Easy creamy chicken & mushroom
TODAY we make this super simple yet very tasty creamy chicken and mushroom dish. Chicken is a big part of home dinning in Zimbabwe. Not only do many of us breed chickens, but it is also one of the least expensive meat. Thus, would it not be nice if you had an extra recipe for doing your chicken? This recipe is a winner. In fact, I suspect it shall be your go-to recipe for a long time to come.
Ingredients
One punnet oyster mushroom;
One medium onion; One large carrot; Three cloves garlic; 500g chicken breast; One-and-half teaspoon salt Three tablespoon cooking oil;
One teaspoon dried thyme; One-and-half tablespoon cream of chicken soup powder;
250 ml fresh milk;
250 ml fresh cream/pouring cream
Directions
1. We will first start by getting all our ingredients ready. We chop our oyster mushroom, followed by some onion, carrots and garlic.
2. Once these are chopped up, we will then get down to business cutting up our chicken breast into some nice strips.
3. Next up, we shall start the cooking process, beginning with the chicken breast itself. Once the chicken is done, we shall set it aside and then turn our attention to cooking the vegetables.
4. We will then return the fried chicken breast to the pot where we already have the vegetables cooking.
5. On the side, we will then quickly mix our chicken soup powder with some fresh milk and pour into the pot before we add some fresh cream directly in the pot after a bit of stirring.
6. Finally, we shall be adding the carrots last so we do not overcook them so as to preserve some nutrients.
Cook’s notes Always taste the seasoning and adjust accordingly at the end of the recipe. One teaspoon of salt goes into the chicken then the remaining half goes into the carrots and mushroom mix.
Once our dish is done, we shall proceed to serve it garnished with some chopped-up, nice-smelling fresh basil. This dish will go so well with roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, pasta or rice.
In addition, feel free to serve it with some vegetables as a side. Yum! — zimbokitchen
