Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Recipe Ingredients: 3 tbsp oil 1 onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp mixed herbs ½ tsp chili flakes ½ tsp salt 400g mushrooms, sliced 1 chicken stock cube 300ml water 300ml double cream Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Instructions: Prepare the Aromatics: Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until golden brown, about 2-3minutes. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with paprika, mixed herbs, chili flakes, and salt. Ensure the chicken is well-coated with the seasoning. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the pan with the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned. Add the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms soften. Prepare the Sauce: Dissolve the chicken stock cube in 300ml of hot water. Pour the chicken stock and double cream into the pan. Stir well to combine and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Finish and Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with your choice of sides like chips, rice, broccoli, or green beans. Tips and Tricks: Slicing Mushrooms: Use a damp paper towel to clean mushrooms instead of washing them under water to prevent them from becoming soggy. Creamy Sauce: For an extra creamy sauce, simmer the sauce gently and avoid boiling, as high heat can cause the cream to curdle. Seasoning: Adjust the seasoning to your taste. You can add more chili flakes for extra heat or more herbs for a fragrant dish. Substitutions: If you prefer a lighter option, use half-and-half or milk instead of double cream, though the sauce will be less thick.
