Baked Chicken With Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Food

BAKED CHICKEN WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Wash the chicken and then pat it dry with paper towels and put it into a baking dish. Sprinkle it with the salt, white pepper, garlic, and paprika. Then rub that into the chicken thoroughly. Next, add a little bit of water to the bottom of the baking dish. Put it in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes to an hour, or until its almost done.
• 2. While chicken is in oven saute mushrooms and onions in 2 T olive oil. Remove chicken from oven and add the chicken stock to the dish. Pour onions and shiitake mushrooms into pan. Add flour to all of that and stir it to get rid of as many lumps as possible. Then bake it all in the oven again until the sauce thickens up to whatever degree you like and chicken is completely cooked. That usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with a bit of chopped green onion for color if you like.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add the chicken breasts, the mushrooms and the onions. Cook about 5 minutes over medium heat or until lightly browned. Turn the pieces and cook 5 minutes more, shaking the pan and turning the mushrooms and onions so they brown evenly. Remove chicken breasts, and keep them warm. Pour off fat from the pan.
• Add the rosemary and shallots and cook briefly, until wilted. Add the wine and cook, stirring and scraping to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the skillet.
• When the wine is almost reduced by half, blend in the chicken broth. Continue cooking and when the sauce is reduced by half, stir in the butter. Remove pan from stove immediately. Pour sauce over chicken, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

SOY SAUCE CHICKEN WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Mix together the marinade ingredients. Make 2 or 3 diagonal cuts on each side of the chicken thighs. Place the thighs in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. (Use 2 bags and split the marinade in half if necessary.) Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 4 hours or longer, moving the bag occasionally to make sure all the thighs are coated in the marinade. Remove the chicken and reserve the marinade.
• While the chicken is marinating, soften the dried shiitake mushrooms by soaking in hot water for about 30 minutes. Squeeze out any excess water. Cut off the stems and cut the caps in half.
• In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned, turning over once. Add the onion and saute until softened (about 5 minutes). At the same time, you are browning the chicken and cooking the onions, bring the reserved marinade to boil in a small saucepan. Boil the marinade for 5 minutes.
• Add the marinade and the dried mushrooms to the chicken and onions. Season with salt and freshly ground black or white pepper if desired. Simmer, uncovered, on low heat for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, adding water if needed. Serve soy sauce chicken hot over steamed rice.

CHICKEN AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep sided heavy skillet or saute pan with a lid, preferably with a non-stick coating, over medium heat. Add the chicken smooth side down. Saute, turning each piece with tongs or a plastic spatula until lightly browned, about 5 minutes per side. Half way through cooking add the shiitakes; lightly brown on both sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; remove chicken and shiitakes to a side dish.
• Add the wine to the hot skillet and boil over high heat until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley, garlic and orange zest. Heat to boiling; stirring to combine ingredients. Return the chicken, shiitake and any juices on plate to the skillet. Cover and cook, over medium heat, 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a heated platter; cover with foil. Turn the heat to high and boil the tomato mixture until slightly reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Add basil, if using. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with basil and serve with Parmesan Orzo (recipe to follow).
• Cook orzo in boiling, salted water, partially covered, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. When the water returns to a boil, uncover and boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Toss with the cheese and parsley.

SHIITAKE-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH CREAMED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Prepare coating:
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• In a shallow baking pan drizzle oil over shiitakes and toss to coat. Roast mushrooms, stirring once or twice, 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Keep oven at 450°F.
• Mince roasted shiitake and in a shallow bowl stir together with bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste. Have ready in separate shallow bowls seasoned flour and egg.
• Working with 1 chicken breast at a time, dredge in flour, shaking off excess, and dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Coat chicken with mushroom mixture, gently knocking off excess, and transfer to a plate. Chicken may be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead and chilled, uncovered, on a rack.
• In a 12-inch non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté chicken until golden, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer chicken with tongs to baking pan and roast in middle of oven 10 minutes, or until just cooked through.
• Make creamed mushrooms while chicken is roasting:
• Wipe out skillet and cook shallot in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add shiitake and salt and pepper to taste and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring, until mushrooms are softened and browned lightly. Stir in wine, vinegar, and rosemary and boil until all liquid is evaporated. Add cream and simmer, stirring, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Season mixture with salt and pepper.
• Serve chicken with creamed mushrooms.

BAKED CHICKEN IN MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Flatten chicken if needed as you want it to fry quickly.
• Measure flour onto a flat plate and lightly coat chicken. Preserve 1/2 tablespoon of flour and set aside.
• Melt margerine in a large skillet and brown chicken two to three minutes each side and place in a greased baking dish.
• Preheat oven to 375.
• Saute mushrooms in the same skillet (do not wash as you want to preserve the juices) until tender.
• Add chicken broth, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Let boil for 3 minutes, add sherry and remaining 1/2 tablespoon of flour. Be sure to gradually add the flour by sprinkling in and mixing while allowing it to dissolve. Adding it too fast will result in clumps of flour in your mushroom sauce. Let the mixture reduce by half of your original liquid.
• Pour mixture over chicken and bake uncovered in oven for 12-15 minutes.
• Remove chicken from oven and layer half of the parmesan cheese, then sprinkle on green onions. Add the remaining parmesan and mozzarella on top and bake for an additional five to six minutes.
• Enjoy :).
