This recipe you can make with chicken breast, but it’s one of the few that I actually prefer to use chicken thighs instead. So if you prefer the breast or any other part of the chicken, really, please feel free to use that instead.
INGREDIENTS:
2-4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
1 small onion or ½ large onion, diced
½ - 1lb baby bella mushrooms, sliced thick
1 small cloves of garlic, minced
¼ cup of Skinny Latina Mother of All Marinades
1 cup of chicken broth
1/2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch
salt and pepper to season
DIRECTIONS:
Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper
Mix the cornstarch (or arrowroot starch) with 2 tbsp of the chicken broth (cold or room temperature). Set aside for now.
Heat a large skillet or pan over medium high for a few minutes then add 1-2 tbsp of avocado/olive oil. Add your chicken thighs and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate.
On the same pan, lower heat to medium and add onions, season with salt and pepper, let sweat for a few minutes until translucent. Add your mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Spread them out and allow them to cook, stirring infrequently, for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add your garlic, cook for a minute and then add the Skinny Latina Mother of All Marinades. Let cook while stirring for 1 minute.
Stir in the chicken broth, cornstarch mix and juices that the chicken has released. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Bring the chicken back in the pan, reduce the heat to low and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Serve over mashed potatoes (I served mine over malanga puree), quinoa, sauteed spinach, rice, or noodles. Buen Provecho!
