Notes
Helpful Tips:
-
- Keep the chicken in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
- Don't wash the chicken before you use it as cooking will kill bacteria and washing just spreads it around.
- Cut and trim any extra skin and fat from the chicken.
- When possible, slice the mushrooms yourself. Pre-sliced mushrooms lose their freshness quickly.
- I love chicken thighs, but you can also make this with chicken breast.
