SAUSAGE-MUSHROOM CHICKEN
Though the name of this recipe is ordinary, the flavor is anything but, thanks to its use of rendered sausage fat, which makes everything it touches taste meatier, including the chicken breasts and mushroom pan sauce. Introduce this ultra-forgiving technique to any friend who's intimidated by cooking to prove just how easy it is to pull off a gorgeous dinner.

Steps:
- Place sausage in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Poke holes into the sausage with a fork. Cook, turning as needed, until browned and firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Refrigerate sausage until ready to use.
- Heat oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts, skin-side down, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut off the base of the mushrooms and separate individual segments. Dice cold sausage.
- Flip chicken breasts over and sear on the opposite side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Set aside on plate.
- Add red onion, sausage, and mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt. Cook and stir until mixture begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Transfer chicken to serving plates. Cover skillet handle with a towel; place over high heat. Cook and stir sausage mixture until caramelized, about 1 minute. Pour in wine and simmer until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and toss in butter and 1 tablespoon parsley. Stir frequently until butter melts.
- Spoon sauce over the chicken. Garnish with remaining parsley.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CHINESE SAUSAGES
Chinese braised chicken packs a lot of flavour and promises tender, succulent meat. The smoky, full bodied flavour of Chinese mushrooms and the sweetness of Chinese sausages taste wonderful together. Try adding fried salted fish for unique nuances in taste.

Steps:
- Wash and pat dry chicken thighs (or equivalent chicken parts) with paper towels. Set aside.
- Soak dried mushrooms in 1/2 cup warm water for 15 minutes, or until softened. Discard the stems, reserving the soaking water. Slice mushrooms into halves.
- Heat up 2 tbsp oil in a wok over medium fire, until hot. Fry the dried salted fish slices (if using) until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Turn up the heat to high. In the same oil, add the garlic and shallots. Stir fry for 1 minute until fragrant and starting to brown.
- Add the chicken thighs and stir fry to brown the chicken on all sides evenly, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and Chinese sausages, and stir fry to mix evenly with the chicken pieces for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the seasonings, mushroom soaking water, and enough water to just cover the chicken. Let the liquids come to a boil. Then lower the heat until at a gentle simmer. Let braise for 25 to 30 minutes, or longer until the chicken becomes tender, adding a bit more water if necessary.
- When the chicken is almost tender, add the fried salted fish and ½ of the chopped spring onions. Stir to mix well, and simmer for another 2 minutes. Do a taste test and add salt, if desired (note: salted fish is also quite salty). Turn off the heat and dish out into a serving dish.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped spring onions. Best served immediately with steamed rice.

STEAMED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CHINESE SAUSAGE
Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, cornstarch, soy, dry sherry, molasses, salt, oil. Stir to combine very well, add chicken, mix all together, cover and refrigerate.
- Put mushrooms in a heatproof bowl, pour boiling water to cover. Cool, squeeze out excess moisture, cut away roots, slice in half.
- To assemble-may be done the day before. In an attractive 9" diameter heatproof platter with sides, spread the chicken in an attractive layer. Then make a circle near the outside with the sausage. Make a circle of mushrooms an inch in from the sausage. Repeat till you have no more sausage or mushrooms.(I don't like putting plastic wrap or aluminum directly on food. Here, make a 9" circle of wax or parchment paper, spread over the chicken and sausage, then cover with plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator.)
- In a Chinese steamer with at least 5" of boiling water in the bottom, place the top level of the steamer, with the uncovered chicken sausage platter. Steam strongly for 1 ½ hours. Carefully remove the chicken platter and serve it on an adequate-size, stable trivet.
- Decorate when you put dish out, with shredded scallion greens and, if you like, cilantro leaves.

Tips:

- Soak the mushrooms before using. This will help them to rehydrate and plump up.
- Use a variety of Chinese sausage. There are many different types of Chinese sausage available, each with its own unique flavor. Experiment to find one that you like.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chicken and vegetables, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly.
- Use a high-quality soy sauce. Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good one. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a deep, rich flavor.

Chicken with mushrooms and Chinese sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be served with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
