Chicken In Mushroom Gravy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 -8 skinless chicken thighs, bone-in
8 dried shiitake mushrooms
8 sun-dried tomatoes
2 cups water
3 tablespoons tamari or 3 tablespoons good soy sauce

Preparation

Skin the chicken thighs and remove any visible fat from them.
Put them in a stove-top casserole with the broken up shiitake and the tomatoes, snipped into small pieces.
Pour the 2 cups of water, the tamari or soy sauce and the Worcestershire sauce over them and simmer until tender.
Mix the cornstarch with 1/2 cup of cold water and stir it into the broth.
Simmer, stirring well to blend, until the broth thickens and clears.
Serve over mashed potatoes, or better yet, a combination of equal parts potatoes, carrots and rutabagas mashed together.
