- 1.
- Put the porcini mushrooms in a bowl, pour 1 cup warm water over the mushrooms.
- Let soak for 20 minutes.
- Then squeeze excess water out of mushrooms, strain the liquid and reserve the water.
- Finely chop the porcini.
- Set both the water and the porcini aside in separate dishes.

- Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan (or a Dutch oven) until foaming.
- Add chicken and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove chicken and drain on paper towels.

- Add the sliced onion and the chopped porcini mushrooms to the pan.
- Cook gently, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes or until onions are softened, but not browned.

- Here I usually remove the chicken again, add the fresh mushrooms and cook them for about 10 minutes.
- I then thicken the sauce with a little water and corn starch (do not use flour).
- Once the sauce thickens, replace chicken and simmer for a few more minutes, turning the chicken to coat in the now thickened sauce.

- Serve with rice (or your favorite starchy thing).
- Spoon sauce over chicken and rice.
