Description
Savory Chicken with Mushrooms and Potatoes is a hearty, comforting meal that combines tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and crispy baby potatoes in a flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and honey. It’s an easy, one-skillet dinner that is simple to make but packed with delicious flavors.
Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and halved baby potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the chicken broth and dry white wine (if using). Stir in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and dried thyme.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the dish garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Add other vegetables like carrots, peas, or spinach for a more colorful and nutritious dish.
Swap the chicken breasts for boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a more juicy and flavorful option.
Try swapping the baby potatoes with sweet potatoes for a slightly different twist.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce to give the dish a spicy kick.
For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free butter and double the olive oil.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated with a little chicken broth to keep the dish moist.
