Yield: 6 servings.
Ingredients: 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each); 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 2 tablespoons canola oil; 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms; 1/4 cup butter; 4-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour; 1 cup milk; 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided; Minced fresh parsley; Hot cooked pasta

I call this meal "the easy chicken fixin'"...and love it that the leftovers are equally delicious heated up in the microwave. My husband, Tim, and I spend a lot of time riding horses and playing Cowboy Polo in summer. We are extra busy now since we just had our first child, Shelby.

Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup butter
4-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
Minced fresh parsley
Hot cooked pasta

Directions

Sprinkle chicken with pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in oil until a thermometer reads 170°. Remove to a serving platter and keep warm.
In the same skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Sprinkle with flour and stir until coated. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from the heat; stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Pour over chicken. Sprinkle with parsley and remaining cheese. Serve with pasta.

Combines two of my favorites, chicken and mushrooms. So delicious!The mushrooms and Parmesan make a wonderful sauce for noodles, rice or mashed potatoes!

Served over rice Pilaf... was fantastic! I've also used the sauce as a substitute for a healthier MSG free cream of mushroom soup!
