Romano cheese, sliced vegetables and pine nuts jazz up this Italian sauteed chicken. It’s easy, and my whole family loves it. —Barbara Lento, Houston, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 pound small fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
  • 2 teaspoons shredded Romano cheese
  • Optional: Penne pasta and fresh basil

Directions

  1. Flatten chicken slightly; sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook chicken in butter and oil over medium heat until no longer pink, 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm.
  2. In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms, onion, red pepper and pine nuts until vegetables are tender. Add spinach; cook and stir until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Stir in flour. Gradually stir in broth and mustard. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir until thickened, 2 minutes.
  3. Return chicken to the pan; heat through. Sprinkle with cheese. If desired, served with pasta and top with basil.
