Description
A quick, savory, and protein-packed Mushroom Chicken Bites Recipe made with juicy chicken thighs, cremini mushrooms, garlic, and fresh parsley all in one skillet.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add chicken thighs and season with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
3. Cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
4. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and melt.
5. Add sliced mushrooms, onion powder, and garlic powder. Sauté for 4 minutes until mushrooms begin to brown.
6. Return cooked chicken and juices to the skillet.
7. Add remaining butter and minced garlic. Stir and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
9. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
To save time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, though freshly seared chicken gives the best flavor.
Always clean mushrooms using a dry cloth or brush. Avoid soaking in water to prevent sogginess.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 4 months. Thaw overnight and reheat gently before serving.
