Low-carb, healthy chicken with artichoke hearts, tomatoes and mushrooms.

Suggestions:

Note: This dish does not work well cooked in a microwave.

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 skinless organic chicken breasts

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 small sweet onion, chopped

1 Tbsp butter

1 dash each of salt and pepper, or Maggi Seasoning

8 oz shitake mushrooms, cut into pieces

1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered (unmarinated)

1 cup canned diced tomatoes with liquid

1/2 cup grated reduced-fat Italian Blend cheese (such as Sargento Reduced-Fat 4 Cheese Italian)

Directions:

Add olive oil to large frying skillet. Brown chicken breasts until golden brown. Add garlic, onion, butter, and seasonings. Stir and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, until onion and garlic are tender.

Add shitake mushrooms and artichoke hearts. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes.

Sprinkle cheese covering all ingredients. Cook 5 minutes, then turn heat off, cover, and let stand a few minutes to let cheese melt. Serve.

Variations:

If desired, replace artichoke hearts with asparagus.

Salt and pepper, or the Maggi Seasoning can be replaced with other seasonings, such as a combination of Costco's Roasted Garlic Mediterranean Sea Salt Grinder and Lawry's Seasoned Pepper.
