This recipe is for a fast, very easy, flavorful chicken main dish with either no sodium Mexican seasoning or no sodium Italian seasoning. The Mexican version works well with our no-sodium Taco Seasoning recipe.
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
- ½ cup water
- ¼ tsp no-sodium Taco Seasoning Mix (see recipe), no-sodium Mexican Seasoning, or no-sodium Italian Seasoning
- ½ tsp dried chopped basil
- ¾ lb chicken fingers or boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
- In a large, non-stick skillet, heat olive oil to medium high. Saute onion until it begins to get soft, 3-4 minutes.
- Add garlic and sauté another minute.
- Add mushroom slices and sauté another 3 minutes or so.
- Add tomatoes, water, no-sodium seasoning mix, and basil. Stir well and bring to a boil.
- Move the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Then place the chicken pieces in the skillet without overlapping. Spoon the vegetables on top of the chicken. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes on medium until the chicken is cooked through.
The sodium estimates assume that the recipe was prepared using fresh chicken with only 3% sodium per serving instead of chicken that has been infused with a high-sodium broth.
Note that sodium percentages depend on which daily reference you use. The estimated 65 mg of sodium per serving implies that one serving of this recipe provides:
– 3% of the U.S. FDA daily reference value for sodium for a 2,000-calorie diet that includes 2,400 mg sodium, or
– 4% of the American Heart Association recommendation of 1,500 mg sodium per day, or
– 6% of the Ménière’s diet recommendation of 1,000 mg sodium per day.
