Ok, I’m not going to beat around the bush, there is almost nothing healthy or redeeming about this recipe, it is pure bar food.

On the couch, in your sweatpants, drinking beer, watching your big screen, bar food.

There is a bar here called Jed’s, and they specialize in putting sauces and random unexpected food on chunks of chicken. It’s not healthy, but it’s thoroughly amazing at curing hangovers or break-ups.

My favorite Jed’s dish are the Fungus Balls, which is a plate of chicken chunks coated in hot sauce, then covered in sauteed mushrooms and melted cheese with blue cheese on the side for dipping.

I know.

Not only is this dish super easy to make at home, it’s also super low carb, and super delicious…aka I share with no one and moan the entire time I’m eating it.

An easy at home copy-cat recipe for Jed's famous fungus balls.
Ingredients
  • 3 Large Chicken Breasts, cut into bite size chunks
  • 1 Container of mushrooms, sliced
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ cup Hot Sauce (I'm partial to Franks Original, 0 carbs)
  • 2 tsp butter, melted
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper
Instructions
  1. Heat a thin layer of olive oil over medium high heat in a large pan.
  2. Season the chicken chunks with salt and pepper.
  3. When the oil comes to temperature, begin browning the chicken until cooked through, set aside.
  4. Add 1 tsp of butter to the pan, and saute the mushrooms until soft and cooked through.
  5. Add hot sauce and 1 tsp of melted butter to a baggie or bowl with a lid, toss in the cooked chicken chunks, and toss to coat.
Now it's time to assemble.
  1. Put your coated chicken chunks on a plate, cover with sauteed mushrooms, then coat heavily with cheddar cheese.
  2. For added cheese melting, toss on the microwave for 40 seconds, or a warm stove.
  3. Serve with Ranch or Blue Cheese on the side for dipping.
