I ladle this vegetable-packed chicken dish over jasmine rice. It's a long-grain rice that's not as sticky as most, but any cooked rice, including brown, works here.-Virginia Crowell, Lyons, Oregon

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 medium green peppers, chopped
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 celery ribs, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, saute the green peppers, onion, celery and garlic in 2 teaspoons oil until tender. Add mushrooms; cook until liquid has evaporated. Stir in the tomatoes, broth, oregano, lemon juice, basil and spices. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5-10 minutes or until slightly thickened and flavors are blended., Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, saute chicken in remaining oil in batches until no longer pink. Return chicken to pan; stir in sauce. Heat through, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Serve over rice; garnish with parsley if desired. Freeze option: Freeze cooled chicken and sauce mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a covered saucepan, gently stirring and adding a little broth or water if necessary.

This dish was just okay. The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste and the chicken was a bit dry.
