Skillet Chicken with Mushrooms

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you make skillet chicken with mushrooms? Start by gathering your ingredients. You can cut up a whole chicken and leave the pieces bone-in, or use boneless chicken — that's what I did here. You can use either breast or thigh meat; I like to use thigh meat for frying, since it's juicier than breast. Choose medium-sized button mushrooms. Peel and wash the onion and carrot. Any mushrooms will work.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the chicken under running water and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Then cut the meat into long strips.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the fresh mushrooms and quarter them.

4. Step 4:

   

   Use a good flat-bottomed skillet for frying. Heat it until hot and add a little vegetable oil. Add the chopped chicken and fry over medium heat until lightly golden, stirring now and then so it doesn't scorch. Then add the mushrooms.

5. Step 5:

   

   Now prep the onion and carrot. Grate the carrot on the coarse side of a box grater and chop the onion. Add both to the skillet with the chicken and mushrooms. Stir everything together. Add a little salt, spices, and minced garlic. A poultry seasoning and a bit of ground pepper are great here. Fry it all together over low heat for 10–15 minutes. By then the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are soft.

   Delicious, fragrant chicken with mushrooms is ready! Serve it with any side dish or fresh vegetables.
