Mushrooms with chicken and sesame – recipe & health benefits

Mushrooms and chicken are two highly versatile ingredients that can be used to prepare numerous healthy and delicious dishes. One of them – mushrooms with chicken and sesame – is not just hearty but also an unusually aromatic and gourmet delicacy, making it the perfect highlight for both everyday meals and festive occasions.

The addition of sesame seeds gives the dish a pleasant crunch and appetizing appearance while significantly increasing its nutritional value. Sesame contains vitamin E, PP, B-group vitamins, numerous minerals, and sesamol – a phenolic compound known for its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Ingredients (for 6 servings)

For prepare you need:

• 600 g chicken fillet (2 large pieces);
• 300 g mushrooms (champignons);
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds;
• 2 tbsp soy sauce;
• 2 tsp curry;
• 1 tsp salt (full);
• 2 tsp vegetable oil;

Step-by-step cooking method

Rinse the chicken fillet, pat dry, and cut into medium-thick slices. Wash the mushrooms and chop into cubes or thin strips. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot with a thick bottom. Add the chicken.

After 10 minutes, add the mushrooms, stir, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Add salt, curry, and soy sauce.

Then sprinkle in the sesame seeds. Stir well and cook for another 20 minutes over medium heat until the soy sauce fully evaporates.

Notes & serving suggestions:

For frying, we recommend using CraftOil™ corn, sunflower, or camelina oil. As an alternative, you can cook chicken with mushrooms directly in sesame oil to enhance the dish’s unique flavor.

Before serving, sprinkle the dish with fresh finely chopped dill, parsley, and/or cilantro. Using both black and white sesame seeds makes the dish visually impressive.
