Ingredients
200g/7oz mushrooms (any variety), sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 chicken breasts (about 300g/10½oz total weight), boneless and skinless, cut widthways into roughly 5mm/¼in slices
1 tsp paprika
15g/½oz plain flour
150ml/5fl oz hot chicken stock, made with 1 chicken stock cube
150g/5½oz cherry tomatoes, halved
100g/3½oz baby spinach leaves
100ml/3½fl oz double (heavy)cream
220g/7¾oz fine green beans, trimmed
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1½–2 packets microwave frozen cauliflower rice (or rice of your choice)
Method
1. Place the mushrooms and onion in a large, wide-based microwaveable dish or casserole. Season with black pepper and toss together. Cover the dish with a microwaveable lid or dinner plate and cook on HIGH for 4 minutes (1000W) or 5 minutes (800W), or until softened.
2. Add the garlic, chicken and paprika, season with lots of black pepper and toss well together. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 minutes (1000W) or 2 minutes 30 seconds (800W). Stir in the flour, then the stock and tomatoes. Place the spinach leaves on top. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 minutes (1000W) or 2 minutes 30 seconds (800W).
3. Stir in the cream and cook on HIGH for a further 2 minutes (1000W) or 2 minutes 30 seconds (800W), or until the sauce is hot, the chicken is completely cooked and the spinach and tomatoes are soft. (If the chicken is still a little pink, stir well, cover and cook for 1–2 minutes longer). Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.
4. While the chicken is standing, put the green beans in a shallow microwaveable bowl and pour over 3 tablespoons water. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 minutes (1000W) or 3 minutes 40 seconds (800W), or until just tender.
5. Also microwave the frozen cauliflower rice according to the packet instructions. This can usually be done the same-time as the green beans.
6. Drain the beans and serve with the chicken and cauliflower rice, or accompaniment of your choice!

Gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
Thank you so much for this delicious looking recipe, Jan. I've copied and pasted the recipe and will need to pick up a couple of ingredients when I shop later this week.
Yummy - this one is a keeper. Looks really good.
This looks and sounds delicious.
One of my favourites!
Thank you for the interesting recipe, Jan. It sounds very tasty.
I have never tried cooking this kind of dishes in the microwave. I should give it a try. :)
Happy spring days to you! xx
Another great recipe! I tried the Chicken Provencal and it was delicious. Xx
Hmmm, this sounds very yummy. As I like my chicken "cooked to death", as Ingo says, I´ll go the traditional way, though ;-) And no garlic. These neighbours of mine they killed my liking of that forever!
Hello Jan, that's a great way to cook chicken. I taste it in North Tuscany some years ago.
Have a nice day.
Looks good. I love mushrooms :-D
Looks very nice, Jan. I don't seem to cook many things in the microwave these days.
...we only use our microwave to heat things!
Looks like another delicious meal, thanks for sharing Jan!
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.

A brilliantly efficient one-dish meal
This looks very tasty. I love how it seems to have lots of "gravy/sauce" and the rice you included on the side would be great with that. :)
Quick and tasty - what could be better?
Boa tarde Jan. Parece uma receita deliciosa. Gosto muito de cogumelos, tem bastante tempo que não como. Uma excelente tarde de quarta-feira. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro.
Yum, I love mushrooms. :-)
Yummy
One of my favorites but have never seen this version. This looks great (and a lot quicker than an hour in the oven!)
I learned a new word. Doddle.
Hello Jan,
That looks delicious. A lovely meal.
That must be very tasty. Very nice and well done.
Many greetings,
Marco
I've been on a liquid diet and this is making my mouth water. Looks so good.
I like the lovely purple and yellow flowers!
Dear Jan, the presentation is gorgeous! I do love mushrooms. Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend.
I already know that my husband would love this.
Looks tasty.
Chicken is one thing I don't think I have ever cooked in the microwave, I mainly use mine for heating things up :). I use to cook our potatoes in there but we don't eat them anymore, although hubby will have a sweet potato every now and then but I don't really care for them.
So love this recipe and I know how gorgeous it tastes, I will however add the parmesan cheese xx
Looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing Jan :) all the best, Denise.
Aside from the beans, it sounds good.
Otra receta estupenda. Besos.
Looks amazing 👍
Thank you dear Jan 🙏♥️
