Ingredients
  

  • 4 to 5 ounces chicken of the woods mushrooms, fresh
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour (we use King Arthur, gluten free)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp salted butter
  • 3+ tbsp chicken or vegetable broth

Equipment

  • cutting board & knife
  • 8" skillet with lid
  • small bowl for mixing spices

Method
 

  1. Rinse the mushrooms briefly and blot dry.
  2. Cut the mushrooms into bite sized pieces.
  3. Add the olive oil to an 8" skillet and heat over medium heat.
  4. Combine the flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Toss the mushroom pieces with the flour mixture, until lightly coated.
  6. Add the mushrooms to the hot skillet.
  7. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the garlic cloves and butter.
  8. Continue cooking and stirring for 4 to 5 minutes.
  9. Add the broth, cover the skillet, and continue cooking for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
  10. Some mushrooms may take longer than others to become tender. If needed, add another 1/2 to 1 tbsp broth at a time and cook for several extra minutes.
  11. Remember, if this is your first time enjoying Chicken of the Woods, eat a very small amount, then wait 24 to 48 hours to ensure you're not sensitive to it.
