Asian? Chicken

If you think of a good name for this, let me know:

Ingredients:
Chicken drumstick meat
Cremini Oyster mushroom
Salad (I used Arugula)
Rosemary
Salt
Pepper
Cilantro
Asian black bean sauce (the secret ingredient)
Butter (or olive oil)
Jasmin rice

Start the rice in the rice cooker.

De-bone the thigh meat from the bone, if you bought the meat on the bone. Leave the skin on if you want some extra flavor. Spread so the it's flat and season with salt, pepper, rosemary, cilantro, then rub in a small dollop of the black bean sauce. Don't use too much, it's strong!

Put the pan on the fire and let the butter melt and spread. Cook the chicken on medium heat, covered, and turning over every min or so. Do about 15 mins in total. Both sides should brown nicely. Remove from the pan and place in serving plates. Make sure your rice is ready by this point also, and in 'warm' mode.

This next part should be quick. Keep the fire on the pan, and toss the cremini oyster mushrooms in. Turn up the fire and brown them. The cook quickly, so watch out not to overcook or burn. When the are almost ready, throw in about two handfuls of salad per person.

Serve with rice. The flavors of the chicken and the sauce should work great with the rice.
