Go To Chicken

We all have "go to" meals, right?  Those "I'm too fried to even think about food or a meal or anything so I'll grab whatever we have on hand and make something that I know how to do with little to no thinking involved" dishes we can whip up pretty much on demand.

Here's one of ours.  A recipe that we've been enjoying for years...yet it still ranks up there as a fan favorite.

Chicken With Cheese and Mushrooms (not the most inventive name, but....)

4-6 thinly sliced chicken breasts
1/2 cup of flour
Butter/Olive oil
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1tsp garlic
4-6 slices of provolone or mozzarella cheese

Lightly dredge the chicken in flour
Add a dot of butter and some olive oil to a non-stick pan
Brown in a pan over medium high heat until pretty much done
Remove chicken and place it on a baking sheet
Saute mushrooms in the same pan with a little garlic
When the mushrooms are tender, place a scoop onto each chicken breast
Cover with a slice of cheese
Place in the broiler for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted and beginning to brown


Serve with wild rice, green beans and your sanity which has been
nicely preserved thanks to this "save" you put on the table.
