Country Garden Chicken With Cheesy Grits image

This came from a Publix recipe and we loved it so much that I'm posting it here for easy reference! I personally used some white sawmill country gravy mix I had on hand and Shake'n Bake chicken flavored breading. I highly recommend McCormick's "Vegetable Supreme" seasoning as the blend used. You can cut the carbs by about 50% in the chicken recipe by pan-frying the chicken without the breading. SUGGESTED ITEMS TO SERVE WITH: apple pie, cornbread, okra. COOKING SEQUENCE: Bread chicken and begin to cook - 10 minutes. While chicken cooks, prepare grits, complete chicken and serve - 15 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cutlets
1 2/3 cups water, divided
1/2 cup chicken coating mix
1/4 cup pre-diced fresh tomato
1/4 cup pre-diced green pepper
1/4 cup pre-diced red onion
2 teaspoons vegetable seasoning, blend

Stir in gravy mix and gradually add remaining 1 1/2 cups water, stirring continually, until sauce is smooth. Reduce heat to low and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring often, to heat thoroughly. Serve sauce over chicken.
