  1. 1

    Add flour, salt, pepper, and Italian herb seasoning to a large resealable plastic bag and mix well. Add the chicken pieces, seal the bag, and shake to coat the chicken lightly.

  2. 2

    Melt butter in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the butter stops sizzling, add the chicken and brown each side for 3 to 5 minutes. Brown the chicken in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Remove the chicken to a plate and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to medium and use a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits so they do not burn. Add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add onions, celery, and mushrooms; cook and stir for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds more. Pour in chicken broth and stir.

  4. 4

    Move the vegetables to one side of the pot and return half the chicken to the pot. Cover the chicken with vegetables, then repeat with the remaining chicken on the other side of the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add frozen mixed vegetables. Press the vegetables down into the cooking liquid with a spoon, replace the cover, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir flour and cold water together in a small bowl to create a slurry; stir until smooth and lump-free.

  7. 7

    Gradually add the slurry to the chicken and vegetables while stirring rapidly. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.

  8. 8

    Pour into a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
