Why we love it
There is something undeniably comforting and satisfying about indulging in a dish of creamy chicken in mushroom sauce. The combination of chicken and earthy mushrooms a symphony of flavors.
It’s a dish that manages to strike a balance between richness and taste, as well as being very easy to make. With a large pan on the stove top, start off cooking the chicken, slowly adding in the mushrooms, spices and cream.
The stove top method ensures that the chicken remains tender and juicy, while the mushrooms lend their unique umami flavor to the dish. In 30 minutes or less, you have a delicious dish that makes for a very easy cleanup.
Now I’m using boneless chicken, but you can also use boned chicken if you prefer. With just a handful of ingredients and a few spices, you can whip up a restaurant-worthy dish in the comfort of your own kitchen.
What to serve with it?
This creamy chicken in mushroom sauce goes really well with white or brown rice, which you can cook in the rice cooker at the same time.
You can also serve it with pasta, naan or pita bread for a change.
How to store it?
This creamy chicken in mushroom sauce can easily be prepared in advance and kept in the fridge.
You can also freeze it and and store it for up to a month. Just let it cool before placing in an airtight glass container, before placing in the freezer.
When thawing the cream may separate, with water on one side and fat on the other. However, you can just mix it again while reheating.
