I know I have mentioned before how much my Husband and I love chicken. It’s the perfect ingredient for anything healthy….it can be difficult at times to have ideas for skinless chicken breasts especially when you want to keep it healthy, but still tasty.
I love to grill it and then accompany it with any vegetable I have in the house i.e. zucchini, eggplant, green beans, spinach, broccoli or of course fresh vegetables salad.
But then the fall comes along and you start feeling like you want to eat something warm and a little more; how can I put it heartfilling. So anyways, most fall/winter recipes include heavier ingredients and aren’t as healthy as one would like. I find it though easy because I just like to throw whatever vegetable I find in my fridge that I could also use in a salad raw, and cook it. In this case I had sliced mushrooms (I love to add those raw to a green vegetable salad), and some sundried tomatoes in olive oil. Perfect I knew exactly what I could do so here the recipe follows.
Enjoy this heart-warming meal you can accompany it with other vegetables, roasted potatoes, or with brown rice, quinoa, cous-cous, and whole grain pasta. You pick that.
Ingredients:
2 medium sliced skinless Chicken Breasts
1 handful Mushrooms, Sliced
10 Sundried Tomatoes, drained
1 clove, Garlic minced
Handful Parsley, chopped
3 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive oil
1/5 cup Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a large saucepan heat the olive oil, and add your garlic, add your mushrooms and allow to cook for about 4 minutes, in the meantime chop your sundried tomatoes and then add to your mushrooms, add the water and allow to simmer for 3 minutes.
Add chicken breasts to the pan with the ingredients, cover and allow to 10 minutes, turning the chicken over once. Add parsley, salt and pepper cook for about another 3 minutes and then serve.
This looks delicious and I love the addition of Sun Dried Tomatoes
Yes. My husband lives sun dried tomatoes…. And often times I forget to use them, but they add amazing flavor to food.

I will have to make the mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes. I think it would be great on spaghetti squash.
That’s a fantastic option as well. Use all the ingredients leaving out the chicken. You could add some more flavor by replacing the water with white wine.

looks delicious in deed!! can’t wait to try this one. hugs&kisses.
So easy. Hope you try.. Ciao
So you’re treating the vegis-water mixture as a bed for the chicken as it stews in the saucepan?
Exactly. This way your chicken stays moist and cooks evenly. You could do something even more delicious and add white wine instead 🙂
Enjoy. And thanks for stopping by mythineats
I’ll definitely try that. Thank you for the suggestion!
This looks great! I love that you incorporated the veggies – great way to use up what’s leftover from other meals.
Exactly. It’s so simple and nutritious.
