Trader Joe's Thursdays

If you haven't guessed by now, I prefer to cook with as few ingredients as possible. Not only is it easier, I think it tastes fresher too. Also, I never salt my food-there is so much salt in everything else, we don't need it!
This is a quick and easy dinner that tastes great. Hope you like it!

Mushroom Chicken

2 packages sliced mushrooms
1 chopped sweet onion
4 frozen garlic cubes-in the freezer section. If you don't know about these yet, buy 5 today!
3 chicken breasts, sliced in half to make thinner
butter
olive oil
red wine


~Sautee the mushrooms and onions in butter and garlic cubes (use as little as possible if watching your weight but use no more than 3 TBSP. otherwise) until onion is translucent and shrooms are done. Transfer to another dish. Heat TBSP. ish of olive oil in the same pan and cook the chicken until done, constantly turning until brown on both sides. Pour mushroom mix on top, add a splash of wine and let heat through-about 1 minute.


Serve with brown rice (or a flavored rice mix) and steamed broccoli. If you want to add more flavor (and fat though) put a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken piece and then add the mushrooms.
