This dish is a delightful fusion of creamy mushroom sauce and tender chicken served over fluffy rice, perfect for a quick yet satisfying dinner tonight.

1

Start by cooking the rice. Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, add the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to low heat. Let it simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and sauté for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

5

Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned.

6

Stir in the chicken broth and soy sauce. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

7

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

8

Pour in the cream, stirring well until everything is combined. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and let it simmer for 2 more minutes to heat through.

9

Serve the creamy mushroom chicken over the fluffy rice and garnish with sliced green onion.
