EASY CREAMY CHICKEN TENDERS WITH RICH SAUCE
Saturday, I wanted to make something for dinner that wasn't time consuming and was easy. I wanted to "play" in the yard -enjoying myself among the plants and flowers. I had the main ingredient -chicken. So, I ran into the store and quickly got the few things I didn't have. Then I joined the birds (including a precious...

Steps:
- 1. Heat enough olive oil (approx. 2 T.) to coat your sauté pan, add the chopped onion, and cook until tender and translucent;
- 2. add the chicken tenders and sear; remove chicken from pan and add the white wine (or chicken broth) to deglaze the pan. let reduce by 1/4 (approximately 3 minutes on med/high heat).
- 3. Add the tomatoes and let cook until the tomatoes soften. Then add the heavy cream (or milk), worcestershire sauce and 1/2 half of the basil leaves that have been cut (or 1/2 of the dried basil leaves).
- 4. Add the chicken tenders back to the sauce and let cook for approximately 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens a little. Before serving add the rest of the basil chiffonade (or dried basil).
- 5. NOTE 1: You can increase the amount of sauce by increasing the wine (or broth) and cream (or milk); just taste to see if it needs more salt, pepper and/or basil and worcestershire sauce. ALSO, if you would like a thinner sauce with fewer calories, you can omit the cream/milk and increase the wine/broth to 1/2 cup. This will change the taste and creaminess -but will still be good.
- 6. NOTE 2: ** I have included alternatives to the listed ingredients in case you can't use or don't have some of the ingredients (wine, fresh veggies, etc.). Just be aware if you use the alternative ingredients, it will not be the same recipe or taste the same as my original dish -but will still be as good.
- 7. ENJOY!!

Steps:
- Mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle on both sides of chicken tenders.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken tenders and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and loosely tent with foil.
- Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the skillet. Add mushrooms and onion and cook until mushrooms start to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Whisk together half-and-half, chicken broth, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons dill, and cornstarch in a medium bowl; add to the skillet. Stir until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes, and season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to low, add chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon dill on top of the chicken, and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken with seasoning salt and garlic powder, and set aside.
- In a microwaveable bowl, mix cream cheese, milk, garlic powder and pepper.
- Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, checking and stirring until cream cheese is melted.
- Heat olive oil in a saute pan.
- Add chicken to pan and saute at medium heat adding small amounts of water to pan, as needed, so that chicken doesn't get too dry or stick to pan. The chicken will release juices that blend with the water.
- When chicken is cooked through, but there is still some of this "juicy water" in the pan, add the sauce to the pan and cook until heated through.
- Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and arrange on a bed of white rice.
- Spoon or pour sauce over the chicken and then sprinkle with parsley or chives.
- NOTE: I usually serve this dish with a side of steamed broccoli drizzled in heated olive oil (I season the heated olive oil with lime juice and garlic powder). YUMMY!
