The ingredients needed to make Pan Seared Chicken with Mushroom & Herb Sauce:

1. Prepare 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2. Prepare 8 oz Package of Mushrooms (I used White Button)
3. Get 1 Small Yellow Onion Diced
4. Prepare 3 Garlic Cloves Minced
5. Make ready 2 Cups Chicken Broth (Low Sodium preferably)
6. Make ready 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
7. Take 1 Tbsp Fresh Thyme Leaves Chopped
8. Prepare 1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley Chopped
9. Make ready 1 Tbsp Butter
10. Make ready to Taste Salt & Pepper

Steps to make Pan Seared Chicken with Mushroom & Herb Sauce:

1. Start by prepping all your ingredients and heating a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Salt and Pepper your chicken on both sides.
3. Once pan is hot add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Give the pan a swirl to coat and then add your chicken.
4. Sear chicken on both sides until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side.) Don't worry if your chicken isn't cooked all the way. It's going to finish cooking in the sauce later. Once brown on both sides remove chicken from pan and set aside.
5. Turn heat down to medium low.
6. Next add the tablespoon of butter along with the onions. With a wooden spatula stir and scrape the brown bit from bottom of pan. Let this cook down until the onions are soft and just starting to turn golden. Stir in the garlic and let this cook for just another minute or two.
7. Once the garlic starts to soften then stir in your mushrooms and herbs. Then add the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
8. Place your chicken back in pan and cook at a simmer for about 30 minutes partially covered. Sauce should reduce and chicken should be cooked through. *NOTE Chicken is done at 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. I served this up with a simple side of roasted asparagus.
10. Any leftovers make for a great chicken and rice dish (I'll be sharing that later on.)

Turn to Food to Elevate Your Mood

Mostly, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and should be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is candy or another junk food, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely nourishing and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that really can boost your moods when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.

Eggs, you might be astonished to find out, are wonderful at combating depression. Just see to it that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. Whenever you want to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you boost your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat an egg and cheer up!

Put together a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to boost your mood. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is called the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The more of it in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a fantastic source of protein.

Cold water fish are great if you want to feel happier. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3s. These are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you battle your depression.

Some grains are really excellent for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are terrific at helping you be happier. They help you feel full as well which can really help to improve your mood. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest and process. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.

Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You were sure green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while at the same loosening up the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not hard to be healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know that applies to your mood as well!

See, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try a couple of of these suggestions instead.
