👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Brown the chicken:

In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the chicken, season with salt and black pepper, and cook over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

2. Sauté the vegetables:

In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the onion and garlic until golden. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender and they release their juices.

3. Combine and simmer:

Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce and broth (if using). Stir well and cook together for about 5 more minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the sauce to reduce slightly.

4. Serve:

Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair it with white rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

💡 Extra Tips:

• If you like it spicy, add a pinch of dried chili flakes or a few drops of spicy sesame oil.

• Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture, but canned ones (well-drained) also work.

• For a creamier version, stir in a splash of cream at the end.
