Chicken is a good source of protein.  Chicken has a great taste, healthy, low fat and is easy and versatile to cook with.  Try this chicken recipe with a yummy mushroom cream sauce.  Just add a little bit of cream to masking the delicate flavors of the chicken.

Ingredients:

2 5-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts (trimmed and tenders removed), 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon canola oil, 1 medium shallot (minced), 1 cup thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps, 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives or scallion greens

Procedure:

1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

2.  Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.  Cook the chicken, turning once, for 12 to 16 minutes until brown on both sides.  Remove the chicken from the pan.

3. On the same pan, add the shallots and cook for 30 seconds.  Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes until tender.  Pour in the vermouth or white wine for 1 minute (scrape up any browned bits). Pour in broth and cook until half reduced for 1 to 2 minutes.  Stir in cream and chives and simmer.  Return the chicken to the pan and cook for another minute.
