Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken
- 2 tbsp oil, divided
- 500 g chicken thighs, cut into 2 cm pieces
- ½ tsp salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp Italian herbs
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
For the Mushrooms & Vegetables
- 250 g brown mushrooms, sliced
- 60 g butter, divided
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cooking the Chicken: Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces. Season with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir well and sear the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cooking the Mushrooms & Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining oil and 1 tbsp of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the remaining butter, sauté the shallots and green bell pepper until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Finishing & Serving: Return the chicken to the pan along with any resting juices. Stir to combine, coating everything with the pan juices. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully reheated. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- This dish is versatile—enjoy it over rice, with crusty bread, or as a salad topping.
