Super easy Creamy mushroom chicken

Super easy!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Chicken breast
1 tbsp Olive oil
8 Cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/2 Small onion sliced
1/4 cup broth
1 tbsps of Cream cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Cook/boil the chicken breast (my favorite way is pressure cooker for 15 min) with a "bouquet garni" & salt. Once cooled down, shred and reserve.
In a skillet, heat the Olive oil and add the onions, once translucent (1-2 min), add the sliced mushrooms and broth and cook for 2 min on low heat. Add the chicken, and when everything is hot (3 min) add the cream cheese and turn off the heat. Mix well and serve.

This is served with roasted rosemary carrots and bamboo rice.

Harissa stuffed mushrooms


From thechew.com

CAUTION >>> HOT HOT HOT


INGREDIENTS:

1 teaspoon Harissa Spice Mix
1/2 cup Cream Cheese (softened)
2 pounds Cremini Mushrooms (cleaned; stems removed)
1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
Olive Oil


DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven 350°F. Place a wire rack inside a baking sheet.

Place the Mushrooms, stem side down, on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes to allow Mushrooms to release excess moisture. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature.

While the Mushrooms are baking, blend together the Harissa spice mix and cream cheese to form a paste. Transfer the mix to a piping bag or zip top bag.

Flip the Mushrooms over to reveal the cavity. Fill the Mushrooms with Cream Cheese mixture.

Stir together the Panko & some Olive Oil; just to lightly coat. Sprinkle the mixture over the filled Mushrooms.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until Panko is golden. (mine could've used more browning)

Remove and allow to cool slightly before serving.
