This breakfast came together because i happened to have all the ingredients in my fridge.
1. Mushrooms – check
2. Chicken Breast – check
3. Cream – check
Put everything together and we had this chicken breast with creamy mushroom sauce. And of course, the peas and carrots.
And for carbs, i dipped a baguette in an egg and milk mixture, just like how you would to a french toast.But instead of sugar, i gave it a savoury twist by adding salt into the dip.
But i guess i could have done better with that toast. Since we had leftover creamy mushroom sauce anyways. It seemed obvious.
to have mushroom crostinis!

Taken from My Recipes
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves $
- 2 teaspoons canola oil $
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided $
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper $
- 1/4 cup chopped shallots
- 1 (8-ounce) package presliced mushrooms

- 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour $
- 3/4 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth $

Preparation
- 1. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet.
- 2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil to pan; swirl to coat. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Transfer chicken to a serving platter; keep warm.
- 3. Add shallots and mushrooms to pan; sauté for 4 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove pan from heat; add butter and thyme, stirring until butter melts. Serve with chicken.
