Chicken Breast with Mushrooms in Cream Sauce

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you braise chicken breast with mushrooms in cream sauce? Get everything you need together first. You can use any mushrooms you like — I'll be cooking with fresh cremini. I recommend heavy cream: the higher the fat content, the thicker and creamier the sauce.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the chicken breasts under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot skillet and sear the breasts on both sides until golden. Then lower the heat, cover the pan, and let the breasts cook over low heat for about 15 minutes. The meat will release a little liquid, but you can add a splash of water if needed.

3. Step 3:

   

   In another skillet, sauté the finely chopped onion for a minute or so, until soft.

4. Step 4:

   

   Rinse the mushrooms and cut them into slices. Add them to the onion in the pan and cook everything together for another 3–5 minutes. The mushrooms will shrink as they cook.

5. Step 5:

   

   Now pour the heavy cream into the pan. Add the garlic pushed through a press. Season with salt and spices to taste.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the seared breasts. Stir everything together and simmer for another 5 minutes. Your chicken breast with mushrooms in cream sauce is ready! Plate it up and serve.

   Round out the dish with some fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
