Chicken with dried mushrooms - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use fresh mushrooms instead of dried ones?

Yes, you can substitute fresh mushrooms for dried ones. Use about 3 times the amount by weight, as dried mushrooms have a more concentrated flavor. Sauté fresh mushrooms first to release excess moisture before adding the chicken.

How should I store leftovers, and how long will they last?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to maintain moisture.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Absolutely! Replace the chicken with hearty vegetables like potatoes, zucchini, or tofu. Use vegetable broth instead of water and adjust cooking times based on your chosen substitutes.

What sides pair well with this dish?

This dish pairs well with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. A light salad or steamed greens like broccoli also balance the richness.

Can I freeze this dish for later?

Yes, this dish freezes well. Cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating on the stovetop.

How can I make this dish low-carb?

Skip the carrots or reduce the quantity, and serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles instead of traditional grains. Ensure the dried mushrooms are low-carb-friendly (most are).

Can I use boneless chicken thighs instead of fillets?

Yes, chicken thighs work well and add richer flavor. Adjust cooking time slightly as thighs may take a few minutes longer to cook through. Keep the lid on to retain moisture.
