Gluten-Free Mushroom Chicken
A cozy fall favorite, this gluten-free mushroom chicken combines tender chicken with savory mushrooms in a delightful sauce, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound gluten-free chicken (breasts or thighs) Choose thighs for richer flavor or breasts for a lighter option.
- 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced) Experiment with cremini or shiitake mushrooms for added flavor.
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup chicken broth (gluten-free) A quality gluten-free broth enhances flavor.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon thyme Feel free to mix in other herbs like rosemary.
- to taste Salt and pepper
- to taste Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and add the chicken. Sear until both sides are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Once cooked through, remove from the pan and set aside.
Cooking
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onions are translucent. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the thyme. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the mushrooms. Cook for another 5-7 minutes on low heat to absorb flavors.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs well with rice or gluten-free pasta.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently. For a creamier sauce, consider adding a splash of coconut milk or gluten-free heavy cream before serving. Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.
