One Pan Chicken Garlic Mushroom Saute-
An easy, One Pan Chicken Garlic Mushroom Saute that is paleo, low carb and gluten free.
One Pan Chicken Garlic Mushroom Saute is paleo, low carb, very simple to prepare, and so extremely tasty!
I am excited that this is such a super simple, all-in-one pan dish to make, and yet it packs so much flavor.
Realizing that arrowroot is not low carb in larger amounts, So, in this dish, I used only a tiny amount (½ teaspoon for the entire recipe) and this would only add a nominal amount of carbs.
I think I could eat this every day, and I am not even kidding. Only one pan to wash makes this recipe a fast clean-up, and a no-brainer. I'm so tired after work sometimes, that I need a healthy meal that does not involve much work or any brainpower.
As a small child I hated mushrooms, I’m not even sure why, as they don’t have a strong taste and pretty much taste like whatever you cook them in. Which makes them excellent little garlic butter absorbers.
The mushrooms in this dish really absorb all that flavor from the garlic and butter, which just makes this chicken extra scrumptious.
I started developing a taste for mushrooms as a teenager, and now I actually quite adore them.

How else can i thicken my sauce..... overlooked that i needed arrowroot whe in the supermarket. Any suggestions would help.
Stacey
Sometimes you can just boil the sauce and then simmer to reduce it, but it won't be as thick as with a little arrowroot powder.
Rachel
Such comfort food! Perfect for the winter months (as wintery as it gets here in California).

I hated mushrooms as a kid too and now I love them. Maybe they are like brussels sprouts and your tastes change as you get older? Who knows. This looks wonderful though and I love the one-pot easy cleanup!

Tara
Can you skip the wine? And where do you find arrowroot powder?
Stacey
Tara, I don't think it would be quite as good without the cooking wine, and I get arrowroot powder in the spice section at the grocery store, but you could omit the arrowroot, as it just thickens the sauce and has no taste.

If you don't have cooking wine on hand (or, like me, don't like the flavour of wine), here's the link to a site that gives alternatives for both red and white cooking wines: https://www.thekitchn.com/simple-nonalcoholic-substitutes-for-red-and-white-wine-tips-from-the-kitchn-184394
