Spa Chicken
Crimini mushrooms are the brown variety of the more common white mushrooms. Criminis possess a slightly firmer texture and fuller flavor that blends beautifully with artichokes and sour cream.
Ingredients
-
4 small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lb.)
-
Salt and ground black pepper
-
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
-
2 cups mushrooms, such as crimini, baby portabello or button mushrooms, sliced
-
2 cups sliced leeks
-
1 shallot, finely chopped (2 Tbsp.)
-
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce for chicken

1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed

2 tablespoons fat-free dairy sour cream

4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
-
1/2 cup chopped roma tomatoes
-
2 tablespoons snipped fresh Italian parsley (optional)
Directions
1.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet brown chicken in hot butter or olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet; add mushrooms, leeks, and shallot. Cook and stir until mushrooms are tender. Return chicken to skillet; add 1/2 cup of the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and artichoke hearts. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 10 minutes or until no pink remains in chicken (170 degrees F).

Meanwhile, in a bowl combine sour cream, flour, mustard, and remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth. Remove chicken and vegetables to serving platter with a slotted spoon; cover and keep warm. Stir sour cream mixture into skillet; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with tomato and, if desired, parsley. Makes 4 servings.
