instructions
    1

    Start by finely chopping the onion and garlic, and slicing the mushrooms. This should take about 5 minutes.

    2

    In a large skillet, melt 50 grams of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for about 3 minutes until they are translucent.

    3

    Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened.

    4

    While the mushrooms are cooking, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.

    5

    Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking until they are browned on all sides, which will take about 10 minutes.

    6

    Pour in 250 milliliters of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    7

    After simmering, stir in 200 milliliters of heavy cream and let it cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

    8

    Finally, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add a splash of white wine to the broth for extra depth of flavor.

Important Tips
  • Ensure the chicken is cooked all the way through before adding the cream to avoid curdling.
  • Use a combination of mushrooms for a more varied flavor profile.
