Chicken and mushroom don't go together...

They don't! Both have a fairly bland flavour...unlike other combinations which work well such as eggs and bacon or vinegar on chips....chicken and mushroom should not be a thing.

AIBU?

Add some cream – another bland thing. Plus salt.Yum.

RainbowMum11 · 06/12/2020 03:43

YABU

Sparklfairy · 06/12/2020 03:45

Add garlic and cream and some cracked black pepper. Definitely a good combo!

DramaAlpaca · 06/12/2020 03:50

You're totally wrong. With the correct seasoning they go together beautifully.

Chicken and cheese now... just eurgh.

It usually helps if you actually season your food, you know.

FortunesFave · 06/12/2020 04:07

I know how to cook! I just think it's a horrid combo. Both dull...nope!

Yabu. Esp in light of the amazing chicken/mushroom combinations in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese cuisine for example.

Tartyflette · 06/12/2020 04:12

You need to get bloody expensive upmarket chicken..... and the garlic , black pepper etc

orangejuicer · 06/12/2020 04:14

YABU, and I love chicken and cheese too Grin

Monty27 · 06/12/2020 04:14

White sauce with loads of wine and garlic 👍

Chicken and mushrooms go together so well they actually make Pot Noodle sort of palatable. YADBU.

joystir59 · 06/12/2020 04:18

Chicken in general is awful. Especially in sandwiches. Chicken sandwiches are not acceptable and chicken and mushroom pies, just yuck!

FortunesFave · 06/12/2020 04:22

Tarty I don't need shopping advice! I'll never eat chicken and mushroom..I always buy organic chicken but wouldn't sully it with mushrooms! I do like mushrooms but fried in butter only.

add a bit of leek, perhaps some ham or bacon

IHaveBrilloHair · 06/12/2020 04:39

I think they do, however chocolate and fruit is a revolting combination.

FortunesFave · 06/12/2020 04:49

I agree about chocolate and fruit. It should work but doesn't. Skips No thanks! I just avoid it completely!

Love love this combo

Onceuponatimethen · 06/12/2020 05:02

So yabu Grin

wildraisins · 06/12/2020 05:19

It's only bland if you don't cook it properly. Lots of foods are bland on their own, that's why you add seasoning, spices, sides etc :)

twittwootwittwoo · 06/12/2020 05:27

Also chickens on real life will not eat mushrooms, just saying

lopdedop · 06/12/2020 05:31

You are being deliberately provocative.
And you are definitely unreasonable.
It is a tried and tested combination.

grosspointisland · 06/12/2020 05:34

Starting a thread about chicken and mushroom together ffs get a life.

JillofTrades · 06/12/2020 05:38

You can't cook if you cook it and find it still bland.

IHaveBrilloHair · 06/12/2020 05:57

Well that's you told @FortunesFave.
How dare you have food preferences and an opinion!

Zilla1 · 06/12/2020 05:57

I know how to cook and I don't need shopping advice? What other settled certainty do you want to share, OP?

For PPs, what seasoning would you use? Tarragon, thyme or ??
