What’s Cookin’? Briarpatch Restaurant’s Garlic Mushroom Chicken
We had a double deluxe edition of What's Cookin' today. Our weekly cooking segment is now proudly sponsored by Briarpatch Restaurant because who knows good food better than one of Owensboro's oldest and most beloved establishments?
Our friend Mike (owner and all-around renaissance man) joined us with a recipe that isn't just mouth-watering. It's also their February special, so you can make it for yourself, or better yet, you can go in and let the pros handle things. Plus, I don't know about you, but I do not have that epic Briarpatch salad bar or that iconic Hoppin' John soup at my house.
Briarpatch
Or the big stuffed baked potato, or the bread & strawberry butter, or the cheese ball, or the fried veggies appetizer, or that magical rice pilaf...you see where I'm going here. Briarpatch is one of my family's favorites. Anyway, we did a taste test of this dish, and oh my GOODNESS it is delish. Especially if you love mushrooms.

Garlic Mushroom Chicken Entrée
Briarpatch
Ingredients:
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1½ cups prepared rice pilaf (hot)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1½ cups prepared rice pilaf (hot)
Instructions:
- Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Grill over medium heat. Cook the chicken seven minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove and rest.
- Prepare the garlic mushrooms in a pan by melting butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden. Add your minced garlic and continue for about 30 more seconds. Long enough to cook the raw flavor out without burning it.
- Plate the dish, starting with a generous spoon of rice pilaf. Then place chicken breasts on top of the bed of rice. Finish by adding mushrooms on top of the chicken breasts.
