Instructions
Creating Mushroom Chicken is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add chopped onions and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
5. Add Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, and thyme to the mixture.
7. Simmer: Allow everything to simmer together on low heat for about 10 minutes. This step helps to meld the flavors.
8. Add Greens: If using, add the spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking until wilted.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
