Creamy Chicken with Mushrooms (Samoan-Inspired) | Minimalist Baking Recipes

It’s a flavorful one-pot meal that’s elegant enough to serve but easy enough for weeknight dinners. Serve with veggies and rice (or coconut rice!) and it’s meal prep perfect. We’ll show you how!

This easy one-pot recipe starts by sautéing onions mushrooms garlic and ginger for a flavorful base. We finely dice the mushrooms (rather than slicing them) to allow for extra caramelization (a trick you’ll also see in our dairy-free mushroom stroganoff).

Next we brown the chicken thighs on both sides and add light coconut milk tamari and apple cider vinegar to create a savory creamy broth with a bit of brightness. Optional red pepper flakes add heat and arrowroot or tapioca starch is the thickener.
