Best Chicken And Mushrooms Skillet Recipes

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
• Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
• Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.

SKILLET CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GREEN BEANS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

Turn chicken over; reduce heat to medium, and cook 10 to 12 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet, and discard drippings.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of the broth to skillet; return chicken to skillet. Heat broth to simmering, and continue cooking over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Remove skillet from heat, and transfer chicken to plate; cover and keep warm. Pour juices into 1-cup measuring cup. Add enough chicken broth to make 3/4 cup; set aside.

• Meanwhile, cook green beans in microwave as directed on bag for minimum cook time; set aside.
• Add reserved 3/4 cup chicken broth mixture, the cream cheese and pepper flakes. Heat to simmering; cook over medium heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and sauce is starting to thicken. Stir in green beans, stirring to coat in sauce. Return chicken to skillet to serve.
• Serve chicken with pan sauce and green bean mixture. Garnish with chives.
