A different take on this Italian favorite. Truly in the style of the hunter because the porcini mushrooms have such an earthy flavor. Adapted from a recipe by Michael Chiarello on FoodTV. Ingredients:
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (or more) |
1 large portabella mushroom, sliced |
1 cup hot water |
olive oil |
1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken breasts (mix of both) or 1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken thighs (mix of both) |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1 cup crushed tomatoes (or diced tomatoes) |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Soak the porcini mushrooms in the hot water for 20 minutes or so. Dice and save the water.
2. Cut chicken into bite size chunks and saute in olive oil till browned. Remove from pan.
3. Add the garlic, porcini and portabello. Cook till softened.
4. Add the broth, tomato and reserved mushroom liquid. Let simmer a few minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, simmer 10 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/2 cup cold water and add. Simmer till slightly thick.
5. Serve with rice or pasta.
