Brazilian

Dutch oven

Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch bite-size pieces and sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper. Set it aside.

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the cilantro and separate 2 tablespoons out for garnish.

Slice the mushrooms if they’re not already sliced.

Make the rice. Rinse the rice under water in a strainer until the water runs clear. Add to 4 cups of water with a pinch of salt and bring up to a boil. Turn the water down to a low simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes.

Preheat a Dutch oven or high sided large pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil, the mushrooms, and the onions. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, until the mushrooms reduce by half and the onions start to turn translucent.

Add the garlic and chicken and cook until the chicken is completely white, no longer pink on the outside, about 8 minutes (you can cover to speed up the cooking time to 4-5 minutes)

Add the fresh cilantro, dijon mustard, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and broth. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper according to taste. Once it begins boiling (takes about 2 minutes on med-high heat), reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the cornstarch to half and half or heavy cream and stir to dissolve the cornstarch. Then add to the pot and stir to combine. Simmer for a final 5 minutes so sauce can thicken.

Serve over rice and garnish with fresh cilantro and potato sticks. Enjoy!
