Chicken with Mushrooms and Green Onions

The thing about trying to eat healthy is that you tend to eat a lot of the same things, like chicken. And let's be honest, a boneless, skinless chicken breast can get boring FAST if you don't have good ways to prepare it. I was really happy with this recipe. It was like chicken Parmesan, with a twist (and minus the Parmesan!). I think the best part about it (besides the Italian breading) is that the base of the sauce is made with tomato paste, which is such a concentrated and rich flavor. I love it. I'm going to post the recipe as I found it, but I will tell you that when I make this again, I will probably cut the chicken broth down to one cup instead of two. It was still very good, but I would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker, and I didn't have the time to let it reduce like I wanted. Definitely try this one though, it's very yummy.
