Recipe Tips
If you’re in the mood for something different, replace the chicken in this recipe with cooked, chopped sausage, leftover roast beef or shrimp.
Add a hit of bright flavor by adding in 1 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest along with the rice.
If you have fresh green beans on hand, use them instead of frozen ones. Simply add them to the skillet along with the mushrooms in Step 1.
