Ingredients
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 the chicken with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir well, searing the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken 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 they turn golden and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the remaining butter to the pan. 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 in the pan juices. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully reheated.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- This dish is versatile—enjoy it over rice, with crusty bread, or as a salad topping.
- For a richer flavor, try using a mix of fresh and dried herbs.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute butter with extra oil.
