One of my favorite Pampered Chef products is their Egg Slicer Plus, but not just because it slices eggs.

I love it for slicing strawberries! It can power through a quart of strawberries in minutes for yummy strawberry shortcake.  In fact paired with the Core and More to remove the strawberry stems, and it’s even faster!  But in the wintertime, I still get plenty of use of it slicing mushrooms.

I was never a huge fan of mushrooms until I started cooking with fresh mushrooms, especially portabello mushrooms.

This is one of my favorite mushroom recipes:

Balsamic Chicken and Mushrooms

• 2 Tbs olive oil
• ¼ C balsamic vinegar
• 1 Tbs Dijon mustard
• 1 Tbs minced garlic
• 3 boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
• 8 oz mushrooms freshly sliced
• ½ C chicken broth
• ¼ tsp dried thyme
• (Prepared rice, enough for family)

Mix vinegar, mustard, & garlic. Coat chicken with mixture. (Let marinade if you have time.) In a large sauce pan, sauté chicken in olive oil over med heat until done. Remove chicken; keep warm. Sauté mushrooms in same pan for 2 min. Add broth & thyme, scraping bottom of pan; cook mushrooms until browned.   Place chicken on steamed rice. Pour mushroom sauce over chicken.

The Egg Slicer Plus would make a great stocking stuffer or gift for yourself! And a portion of the proceeds helps with our adoption expenses! Thanks for participating in our online Pampered Chef Party!
