Introduction
Who doesn’t love a hearty, creamy chicken and mushroom sauce? It’s the epitome of comfort food and it’s surprisingly easy to make. In this recipe, we’re going to walk you through how to create this classic dish from scratch.
Ingredients
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 250 grams mushrooms, sliced 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 2 cups chicken broth 1 cup heavy creamSalt and pepper to taste Instructions
1. Prep the chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and are tender.
3. Make the roux: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. This will create a roux, the base of your sauce.
4. Create the sauce: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until the sauce is smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
5. Add richness: Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
6. Combine and serve: Return the cooked chicken to the sauce and cook for a few minutes until heated through. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve over your favorite pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
