Caramelized Mushroom Chicken

Elite Jakob
Course Main Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 4-5 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 3-4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 4-5 chicken breasts, halved
  • 1/2 Tablespoon salt
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, sautee the onions in olive oil on medium low heat, slow sauté, until they are deep goldish color, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and mix. Let them cook until they turn golden as well, about 5-7 minutes.
  • While the onions and mushrooms are cooking, prepare the chicken. Pat the chicken breast dry, cut in halves (vertically) and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • To the onions and mushrooms, add the chopped garlic, salt and pepper and continue cooking for 1 minute. It should be deep goldish color by now.
  • Turn off the heat and add 1/4 cup of soy sauce and mix.

To assemble:

  • In an oven safe dish layer ½ of the onion-mushroom mixture, then the chicken, and cover with the remainder of onions and mushrooms. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper and drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil.
  • Place the chicken in the oven on 375F for about 40-45 minutes for boneless chicken and an extra 15 minutes for bone-in chicken
  • If the top seems too dark, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  • Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving. You can serve this dish with rice or cauliflower rice and drizzle the sauce on top.
