I made this on the fly tonight for supper; I had chicken breasts out but didn't know what to make with them until I opened the fridge to see what else I had. Mushrooms, Spinach and left over rice. This will make something good I thought...
Chicken, Mushroom & Spinach Rice
These are approximate ingredients (I made it on the fly, remember?)
3 Chicken breasts
1 Onion
1 Shallot
1 Package mushrooms
4 Cups raw spinach
2-3 Cups rice (I used jasmine, but I think brown rice would give it a great nutty flavor.)
4 T butter
Salt
Pepper
Thyme
Cilantro
1-2 Shots Dry Sherry
Parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Cook the chicken in oil on the stove top in a large pan (enough to hold everything when it's done.) Place in a bowl, leaving juices in the pan.
2. Add the onion and shallots, cook until almost tender.
3. Add mushrooms to the onion mixture.
4. Add 4 T butter to the onion mixture and let melt.
5. Add spinach to the mixture.
6. Add dry sherry or whatever you've got on hand.
7. Cook until spinach is wilted.
8. Add rice.
9. Add cooked chicken. Heat throughouly.
Top with Parmesan cheese or whatever you've got that sounds good.
Katya (4.5) and David (3) loved it and even had seconds! I'm so happy I have kids with a sophisticated pallet. It makes my time in the kitchen so much more rewarding and tasty, too!
