One Pan Chicken, Mushroom & Greens
One Pan Chicken, Mushroom & Greens
This is the ultimate quick, healthy dinner and uses only one pan. With under 10 ingredients, it can be made quickly when you’re really short on time. This is the perfect dish for me after I have given my two girls a separate dinner, as I can’t be bothered making something that is too complicated or that will turn my kitchen into a bombsite. Although it’s a flash in a pan, it still has delicious flavours. Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts about 175 g each
- 1 1/2 cups button mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 bunch silverbeet or kale or spinach, torn
- 1 bunch asparagus or broccolini, cut in half
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1/2 bunch lemon thyme leaves picked
- 1 lemon juice squeezed
- sea salt & cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the chicken breasts. Cook on each side for about 3–4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan if needed, along with the mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms until browned, about 3 minutes. At this point, add the silverbeet and asparagus. Sauté for about 2 minutes on high. Then add the garlic and thyme and mix everything together. Stir through the lemon juice.
- To serve: Place the cooked chicken breasts onto the greens and top with the mushrooms. Season well with salt and pepper.
