Chicken and Mushroom Bites

Mushrooms cooked to golden and well seasoned chicken in a buttery sauce. I like the common white button mushrooms but you can experiment using different types of mushrooms... maybe cremini or morels?

Ingredients:

 2 tbsps olive oil, divided

1 lb (500g) boneless chicken breast, cut in 1" pieces

salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp dry oregano

1 tsp dry basil

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

8 oz (227g) white mushrooms, sliced

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

3 tbsps butter

1/4 cup diced onion

1 bell pepper, diced

3 tsps minced garlic

 

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet to medium high heat. Toss the chicken with salt and pepper and all the seasonings then add to the pan. sear and stir until cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

Add 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil to the same pan and add the mushrooms cooking about 3 minutes or until golden. Add the balsamic, the rest of the butter, onion and bell pepper. Stir and cook for 3 minutes then add the minced garlic for 30 seconds.

Return the chicken to the pan, mix together and heat through for a couple of minutes.

Serves 4
