Step 1:
How to put out chicken breast with mushrooms and cheese in a frying pan? Prepare the products. It is better to take the meat chilled, but if you have frozen, then pre-defrost it by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. In addition to champignons, you can use any other mushrooms: oyster mushrooms, chanterelles, white or a mixture of mushrooms, both fresh and frozen.
Step 2:
Cream for this recipe can be of any fat content, but remember that the higher the percentage of fat content of the products you use, the higher the calorie content of the dish will be. I took 20%. Pour the cream into a glass, add flour, curry, salt and pepper.
Step 3:
Mix thoroughly until smooth, trying to break up all the flour lumps. If the lumps still remain, you can rub the creamy mixture through a sieve.
Step 4:
Grate the cheese on a medium grater. Any cheese for this dish is suitable — hard, semi-hard, soft, like mozzarella. The main thing is that it is delicious, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well. I have this mozzarella for pizza.
Step 5:
Wash the chicken breast, dry it and slice it across.
Step 6:
Wash the champignons, dry them and cut them into plates.
Step 7:
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the mushrooms on it until golden brown. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
Step 8:
Put the chicken breast in the frying pan where the mushrooms were fried. Fry it, stirring, until golden brown.
Step 9:
Return the mushrooms to the pan. Pour in the creamy mixture. Mix everything thoroughly. Simmer the dish on low heat for about 10 minutes.
Step 10:
Sprinkle the chicken with mushrooms with grated cheese. Stir and simmer for another 5 minutes. You can serve the dish with any side dish. Boiled potatoes / mashed potatoes, boiled rice, buckwheat or pasta are also suitable. Enjoy your meal!

You need to salt the dish carefully: if the cheese is already salty, then you can easily over-salt the dish. Therefore, it is advisable to taste the cheese you have chosen first. And first add a little salt to the cream (step 2). After adding and melting the cheese, taste the dish and, if necessary, add a little more salt. My mozzarella was practically unsalted, so it hardly affected the taste of the dish.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

Buy fresh medium-sized mushrooms, snow-white color without spots, damage, rot smell. They should not be slippery to the touch. Thoroughly rinse the mushrooms from the ground under a stream of warm or cold water. Cut out the damaged places, if there are any. Miniature mushrooms up to 2 cm in size do not need to be cleaned at all, it is enough to rinse them well. Larger champignons are recommended to be cleaned from films.
