Hi all!

Today I'd like to share with you this delicious recipe of mine. Read on if you like what you see :-)

Chicken and Mushroom Stir-fry

(serves 3 people (or two VERY hungry people)

You will need:

- About 350gms of chicken fillet (as shown in the picture below)

- About Half of a capsicum (cut as shown below)

- 1 Medium sized onion (Cut as shown below)

- salt and pepper to taste

- Garlic, chopped

- Ginger, chopped

- Mushrooms, sliced

- Tomato Puree

- Soy Sauce

- Oyster Sauce

- *Hot sauce 

- *Parmesan Cheese (grated)

- *Potatoes for French Fries or frozen French fries

- Oil for frying

Method

For the Marinade:

- Wash the chicken nicely and cut into about 1-inch cubes

- Place these cubes in a container and add salt, pepper, 3 tbsp Soy Sauce, 2 tbsp Oyster sauce, 1 tsp of chopped garlic and 1 tsp of chopped ginger to it.

- Close the lid or seal with cling film wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

The marinade

While the chicken is marinating, you can keep yourself busy by frying your french fries, and preparing the veggies for the next stage.

The boring French fries-frying process.

After your have marinated your chicken for about an hour, fry it on medium heat till it's cooked well. Make sure you don't overcook or undercook it. Just observe it, and you will know :-)

Doesn't look that tempting yet, but smells delicious!

Now comes the fun part!

- Put 1-2 tbsp of oil in a pan

- Saute the mushrooms with 1 teaspoon of garlic, salt and pepper on medium heat

- After about 2 minutes, add onion and capsicum.

Love this combination!

- Saute for a few more minutes till you feel the onion and capsicum pieces begin to slightly soften.

- Now add about 2 tbsp of Soy sauce, 2 tbsp of Oyster sauce, 1 tbsp of hot sauce (depends on how hot you want it to be), and about 2 tbsp of tomato puree.

- Stir it and let it cook for a while.

- You can add half a glass of water to it to lighten the consistency.

- Now add your chicken pieces into it.

- Cover the lid and let the flavors combine and strengthen the taste for about 5-7 minutes on low heat. 

- Make sure you are there to monitor it. We don't want to burn it at this stage!

Your chicken and mushroom stir-fry is now ready!

If you want, add grated cheese to your french fries and bake for about 5-7 minutes in your oven for an extra delicious treat!

...And Voila! My dear friends, your food is ready! Enjoy it! 

I served mine with Arabian bread and these delicious mouth watering French Fries, you can serve yours with rice, veggies or anything you feel like having that day!

Have a great day everyone!
