Ingredients for Asian Chicken With Mushrooms

  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or a mix)
  • Oyster Sauce
  • Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • sliced green onions (for garnish, optional)

How to Make Asian Chicken With Mushrooms

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces) and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to the pan. Add 1/2 cup of thinly sliced shallots, 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or a mix), and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and slightly softened.
  3. Return the chicken to the pan. Add 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional), 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. Serve immediately over hot cooked rice (egg fried rice is recommended!). Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
