Stewed Chicken with Mushroom

My selected cookbook for November's Cookbook Countdown #11 is Seoul Food Korean Cookbook by Naomi Imatome-Yun. The next recipe I've made is Stewed Chicken with Mushroom.

This braised chicken dish starts on the stove and finishes in the oven.

Onions are sauteed in some oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, then add the mushroom and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes more. Remove veggies to a plate, and brown the chicken pieces about 2 to 3 minutes each side. Add the veggies to the ovenproof saucepan and pour the seasoning mixture (whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, ginger, salt and pepper), stir everything to combine. Cover saucepan and place in a preheated oven at 350F, bake until the chicken is cooked and tender, about 30 minutes. Serve, eat with rice.

4. Add the mushrooms and cook until softened, another 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Move the vegetables to the side of the skillet and brown the chicken, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

7. Pour the seasoning mixture over the chicken in the skillet, stirring the ingredients to combine thoroughly.
