Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    Non Stick Butter Spray (essential that it be butter)
    2 good size bunches of fresh scallions washed
    8 oz container of pre-sliced baby bella or brown mushrooms
    heaping tablespoon of minced garlic
    12 ounces of lean chicken brest, no skin, no bone ( I used two big ones from a family pack, cheaper.) Cut into four servings. If it is for company, then 4 smaller breasts.
    1/2 cup low sodium, organic chicken broth
    2 cups fat-free half and half
    1/4 cup whole grain flour
    1/4 cup of butter ( unsalted will work, I didn't have any.)
    1 tbsp Land o Lakes Spreadable Butter w/ Canola Oil

    Then, either:

    Italian Seasoning or

    Oregano
    Thyme
    Basil
    Sage
    to taste

    black pepper to taste
    and several dashes of salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray Pyrex dish with butter spray
On a separate plate, season dryed chicken breasts with your seasonings.
Add 1/8-1/4 cup of chicken broth to pyrex dish (depending on size and amount of chicken)
Place seasoned breasts in pyrex dish
Place small bits of the tbsp of Land o Lakes on top of each breast.
Cover Pyrex dish with aluminum foil, place in oven when preheated. Should cook about 35 - 45 mins in most oven. You want chicken done, but still moist and tender.

Dice scallions, cutting to the leafy part, removing the heads.

Spray medium sized skillet with butter spray, place over medium heat, when skillet is hot, add scallions, mushrooms, and garlic. Saute' until mushrooms are browned, scallions and garlic are carmelized. Then remove from heat. Leave on stove to keep them warm.

About 10 mins prior to removing chicken, begin sauce.

In sauce pan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat.

When butter is melted, add in flour, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.

Continue to stir, add half and half and 1/4 cup chicken broth, continually stirring.

Then add seasonings.

Stir until sauce thickens, then remove from heat.

Remove chicken.

In serving dish, lay bed of scallion mixture, then add your chicken, (do not add any moisture from the chicken pan), then pour over your sauce.

Serve.

Again, it makes 4 servings with plenty of sauce and veggies. You can adjust the seasonings to suit yourself. And add pasta if you want a more filling meal or if it is for company.

Serving Size: makes 4, 3 oz servings of chicken with ample sauce and veggies.

Number of Servings: 4
