This was tonight's dinner. Altho' it wasn't supposed
to be hot, I DID add a bit of heat, mild but a little.

Original recipe called for other spices that I wasn't
too fond of. Decided to use one of the seasoning mixes
I brought home from FL - Konriko Jalapeno All-Purpose
Seasoning.

So, the chicken was dredged in the Konriko and flour
and then sauteed until browned. Then I made the sauce.
It was really delicious with a tiny bit of heat. Of
course, for those who don't like mild, you could use
some other chile powder with the flour and go from
there.

                        Chicken:
     1/3  cup           unbleached all-purpose flour
   2      tsp           Konriko Jalapeno All-Purpose
Seasoning
   4                    boneless skinless chicken
breast halves -- washed & dried
                        Sauce:
   2      tbsp          unsalted butter
   1      lb            shiitake mushrooms -- thinly
sliced**
   1      sm            onion -- chopped
     1/2  cup           light cream
     1/2  cup           1% low-fat milk
     1/2  cup           chicken broth

In a small bowl, mix together the flour and the
Jalapeno seasoning. Set aside 1 tbsp of the flour
mixture for later.

In a ziploc-type bag, place chicken and the rest of
the flour mixture. Zip top and shake well to coat all
chicken breast halves.

Melt butter in heavy skillet (cast iron preferred).
Add oil. Place over medium-high heat. Add chicken and
cook for 4 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer chicken to a plate when browned.

Add mushrooms, onion and salt and pepper to skillet.
Saute until mushrooms are browned. This should take
about 5 minutes. Mix in the reserved flour mixture;
cook for another minute. Add cream, milk and broth to
skillet. Also include any accumulated juices from the
chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer chicken,
uncovered, for 5 minutes, until chicken is cooked
through and sauce is thicker. Season with salt and
pepper.

Serve with rice pilaf or mashed potatoes.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* Make sure to remove the stem from each shiitake
mushroom and discard.
