Chicken Strips with Tomatoes and Mushrooms


The caterers gave us the food that was not used from our daughter's weddings.  There were several trays and we gave most of them to a fund that is raising money to help those who were badly harmed from Sandy.  In our area, there are still many who have not been able to return to their homes.Others are living in homes that are not complete and are being worked on.

 We did keep a tray of salmon and a try of chicken strips.  I used some of the strips to make the following recipe.  Of course, there was no need to cook the chicken, just to heat it with the other ingredients.

Chicken with Grape Tomatoes and Mushrooms (adapted from Campbells)
Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips
1 package (8 ounces) sliced fresh mushrooms (about 2 1/4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 pint grape tomatoes (about 2 1/2 cups) 
1 onion cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 cup  organic vegetable or chicken broth
Method:
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until well browned, stirring often. Remove the chicken from the skillet.   (I browned the grilled chicken pieces.)
Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.
 
Add the garlic, tomatoes, and onions to the skillet; cook and stir for 1 minute. Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir in the soup and cook for a few more minutes.

    It's so sad that Sandy caused so much damage!

    Your chicken strips with tomatoes and mushrooms is a delicious way to use up leftover chicken. There are so many different ways you could serve this too - I'm thinking about using it in a pasta dish!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
