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.
