- Break up your Chicken of the Woods into bite sized pieces.
- Add a small amount of olive or coconut oil to cover the base of a stock pot on medium to high heat.
- Add all of your veggies, your chicken of the woods, thyme, salt, and pepper, and sauté for around four or five minutes until your onions are translucent and your mixture is fragrant.
