Chicken Mushroom Fakeaway - Pinch of Nom Slimming Recipes

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff to know in the blurb!

This Chicken and Mushroom Fakeaway tastes so good, you’ll never need to go to the Chinese again! Think of all the calories and money you’ll be saving! We’ve perfected a savoury, rich sauce that’s packed full of flavour.

Oyster sauce is a key ingredient in this recipe. If you don’t want to use a seafood based sauce then you can get a vegetarian alternative made from mushrooms! Whichever you use it will give a wonderfully earthy flavour and keeps it nice and thick. All of this deliciousness and from fridge to table in only half an hour: guilt free and faster than digging out the takeaway menu!

What diets is this Chicken and Mushroom Fakeaway suitable for?

This recipe is suitable if you’re gluten free as long as you swap out the following ingredients for gluten free versions;

  • Stock cubes
  • Soy sauce
  • Oyster sauce

You could also enjoy this Chicken and Mushroom Fakeaway if you’re dairy free.

Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.

Do you need any special ingredients to make Chicken and Mushroom Fakeaway?

Nope! All the ingredients we use in this recipe are readily available in the supermarkets.

We like to use chicken breast in this Fakeaway as they cook quicker, but you could also have it with beef, pork or even prawns if you fancied.

This recipe is also a great way to use up any vegetables that need eating. Just bung them in!

How much sweetener should I use thanks

    SharonTuesday 28th February 2023

    Hi Jacqui, just a small pinch of sweetener will be enough in our Chicken Mushroom Fakeaway. Enjoy the recipe!

Is this the right amount of ingredients as it seems a lot for two servings, out of that I would get four servings for me and my husband.

    HollyThursday 27th May 2021

    Hey Karen, if you would prefer you can half the ingredients or split the recipe into 4 and you can pop any extra in the freezer for a meal for another day, hope that helps!

Hi, When your cooking again after freezing it should I add anything to it a bit more stock or anything?

Reply

    Sharon FitzpatrickTuesday 19th May 2020

    Hi Lisa, you shouldn’t need to add more liquid when reheating this, but just keep an eye on it and if you think it needs more liquid, try stirring in a couple of tablespoons of water.

Hello, this is my favourite stir fry recipe and I’m planning on having it tonight, unfortunately I don’t have any oyster sauce, can I still make it without it

Reply

    Sharon FitzpatrickTuesday 19th May 2020

    Hi Kirsty, the oyster sauce adds a richness to this recipe so if you leave it out it will be a less flavourful result.If you have hoisin sauce you could try using that instead. Thanks for getting in touch.

Hi I made this and was wondering would it work without the stock cube as I found it tasted quite salty with the stock cube…Thank you

Reply

    Emma TWednesday 25th September 2019

    Hi Audrey,

    Yes you could – alternatively you could use a lower sodium stock cube to make the stock, or use a light/low sodium soy sauce which would also reduce the saltiness ????

DebThursday 20th June 2019

Would this work with garlic purée and ground ginger instead?

    Emma TThursday 20th June 2019

    Hi Deb,

    Yeah, they would work fine ????

Does the 10 mins to prep include chopping and slicing all the ingediants? I can’t be the only one that needs about 45 mins to chop and dice/slice stuff?

Reply

    KaySaturday 11th February 2017

    My knife skills are nowhere near as good as Kates – and this is how long it usually takes me. Saying that,my workspace is very organised. Just go at your own pace as you don’t want to injure yourself ????
