There are many ways to prepare chicken, but not every preparation will be worthy of the name ‘divine’. We are not sure what ingredient it is that elevates this chicken to its status of being divine, but we do know that it is its taste that sets it apart. Read on to find out more about this recipe and how you can prepare it for your hungry crew.
Divine Chicken
To make this recipe, start by heating two tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet. Add 2 ½ to 3 lbs. chicken cut into serving pieces. Cook until meat is browned.
Next, stir in one 14 oz can whole tomatoes peeled and undrained, one 14 ½ oz. jar sliced mushrooms drained, one minced garlic clove and one envelope Lipton Recipe Secrets onion soup mix. Simmer covered for 45 minutes or until chicken is tender.
The meat can be served with any number of sides, but it is recommended to be served over a bed of noodles or rice. This will allow the soupy mixture to absorb into the starch, infusing the entire meal with the rich flavorings.
Of course, if you would rather opt for something lighter, you can serve the chicken divine with a salad, potato, or vegetable of your choice.
An Extra Chicken Mushroom Recipe For You
Going back to what makes this chicken recipe so divine, it can be argued that it is the combination of chicken and mushrooms that elevates the taste. They have a meaty texture that works well together in enhancing the taste of both foods. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that there are several recipes that feature these ingredients.
The extra recipe we will be taking a look at in this article is one for creamy Parmesan chicken and mushrooms. To make the recipe, start by combining 4-6 large chicken thighs, 3 tbsp. oil, salt and pepper, ½ tsp. garlic powder and 1 tsp. Italian seasoning in a bowl. Then, put the chicken in a large skillet and brown on both sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep in the heat.
Add 3 tbsp. butter to a pan and heat until melted. Stir in 2 tsp. minced garlic and 2/3 cup thinly sliced mushroom. Cook 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle in 2 tbsp, flour and stir to combine. Then, whisk in 1 cup chicken broth, 1 cup half and half, 2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Return chicken to pan and spoon a bit of the sauce over it. Cover and bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes.
Spoon more sauce over the chicken, sprinkle it with cracked black pepper, grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
How to Make Your Own Chicken and Mushrooms Recipe
Making your own recipes can seem like a truly daunting task. It's extremely easy to follow a recipe you find online or in a cookbook. All of the ingredients and steps have been carefully curated to create a dish that works. In addition, you can often look at the reviews of others to get an idea for whether the recipe is good or bad.

Second, don't set your expectations too high. Of course, you'll want your recipe to turn out right. But, sometimes that just isn't realistic. Mistakes will happen, and your dish may not turn out good the first time or two. Don't give up! Keep playing around with the ingredients, and before you know it you'll have a great dinner for your family.
