The combination of ingredients in garlic chicken with caramelized mushrooms and onion takes on an added dimension of flavor in this Asian-themed dish.
Garlic Chicken with Caramelized Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 8 oz boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
- 6 cloves garlic, minced (2 tbsp)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 cup cubed boiled potatoes (1 medium-sized), hot
Instructions
- Mix garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.

Your chicken recipe seems quite interesting, and I will try it.
I can’t even recall if I had anything similar, and I eat a lot of chicken meat weekly.
By the way, I love garlic and eat it every day. It is excellent and helps to strengthen your immune system.
I am seeing the recipe contains ¼ cup brown sugar per 8 oz of chicken meat.
Since I am not a big fan of adding any sugar or other sweet things to meat, do you think I can add a little bit, maybe a teaspoon, or possibly skip brown sugar from the recipe?
Let me know, please, and thanks for the recipe.
The beauty of making things in your own kitchen is that you can make any adjustments you want! Leave the sugar out and please let me know if the result was pleasing. Enjoy!
