Chicken Portobello with Red Potatoes

I (Christy) was inspired this last week to try something new from my favorite cooking magazine (Simple & Delicious).  With a total prep time of 35 minutes, this one was a real winner!  

Chicken Portobello with Red Potatoes


  • 1-1/2 pounds red potatoes, cubed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons rubbed sage, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
  • 3/4 pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened, divided
  • 1-1/4 cups chicken broth, divided

  • Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water.  Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sage, thyme and pepper. Add chicken, one piece at a time, and shake to coat. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reaches 170°. Remove and keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, saute mushrooms until tender. Reduce heat; add 6 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup broth and remaining salt and sage. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Drain potatoes; mash with remaining cream cheese and broth. Serve with chicken and sauce mixture. Yield: 4 servings.
