Chinese mushroom chicken is very easy to make and perfect for a weekday dinner. The tender chicken bites are cooked in an aromatic savory sweet sauce with juicy mushrooms and crisp bamboo shoots. Serve it over steamed rice and you’ll have your dinner ready in no time.
There is a mushroom chicken dish in traditional Chinese cooking. It is made with bone-in skin-on chicken, chopped to bite-size pieces, then braised in a soy sauce based sauce with dried shiitake mushrooms. It’s a dish I often ate traveling in China.
But if you’re short on time, try out this stir fried mushroom chicken that is just as hearty and delicious.
