Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Sear the chicken: Cut the chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper to taste using Bonsalt . In a large skillet with the olive oil, brown the chicken over high heat to seal in the juices. Remove and set aside.
-
Base sauté: In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic, finely chopped. Cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent.
-
Sauté the mushrooms: Add the cleaned, sliced mushrooms. Turn up the heat so they brown quickly without releasing too much water.
-
Deglaze: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the white wine. Let the alcohol evaporate for a couple of minutes.
-
Final cooking: Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let everything cook together for 10 minutes so the chicken finishes cooking through and absorbs the mushroom flavor.
-
Final touch: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley just before serving to add freshness and color to the dish.
