Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Skillet
A quick and easy chicken dish featuring tender chicken and mushrooms in a luscious cream sauce.
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 300 g Mushrooms
- 1 Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 200 ml Cream
- 100 ml Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. Slice the mushrooms, finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken cubes and sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.
- Add the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle boil. Stir in the cream, allowing the mixture to simmer for several minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet. Mix well, ensuring the chicken is thoroughly coated in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let it simmer for a few more minutes.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for better flavor. Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking. Adjust the sauce thickness by simmering longer or adding more broth. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge.
