Chicken in onion and mushroom sauce

Chicken meat is considered dietary. It is used in any cuisine of the world, has a neutral taste and is perfectly absorbed by the body. This recipe contains the most aromatic and nutritious part of the bird - the drumstick. The classic combination of mushrooms and onions gracefully emphasizes its advantages. Chicken in onion-mushroom sauce looks appropriate both on the festive table and as the main dish of a family dinner.

Chicken in onion and mushroom sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, chicken breasts work well. Adjust cooking time to 15-20 minutes to prevent drying out, as they cook faster than drumsticks.
Greek yogurt or sour cream are great mayo alternatives, offering creamy texture with a tangy flavor. Thin slightly with water if needed.
Swap chicken for thick-sliced portobello mushrooms or tofu. Sear them first for texture, then follow the same sauce steps.
Yes! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to refresh the sauce.
Try mashed potatoes, buttery noodles, or roasted veggies to soak up the sauce. A crisp green salad balances the richness.
Freeze in portioned containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat covered on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Yes, as written. Double-check labels on mayo or substitutions to ensure no gluten-containing additives.
Absolutely—use 1/3 the amount of dried herbs (like parsley or thyme). Sprinkle just before serving for best flavor.
Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water, stir into simmering sauce, and cook 1-2 minutes until thickened.
