Good Earth Herb Crusted Chicken w/ Mushroom Risotto

Dinner Tonight: Good Earth Herb Crusted Chicken w/ Mushroom Risotto and Whole Grain Bread.


I hadn't had this in a while so I thought it was time, Good Earth Herb Crusted Chicken w/ Mushroom Risotto. All the Good earth Products are delicious! Easy to make, low calorie, and low carb these are great! I also like their Shrimp and Pasta Dinner. I used Miller's Amish Chicken Breasts for the Chicken. Makes a good healthy and hearty meal! I left the directions and nutrition info at the end of the post. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.


YOU WILL NEED
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil for Risotto
1 3/4 Cups Water • 1/2 Cup Milk
1 Lb Uncooked Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil for Chicken

READY IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES!
RISOTTO
1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add Rice; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in water, milk, Wine Sauce and Risotto Seasoning. Heat just to boiling. Reduce heat. Cover; simmer 20 minutes without stirring. Uncover; simmer about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until most of liquid is absorbed.
While risotto is cooking, continue with step 2.

CHICKEN
2. Cut each chicken breast into 3 or 4 slices, holding knife at an angle. Empty Seasoned Panko Crumbs into medium bowl or food-storage plastic bag. Coat chicken with crumbs.

3. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in 10-inch nonstick* skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add chicken to hot oil; cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until deep golden brown and centers are no longer pink.

SERVE
4. Remove risotto from heat. Let stand uncovered until ready to serve (sauce will thicken as it stands). Serve chicken with risotto. Refrigerate leftovers.

*If using skillet without nonstick finish, increase oil to 3 tablespoons.
