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

1. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme. Set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, approximately 4-5 minutes.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Once cooked, remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
