Clubhouse Chicken
A hearty chicken dish featuring stewed tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, and green peppers, perfect for a flavorful family dinner with Italian-inspired seasonings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the chicken breasts on both sides in canola oil.
- Stir in the stewed tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, julienned green pepper, chopped onion, water, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the juices from the chicken run clear.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in Italian dressing for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have canola oil, olive oil works well too. Substitute fresh mushrooms with canned if necessary, or use bell peppers of different colors for added sweetness. For a heartier meal, add cooked pasta, which pairs beautifully with the sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the clubhouse chicken over a bed of hot cooked rice for a comforting meal. It also goes well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. For an Italian twist, consider pairing it with garlic bread or a side of Baked Ziti With Ricotta And Sausage to create a delightful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a microwave-safe dish and cover with a damp paper towel to retain moisture, heating in 30-second intervals until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to keep it from drying out.
