Mushroom Chicken Delight Recipe: A Comforting Culinary Experience
Ingredients
- 500 g boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 300 g mixed mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, and button), sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Prise salt (to taste)
- 1 Prise pepper (to taste)
- 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme. Set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high, add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar. Stir well to combine, scraping any bits off the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and allow the dish to simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Once cooked, remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
