Chicken with mushrooms

Versión en español

I’ve always enjoyed being in the kitchen of houses, regardless of what is being cooked, I like the smell and the warmth. One of my best memories is keeping company to my aunt Viviana –or Mami Vivi as I’ve always called her– making family lunch: this Chicken with mushrooms while listening to Chilena radio station and me telling her about my university life. While in Med School, I often would rush to her house for lunch.

Now, 20 years later, every Sunday during dinner I write the grocery shopping list and ask if anyone would like something in particular. I make one dinner on demand, and the rest is decided by me with whatever I have on hand or feel like cooking. This time, my husband asked for chicken, NOT chicken breasts, but thighs or drumsticks. And I remembered this straightforward and tasty dish. I served it with mashed potatoes. As soon as my husband opened the door of the house, he said: What smells so delicious? Talk about comfort food.
