Step-by-Step Professional Preparation

  1. Searing the chicken: Cut the chicken into strips or bite-size pieces. Season with black pepper and some of the Bonsalt . In a large skillet with the olive oil, brown the chicken over high heat to seal in the juices. Remove and set aside.

  2. Base sauté: In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the onion is tender and translucent.

  3. Sautéing the mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms. Turn up the heat and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they brown and release their aroma.

  4. Deglazing: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the white wine. Let the alcohol evaporate over high heat for 2 minutes.

  5. Final cooking: Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let everything cook together for 10 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken slightly with the natural juices of the chicken and mushrooms.

  6. Master touch: Before serving, adjust the seasoning with the rest of the Bonsalt and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for color and freshness.
