Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Cream Sauce Food Recipe

The secret to a good cream sauce is always the same: not too much cream or it can be overpowering, masking the more delicate flavors. Here it contains a bountiful amount of mushrooms and is served over chicken breasts.

Makes: 2 servings
Active Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes








Chicken Breasts with Mushroom INGREDIENTS:

  1. 2 5-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and tenders removed (see Tip)
  2. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  3. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  4. 1 tablespoon canola oil
  5. 1 medium shallot, minced
  6. 1 cup thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps
  7. 2 tablespoons dry vermouth, or dry white wine
  8. 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  9. 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  10. 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, or scallion greens


Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Preparation:

Season chicken with pepper and salt on both sides.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once or twice and adjusting the heat to prevent burning, until brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 12 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Add shallot to the pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2 minutes. Pour in vermouth (or wine); simmer until almost evaporated, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute. Pour in broth and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cream and chives (or scallions); return to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan, turn to coat with sauce and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.

TIPS  NOTES:

Tip: It's difficult to find an individual chicken breast small enough for one portion. Removing the thin strip of meat from the underside of a 5-ounce breast—the “tender”—removes about 1 ounce of meat and yields a perfect 4-ounce portion. Wrap and freeze the tenders and when you have gathered enough, use them in a stir-fry or for oven-baked chicken fingers.

Tijuana Torta Healthy Recipe PREPARATION:

Mash beans, salsa, jalapeño and cumin in a small bowl. Mash avocado, onion and lime juice in another small bowl.

Lots of colorful vegetables and salsa make this cheesy panini prettier than any grilled cheese you've ever seen. The small amount of Cheddar cheese in this sandwich goes a long way because it is shredded and sharp. Serve with a mixed salad and you've got a delightful lunch or light supper. If you happen to have a panini maker, go ahead and skip Step 3 and grill the panini according to the manufacturer's directions.





INGREDIENTS Southwestern Cheese Panini Healthy Sandwich:

  2. 1 cup shredded zucchini
  3. 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  4. 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

Cook the panini until golden on one side, about 2 minutes.

Blackened Salmon Healthy Sandwich Recipe

Makes: 4 servings
Active Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Blackened salmon is great in a sandwich with a spread of mashed avocado and low-fat mayonnaise plus peppery arugula leaves, cool tomato slices and zesty red onion. We grill our Cajun-style salmon so there is no need for any added cooking oil. Catfish makes an excellent stand-in for the salmon but you'll want to use a grill basket if you have one to keep the fish from breaking apart.






Blackened Salmon Healthy Sandwich INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound wild salmon fillet, (see Ingredient Note), skinned (see Tip) and cut into 4 portions
  • 2 teaspoons blackening or Cajun seasoning
  • 1 small avocado, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
  • 4 crusty whole-wheat rolls, split and toasted
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

Blackened Salmon Healthy Sandwich PREPARATION:

Oil grill rack (see Tip); preheat grill to high.
Rub salmon on both sides with blackening (or Cajun) seasoning. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Mash avocado and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
To assemble sandwiches, spread some of the avocado mixture on each roll and top with salmon, arugula, tomato and onion.

TIPS And NOTES


Ingredient note: Wild-caught salmon from the Pacific (Alaska, California, Washington and Oregon) is considered the best choice for the environment. For more information, visit Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch (mbayaq.org/cr/seafoodwatch.asp).
Tips: To skin a salmon fillet, place salmon on a clean cutting board, skin side down. Starting at the tail end, slip the blade of a long, sharp knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding the skin down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.
To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.

Bistro Flank Steak Healthy Sandwich Recipe

Makes: 4 sandwiches
Active Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Make this bistro-style sandwich, sauce and all, completely on the grill. If you're in a hurry, just grill the steak and garlic and substitute jarred roasted red peppers for the grilled bell peppers. Make it a meal: Serve with Oven “Fries” and a glass of lemonade.








Bistro Flank Steak Healthy Sandwich INGREDIENTS:

  • 6 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 pound flank steak, trimmed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper
  • 4 large slices whole-wheat country bread, cut in half, or 8 small slices
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 cup mixed salad greens

Bistro Flank Steak Healthy Sandwich PREPARATION:

Preheat grill to medium-high.
Place garlic in the center of a piece of foil and drizzle with oil. Gather the foil together at the top to form a sealed packet. Sprinkle both sides of steak with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Place the garlic packet over indirect heat or the coolest part of the grill. Place the steak and bell peppers over direct heat or the hottest part of the grill. Cook the garlic until soft and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cook the peppers, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Cook the steak, turning once, until desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the garlic packet, peppers and steak to a clean platter. Tent the steak with foil to keep warm.
Grill bread, turning once, until toasted, about 1 minute per side.
When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel and discard the stems, seeds and ribs. Slice into wide strips and toss with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Peel the garlic and place it and the oil from the packet in another small bowl. Add mayonnaise and mash with a fork until combined. Slice the steak very thinly.
To assemble sandwiches, spread 1 scant teaspoon of the roasted garlic aïoli on each piece of bread. Divide greens, the sliced steak and grilled peppers among 4 slices of bread; top with the remaining bread.
