    cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1
    medium red or green sweet pepper, cut into 3/4-inch squares
  • 1
    clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2
    cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

Directions

1. Chicken: Lightly coat an unheated large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 3 to 5 minutes or until browned, turning once. Remove chicken from skillet.

Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Transfer chicken to a platter; keep warm.

Absolutely Loved this recipe! I recommend to double the recipe for the mushroom sauce, after my husband and brother ate one plate, there was hardly any sauce left. I also 1 tablespoon of sugar in the rice. It turned out amazing! I honestly believe this is the best thing that I have ever eaten! 5 stars!!!
