Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons, divided
2 (8 ounce) packages sliced fresh button mushrooms
1 cup chopped yellow onion
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups whole milk
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (8.8 ounce) pouch precooked microwaveable whole-grain brown rice or 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
¼ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook, stirring often, until the moisture released from the vegetables evaporates and the mushrooms are lightly browned, 9 to 10 minutes. Stir in flour; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually add milk; cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in tarragon, salt and 1/4 cup Parmesan until melted. Stir in asparagus, rice and chicken. Remove from heat.
  • Toss panko with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and 1/4 cup Parmesan in a small bowl; sprinkle over the chicken mixture. Bake until the mixture is bubbly and the topping is golden, about 15 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 39m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh white mushrooms
1 cup fresh or frozen chopped onion (about 1 medium-large yellow onion)
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (10-ounce) package carved, fully cooked chicken breast
1 (10-ounce) package prepared alfredo sauce (from the refrigerator counter; use light or reduced-fat, if you like)
1/4 cup dry Marsala, Sherry, or white wine
1 (9-ounce) package frozen asparagus cuts (do not thaw but do separate into individual pieces)
3 cups Al Dente Make-Ahead Rice, reheated, recipe follows
2 quarts water
4 cups uncooked converted white rice (no substitute)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large, heavy skillet over moderate heat 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, marjoram, thyme, and pepper and cook, stirring often, until the juice released from the mushrooms evaporates, about 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken, alfredo sauce, and wine; adjust heat so mixture bubbles gently, then cook, stirring frequently and breaking up chicken, until steaming, about 3 minutes.
  • Add asparagus, distributing evenly over surface of mixture, cover and cook just until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes; no longer or asparagus will become mushy.
  • Make a bed of rice on heated deep platter, spoon chicken mixture on top, and serve.
  • Bring water to rapid boil in large (at least 4 1/2-quart), heavy saucepan over high heat.
  • Add rice, stir well, and then return to rapid boil. Adjust heat so water stays at gentle but steady ripple and cook uncovered until all water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Do not stir.
  • Fluff rice gently with fork and cool 1 hour. Do not cover.
  • Fluff rice gently again, then spoon lightly, do not pack, into plastic storage containers, snap on lids, label, and date. Set in refrigerator or freezer.
  • To reheat refrigerated or frozen rice, pile rice in large fine sieve, fork lightly apart and balance sieve in top of large, heavy saucepan over 2-inches boiling water. Cover loosely with lid or foil and steam until just heated through, 3 to 5 minutes, but times will vary according to amount of rice being reheated and whether it's refrigerated or frozen. Fluff with fork and serve.
  • Yield: 16 cups

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Choose the right pan: For this recipe, you'll need a large skillet that is oven-safe. A cast iron skillet is a great option, but any large skillet will do.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of sear. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This chicken asparagus and mushroom skillet is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. Serve it over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
