DiningBuzz! - Recipe Idea

This from my mom - worked really well tonight for dinner. It's sort of like lasagna without the pasta.

Slice chicken breasts into medallions. Put some butter and olive oil in a big pan and saute some garlic and onion in it. Add the chicken and saute until it's almost cooked.

Put chicken/onion/garlic into a baking pan. (I used a glass 9x13 dish) Add some sliced mushrooms (I used baby bella/creminis). Pour a jar of pasta sauce in. Top with fresh spinach and slices of fresh mozzarella. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 mins or until liquid is gone (this is why it's good to use a glass pan - you can see how much liquid is left. Although I just poured out excess liquid after 25 mins).

Turn off the oven. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and put back in until parmesan melts, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Yum!

What are your ideas?

Looks pretty good. Saved in my recipe book. I might even try to make this on sunday

Sounds really nice, although without pasta I would need some garlic bread with that!^

It does sound very yummy, but I agree that it needs garlic bread. I may try it on Sunday, and make homemade garlic bread from scratch. :)

Funny you all mention garlic bread...quite independently, I roasted some garlic bulbs and served them as a side with some crusty Italian bread. :)

I didn't try it that Sunday, but I am going to try it tonight, in part because it won't take too long, which is one of my requirements for weekday cooking. :)

Sounds good. I don't think I could resist serving it over pasta...

I put some variations on your recipe. Instead of parmesan, I use mozzarella cheese to make it more gummy.

Tried this, but with penne and using olive oil/saute liquid as sauce (Mr. Kipper's idea). Needed more garlic, but that's the only change. :)
