Slice Mushrooms for Baked Chicken

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to make a really great really simple chicken recipe. It's baked chicken with pearl onions, bacon and mushrooms. First things first, mushrooms and then we are going to do mushrooms is slicing them really really thin. You'll notice that I haven't washed these yet. I wash them after I slice them and I just rinse them off with some water and let them drain out. So a lot of times I won't wash my mushrooms. People say that is bad but it's something that I don't always do. If I'm making a soup or something I won't wash them. It' just me if I'm cooking for myself or if I'm cooking for somebody else, I always wash them so with that being said you just take the knife. Find the flat spot on the mushroom which if you let the mushroom stop moving it will find itself and just take your knife and make a nice delicate straight cuts. Some people choose to scrub their mushrooms before they cut them. That is fine, what ever makes you happy. I always clean mine afterwards so I feel it's easier. It's really hard to cut a damp mushroom cause they get really spongy so also something else you can do is you can cut the mushrooms in half and do like this. If you don't mind the half mushroom appearance, which I don't mind it's a faster way to do it and it's just a matter of what you prefer for the presentation. These are going to be all over your dish for smaller mushrooms I tend to do whole slices the problem with the whole slices you get pieces that are this big, that's gigantic. We are obviously going to take these pieces and I'm going to cut them in half now so I already got them cut and pull them apart cause they stick together. There you go, simple as that. This is the joy of cutting mushrooms. You want to make sure when you slice your mushrooms for this recipe that you are not slicing them to thin. You want something about that thick about sixteenth of an inch or so. The reason being if you get too thin because this is a slow cook recipe for a pretty long cook time they will just disintegrate and you won't actually have that visual of that mushroom in your soup. That would just ruin the whole thing so with that being said, there's our mushrooms, let's move on.
