Mushroom Chicken Bites
I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you try this recipe. It really is quick and easy, especially for a weeknight family dinner. Although you can use other cuts of chicken, I like the chicken thighs as they are more tender and flavorful. Creamy mashed potatoes or rice pair beautifully with these chicken bites. I’m all about whipping up quick dinners during the week, and this one ticks all the boxes, it’s ready in just 25 minutes. All the seasonings and garlicky butter really elevate the depth and taste of this, oh so easy meal. One of the best things about this, is it’s one of those one pot meals where everything gets cooked in one pan, meaning no big mess in the kitchen. Now that’s a big bonus!
What You Need To Make Mushroom Chicken Bites
There really are only a few ingredients needed to make this besides mushrooms and chicken. Once you get all the ingredients ready, your dinner will be on the dinner table in just 15 minutes!
Oil – I usually use olive or if you prefer use your favorite to cook the chicken in. Chicken – Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless cut into 1 inch cubes. I prefer using chicken thighs because they’re juicier and more tender but chicken breast can be used as well. Salt/pepper – Add salt and pepper to taste. Red pepper flakes – a little bit of dried red pepper flakes add a little touch of heat. Increase the amount if you like more heat. Butter – I like to use unsalted butter to control how salty my dishes are but use whatever you have. Mushrooms – Sliced cremini mushrooms are used, and have a lot of flavor. You can substitute for other mushrooms if you prefer such as white or shiitake mushrooms. Onion powder – a little will adds lots of onion flavor. Garlic – Both garlic powder and minced fresh garlic are added to this dish for lots of garlic flavor. Parsley – Chopped parsley for a little garnish on the dish.
