Ingredients:
-
Chicken and Mushroom Sauce
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/8 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided use
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 ounces each), all visible fat discarded
-
2 teaspoons canola or corn oil and 2 teaspoons canola or corn oil, divided use
-
10 ounces baby bella mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
-
2 Portobello mushroom caps, stems discarded and dark gills scraped away, halved, and thinly sliced vertically (about 4 cups)
-
8 ounces button mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1/4 cup water
-
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
-
Sautéed Greens
-
2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
-
5 ounces baby kale
-
10 ounces baby spinach
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1/8 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped
Directions:
-
Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper over the chicken. In a large nonstick skillet or large Dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes, or until both sides are golden, turning over once halfway through. (The chicken won't be done at this point.) Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm. Set aside.
-
In the same skillet, still over medium-high heat, heat 2 teaspoons oil, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook all of the mushrooms until softened, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon pepper, thyme, and water. Return the chicken to the pan. Increase the heat to high. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, covered, for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
-
Meanwhile, in a second large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the kale for 2 to 3 minutes, or until wilted, stirring constantly. Stir in the spinach and garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted, stirring constantly. Stir in the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and pecans. Remove from the heat. Drizzle the vinegar over the greens. Transfer the greens to a platter. Top with the cooked chicken.
-
Once the chicken has been transferred out of the skillet and onto the greens, increase the heat to high. Stir the flour into the mushroom mixture. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the liquid thickens slightly, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the sour cream until it dissolves. Pour the mushroom sauce over the chicken.
