Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons oil, divided
- 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch (2cm) pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon cracked pepper
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Mushrooms & Vegetables:
- 8 ounces sliced brown mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown shallot, chopped
- 1 tablespoon green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Mix well to coat the chicken evenly, then sear until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, set aside, and keep warm.
- Cook the Mushrooms and Vegetables:
- In the same pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the remaining butter to the pan, allowing it to melt.
- Sauté the chopped shallots and bell pepper until they are just soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine and Serve:
- Add the cooked chicken back into the pan along with any juices that were released while resting.
- Mix everything together to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables in the pan juices.
- Continue cooking until all the vegetables are soft and the chicken is heated through, about 1-2 more minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
