Hearts of Palm Creamy Mashed with Garlic Butter Chicken

Preparation

1. Open and heat the Natural Heaven Mashed Hearts of Palm pouch in the microwave for 1 minute on high power. Serve it in a bowl or directly onto your plate.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan.

3. Once hot, add the chicken strips. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Brown the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden.

4. Add the minced garlic and mix well.

5. Pour in the chicken broth (or water) and lemon juice. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid reduces slightly and the chicken is fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

7. Chef's Tip!

8. Try adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup along with chicken broth and lemon juice. This touch of sweetness will caramelize slightly, creating a beautiful glaze on your chicken and balancing the savory garlic and butter.
