Garlic Mushroom Chicken
This blog is sponsored by Mazola® Corn Oil
As you all know I have been working with Mazola® Corn Oil for almost a year now and I have had so much fun cooking and eating all the delicious food I've made. Which is a testament to how easy it is to cook with Mazola ® Corn Oil because y'all know I do not like cooking. I am a big fan of anything that can be made in under 30 mins and that can be versatile. Today, I give you all this delicious creation. I absolutely love mushrooms and growing up we did not really have much of them. I had this chicken three different ways, with rice, with potatoes, and with mushroom raviolis.
I wanted to try this out and even my mom approved. We get shamed because we “fry” our dishes and because people think there aren’t enough veggies. Including heart-healthy* Mazola ® Corn Oil in your favorite recipes is an easy way of making any dish delicious. Because of its high smoke point of 450 degrees, you don't have to worry about it decomposing and evaporating, and you don't have to use a lot of it. A small amount goes a long way! And not to mention this dish is loaded with nutrition (like many of our dishes). Bell peppers, mushrooms, white and green onions, all add to the dish with vitamins and minerals but also color and flavor.
This dish is a complete meal which again many of us don't realize, it's got the protein, the veggies and we can add a carb three ways. When you think of positive nutrition, think whether or not your dish has these three components, if it doesn't ( add what's missing) BUT add something that actually will elevate your dish and goes with it. Don’t add kale just for the sake of it!
