My Mushroom Chicken Skillet recipe is the ultimate dish for anyone who is dairy-free but still wants a creamy, silky sauce with their meal. The Cashew Cream Sauce is an absolute dream and will be your new favorite ingredient. Use it to make so many of your favorite recipes dairy-free, such as 🍝 pastas or baked casseroles as well. The 🍗 chicken is tender, succulent and so juicy and moist. This is a healthy and protein-packed one-skillet recipe that you’ll go to again and again.
How to Prepare
💧 Start making the cashew cream by soaking the cashews in a bowl of hot water for 30 minutes. 🧄 Then drain them and add the soaked cashews to a blender with a pinch of salt, a clove of garlic, and 3/4 cup hot water. 🌀 Blend until creamy and smooth and then set aside. 🔥 Now, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 🧂 Add the chicken thighs (make sure they sizzle) and season with salt and pepper on one side. 🍗 Brown the chicken until golden all over, about 5 minutes per side. 🌡️ Once the chicken has browned on each side, remove it from the pan and reduce the heat to low. 🍄 Add the onions, mushrooms, and white wine and let cook, while stirring, for 2 minutes. ♨️ Add the chicken back in and cover the pan with a lid for 10 to 12 minutes, letting it simmer on low heat. 🥄 After 12 minutes, pour in the cashew cream and stir. If the sauce is too thick add a touch more water to thin it out. 🌿 Then, take the pan off the heat, garnish with parsley and enjoy this Mushroom Chicken Skillet with mashed potatoes, rice or a salad.
