into our cooking process.
We'll then, sprinkle our Italian Seasoning and Pepper over our chicken and will cover to allow them to cool for about 20 minutes.
Next, we'll uncover our pan and will flip each breast and will continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes.
Since our chicken breasts are so huge, their middles are still pink.
We don't want to over cook our chicken. So, we'll slice them into smaller strips to allow for a faster cooking time.
We'll then, continue to cook our chicken, periodically, basting our breasts with their juices.
We'll cook them for another 10 minutes, or until our meat is absent of any pinkness.
Since our chicken' s coloring is a perfect white and gravy is still present, our breasts have fully cooked!
The aroma has been permeating our apartment for the past hour and has been teasing our taste buds.
Finally, a taste of our tender garlicky mushroom chicken is overwhelmingly delicious!!
A warm, hearty, and succulent chicken dish is just what the doctor ordered.
This recipe is one that we've been cooking for years and will continue to cook for many many more.
From our kitchen to yours
~Enjoy!
