The best part of this dish is that I only get one pot dirty, and the whole thing takes about 30 minutes from beginning to end. I usually get the mushrooms going, then take care of the chicken while the mushrooms are cooking and mix up the sauce while the chicken is browning. This is great served over rice or quinoa. Recipe by Michal Frischman. Watch the video here.
In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
Brown mushrooms in a large frying pan sprayed with cooking spray, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the frying pan and set aside.
Combine flour, garlic powder, ginger, and half a teaspoon of salt, and toss with the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag until the chicken is coated.
Using the same frying pan, add about one tablespoon of oil and cook the chicken in batches until all sides are browned and they’re cooked through. You may need more oil midway.
Once all the chicken is done, put all the chicken back into the pan, add the mushrooms back in, and pour in the sauce. Let the sauce come to a bubble and thicken, about five minutes.

You can substitute cooking sherry for the mirin.

Chicken and Mushrooms The sauce in this recipe calls for mirin. What is this ingredient and what can i substitute instead of it.
Mirin is actually a sweet Japanese wine. Substitute a cup of mirin with a cup of dry sherry mixed with a 1/8- 1/4 cup sugar.
You can also substitute apple juice! but if you like to cook Asian recipes, mirin is a great pantry item to have on hand.
