Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch, divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic-herb seasoning blend
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2-1/2 pounds sliced fresh mushrooms

Has a very good taste & chicken was moist. I used canned mushrooms because that was what I had on hand, also didn't drain to make up for the juice I would have gotten from the fresh.
