Delicious Chicken & Mushroom Hotpot Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 500 grams chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
  • 250 grams mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 500 ml chicken stock (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms.

    Ensure the chicken is cut into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the onions and garlic. Sauté until softened.

    Do not let the garlic burn to avoid a bitter taste.
  3. Add Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.

    Stir occasionally to ensure even browning.
  4. Incorporate Mushrooms and Potatoes

    Add the sliced mushrooms and diced potatoes to the pot, stirring well to combine.

    Let the mushrooms release their moisture for added flavor.
  5. Add Stock and Seasonings

    Pour in the chicken stock, add thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

    Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Simmer the Hotpot

    Reduce heat and let simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken and potatoes are tender.

    Cover the pot to retain moisture while simmering.
  7. Serve

    Ladle the hotpot into bowls and enjoy hot.

    Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
