  • Carb Grams Per Serving: 17

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 shiitake mushroom caps, thinly sliced
  • 1 4-inch piece of leek, white part only, thinly sliced and rinsed clean of grit
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 5 ounces each)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

  3. With a paring knife, cut a small pocket in the top edge of one side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through the breast.

  5. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides.
  6. Transfer pan to oven and roast 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve with remaining mushroom-leek mixture.
