Ultimate All in One Chicken Dinner Recipe

Directions

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Melt the margarine in the skillet. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, celery, and mushrooms, and cook until tender. Set vegetables aside, and cook the chicken breasts in the skillet 10 minutes on each side, until juices run clear.
Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet. Mix in the potatoes and green beans. Pour in the chicken broth. Season with salt, thyme, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and most of the liquid has been reduced. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

"I believe if you are going to rate a recipe you need to make THE recipe. That said I made this exactly as stated with the exception of the mushrooms (alergic). It was fairly to very good as written...." See more However, the next time I make it I would change the following: probably 1/2 of the cayenne pepper as it was pretty spicy. Since the spices go in last the vegetables were highly seasoned and the chicken was just plain chicken so I will try rubbing the spices on the chicken before browning to spice it up a bit and tone down the veggies at the same time. Finally, it may just be the temp. I cooked at but there was LOTS of liquid left when everything else was cooked so I will try cutting the amount in 1/2 and see how that works. All in all a great recipe that just needs tweaked slightly."

"I wouldn't call it the ultimate, but I do appreicate the recipe. I made a few adjustments after reading the reviews and it came out perfect for me. I chopped the chicken and brown and I also sauteed..." See more the vegetables and took it off the heat. I brought my potatoes to a boil in beef broth(the recommended amount). When it started to boil, I added all the seasonings and let it boil for 10 minutes uncovered). Then I added the chicken and the veggies stirred, brought to a boil, then covered and simmered for 20 minutes. This should work. It was like stew instead of watery. Since the liquid had a chance to evaporate when boiling the potatoes. I hope that this helps."
