Ingredients
- ½ cup (45g) button or cremini mushrooms, quartered (about 4 mushrooms)
- ¼ cup (30g) frozen pearl onions
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (120ml) light beer
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 4 small potatoes, such as fingerling or marble
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- chopped parsley (optional)
Preparation
- Place the mushrooms, onions, and oil in the Anyday and toss to coat. Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the beer, cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the vegetables and mix well. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, then stir until the sauce thickens. If necessary, cook for an additional 30 seconds until the sauce reaches the desired thickness.
- Season the chicken evenly with paprika and salt on both sides. Nestle the seasoned chicken and potatoes into the sauce and continue to cook covered for 7-8 minutes or until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through.
- Finish by adding red wine vinegar and sprinkling with chopped parsley before serving.
Suggestions
- To make this dish gluten-free, use a certified gluten-free lager or pilsner, or substitute for chicken stock.
- If you can’t find pearl onions, substitute for chopped white onion or shallot.
Recipe Notes
- For added crunch, sprinkle with panko bread crumbs and bake in a 500°F oven for 5-8 minutes, or until bread crumbs are toasted and the chicken skin is crispy.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
