Chicken in Mushroom Cream Sauce

I posted pictures of the latest food that I have book in Facebook, and there were quite a number of requests for the recipe of the Chicken with Mushroom Cream Sauce.

So, without further ado... here it is. I hope I remember it right!



Ingredients:

3 tbsp butter, divided
5-6 breast fillets
2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms (baby portobello)
2/3 cup chicken stock
2/3 cup white wine (dry)
2/3 cup cream
1 tbsp fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste

heat 2 tablespoons butter and add the chicken fillet. brown on both sides, then add the sliced cremini mushrooms. set aside the mushrooms and chicken.

add another tablespoon of butter to the pan, then mix in 2/3 cup chicken stock, 2/3 cup wine, thyme, salt and pepper. scrape the bottom bits. once boiled, simmer for 5 minutes. then stir in 2/3 cup cream and simmer for another 2 minutes or so. then add back the chicken and mushrooms.

Serve with arugula salad (extra virgin olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper)

enjoy!
