Here is another great recipe using Jake & Amos' Hot Garlic Mushrooms.  They are power-packed flavor bites that kick up this Southwestern chicken number, and can be used in many other recipes. This dish is a saucy chicken, pepper and sausage melange with Southwestern notes, and goes so well with a fancy rice, or any grain. Its is fast and easy to prepare and so flavorfully satisfying. 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, quartered (I used pasture raised) 2 Tbsp favorite Southwestern or Cajun spice mix 1/2 lb good Italian sausage, sliced 1/2-inch   1 Jalapeño pepper, minced 1/2 green bell pepper sliced 1/2 orange bell pepper, sliced 1 medium yellow onion, sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup Jake & Amos’ Hot Garlic Mushrooms, drained 1 cup chicken broth 1 Tbsp cornstarch plus 2 Tbsp water 1 Tbsp butter Marinate the chicken with the spice mix for at least an hour, or overnight covered in the refrigerator.

Jake and Amos' Hot Garlic Mushrooms are a spicy, garlicky, pickled whole button mushroom that pack a kick of flavor and rich mushroom oomph. Jake & Amos is an Amish food provider out of Pennsylvania, and I found a jar of their kickin' mushrooms at a small grocer in mid-state NY while visiting our cousins. I should have bought more, but being not far from PA, we might find some around us. I suppose any other well-spiced pickled mushroom would do well. Here, the zing of these nice bite-sized mushrooms, along with their minced garlic and red pepper flakes is nicely balanced with the herb notes of pesto sauce and the cooling calm of sour cream.  A simple but fun dish prepped quickly on a work night and sure to satisfy. 1/2 lb favorite pasta 1 cup Jake & Amos’ Hot Garlic Mushrooms, drained 1 cup pesto sauce 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, for garnish Cook pasta in well salted water until just al-dente.   Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water and drain pasta.
