Chicken and mushrooms suggestions
Caramelization of the skin during browning adds flavour to the chicken and to the pan. If you’d like, once the onions have cooked, you may deglaze the pan with white wine. A lot of black pepper and other seasonings would be excellent in the mushroom sauce. In addition to a refreshing salad, fry some chips in oil or an air fryer.
