Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms

Today was bright and sunny, beautiful, really.  But for some reason I was in the mood for comfort food.  I had some chicken tenders and mushrooms in the fridge, so here's what I did with it:

Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms















Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds of chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • a couple tablespoons of olive oil
  • Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt
  • Tastefully Simple Onion Onion
  • Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic
  • 1 pound small whole crimini mushrooms
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can (12 oz.) evaporated skim milk
  • 2 heaping tablespoons of whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
Directions:
  • Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces.   In a large skillet, brown the chicken in a little bit of olive oil, some TSSS, TSOO and TSGG.  Add in the mushrooms and stir for a minute.  Add in the chicken broth and bring to a boil, scraping up all the brown bits.  Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes (stirring occasionally) until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms soften.
  • In a separate bowl or cup, whisk the flour into the evaporated skim milk until smooth.  Add to the chicken skillet.  Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer.  Add in the peas and simmer for 5 minutes.  Check seasoning and add more TSSS if necessary.
  • Serve over brown rice.
