Chicken & Mushrooms

  1. In a mixing bowl, toss chicken in sumac, parsley, garlic, pepper, salt, and lemon.

  3. Add 1 Tbsp of olive oil to skillet then add mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes then add chicken broth to deglaze skillet. Cool mushrooms until tender but still a slight chew. Remove mushrooms from skillet and set aside.
