INGREDIENTS
SWAP SHOP
1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tsp
1 tbsp vegetable oil + 1 tsp
2 chicken breasts, each cut into 6 long slices
2-3 chicken thighs, skin-off and de-boned
1 pinch salt and pepper
-
1 onion, finely chopped
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
125 ml white wine (optional)
(optional)
300g mushrooms, sliced in 1/2 cm pieces
300g courgette, sliced into 1/2 cm pieces
200 ml double cream
200 ml single cream
200 ml water
-
1 chicken stock cube
1 vegetable stock cube
2 portions rice
2 portions spaghetti
METHOD
- Cut and prep the ingredients before starting. If eating with spaghetti or rice, put this to the boil at the same time as cooking the chicken.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the chicken and fry on one side for 3-4 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper and transfer the almost cooked chicken to a plate.
- Reduce the temperature to medium-low and add a tsp olive oil to the frying pan. Sauté the onion and garlic for 4 minutes, then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for a couple of minutes until softened.
- Add the white wine and turn the heat to full for 45 seconds to burn off the alcohol.
- Add the double cream, water, chicken stock cube and chicken pieces. Stir to dissolve the stock cube and bring to a bubbling boil. Cook for 5 minutes (or longer if you prefer a thicker sauce).
- Season to taste with salt and black pepper and serve with spaghetti or rice. (Perfectly delicious eaten on its own!)
ADDITIONS
1 tbsp parsley
NOTES
Top tip: The sauce loves to be mopped up with a nice baguette!
