postheadericon Chicken with mushrooms

Description of plate
This delicious chicken recipe comes from chef Nena Ismirnoglou and gourmet magazine “gastronomos”.

For 3-4 people Great Freaky Chefs you need:
  • 1-2 Chicken breasts with the bone
  • 60 ml olive oil and 2 tablespoons of olive oil for the mushrooms
  • 2-3 onions chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 500gr small mushrooms cut in 2-4 pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 200 ml white wine
  • 150-200γρ chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt, pepper
To execute:
Place the casserole on the hot plate and let it get really hot. Add the olive oil and when it is quite hot, add the chicken and let it brown. As soon as it gets brown it will easily tear away from the casserole. When the chicken browns all around we take it off the casserole and let is stand.

In the same casserole, we add some oil, we place the chopped onions, salt, bay leaves and 100 ml warm water and let them cook, covered, in low heat for 10 minutes. This was the onion becomes really sweet! Be careful! You may need to add some water as the onion cooks.

In parallel and in a separate pan, we place the rest of the oil and sauté the garlic and the mushrooms until they are soft.

Going back to the casserole with the onions, and given that they are now quite tender, we add the chicken and the mushrooms. At this point we also add some salt and pepper.

We turn the fire on and we add the wine. Let the wine evaporate (3-4 min) and then add the chicken broth, cover and let cook for about 25-30 min.

After 30 min, try the chicken to make sure it is well cooked and add the thyme and oregano.

You may serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, rice or even pasta that you can add in the casserole after you cook them.

Enjoy!


Good luck freaky chefs!
