Chicken Mushroom Cream Sauce Recipe
After trying out this Chicken Breast in Creamy Mushroom Sauce recipe, I can't help but share how incredibly satisfying it is! From the moment I started cooking, the aroma of sautéed mushrooms and garlic filled my kitchen, making it feel like a special occasion.
Ingredients
- 400 g chicken breasts
- 50-100 ml cooking oil
- 200 g mushrooms brown or white, sliced
- 50 g onion finely chopped
- 300 ml heavy cream
- 1 –2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 1/2 tsp seasoning powder
Instructions
- Start by preparing the chicken. Cut each breast in half horizontally to create thinner steaks, which allows them to cook evenly. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of flour to create that delightful crispy coating.
- Next, heat some butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken and cook for about two and a half minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken once done, and set aside while you dive into making the sauce. 🍄
- Now, in the same skillet, toss in more butter and sauté your mushrooms. After about four minutes, when they start browning, add minced garlic for an additional minute, stirring away.
- Then it’s time to deglaze the pan with a splash of dry white wine, keeping the heat up so it bubbles and steams! 🍷
- Once the wine has mostly evaporated, mix in the chicken stock and let it reduce for a minute. Now it's time to add the star of the show: heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Simmer it down for another couple of minutes until the sauce thickens nicely. 😊
- Finally, return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to warm up and soak in that creamy goodness. Serve immediately, ensuring each plate gets a generous drizzle of sauce!
Notes
- Bring Chicken to Room Temperature: Helps it cook evenly and stay tender. Cold chicken straight from the fridge can result in uneven cooking, leaving some parts dry while others remain undercooked.
- Balance Sweet & Savory: Add a touch of honey for a subtle sweetness. This enhances the depth of flavor and can help counteract the sharpness of the garlic and parmesan.
- Enhance Flavor Depth: Let the sauce simmer a few extra minutes for a richer taste. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors meld together, creating a deeper and more robust sauce.
