Country Giant morning deejay Gator Harrison invited Crossvilles Halcyon Days Restaurant Chef Gary Brewer into the kitchen to learn some tips on cooking local and eating green.
Serves 2
2 Tbs Butter
2 Tbs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Boneless Chicken Breasts
½ c. flour
1 portabello mushroom cap, sliced
½ c. beef broth
½ c. sweet Marsala Wine
1 c. heavy cream
black pepper & salt
½ zucchini squash, sliced
½ summer squash, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
½ tsp. minced garlic
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dredge chicken breast in flour & sauté in butter 3 minutes, then flip and brown another 3 minutes. Place in oven for 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with broth, add wine, reduce mixture by half and add heavy cream along with a pinch of black pepper. Add ½ of mushroom slices to sauce and reduce for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Consistency will be creamy.
While chicken and sauce are cooking, sauté vegetables over medium-high heat with 2 Tbs olive oil with a pinch of salt and the minced garlic. Toss veggies often.
To serve, remove chicken from oven and top with sauce. Serve alongside vegetables.

Prison Farming
We think it’s great news that several Tennessee Prisons are choosing to Go Green, and Live Green Tennessee recently visited Sergeant Doug Griffith of the Tennessee Department of Corrections. Griffith explained a recycling program that turns leftover food from five prisons into rich, fertile mulch that’s then used on a 100-acre kitchen garden. The inmates working the farm save the prison system—and you, the taxpayer—money... But more important is the responsibility, the fresh air, and the opportunity to learn practical, employable and life-long skills to help trustees adjust to life upon release.
