Chicken And Mushrooms In Cream Sauce Over Zoodles Recipes

CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
• Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.
• Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.
• Cook mushrooms: In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
• Add garlic later: Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
• Deglaze skillet: Add white wine - it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.
• Make creamy sauce: Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.
• Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, for people to help themselves (or transfer to serving platter, if you prefer). Alternatively, serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over and garnish with more chives.
• Sides: Ideal served with mashed potato or rice - something to soak in that amazing sauce! See Note 5 for suggestions.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS WITH EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high; swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes a side; transfer to a plate. Add mushrooms to skillet, season, and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add shallots and remaining 1 tablespoon oil; cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir in mustard, broth, and noodles; bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 3 minutes. Uncover; stir in cream cheese. Cook, stirring, until noodles are tender and sauce coats a spoon, about 3 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and cook through, about 1 minute more. Serve, sprinkled with parsley.

• Cook 3 minutes on each side.
• In another large preheated skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and add the mushrooms.

• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the mushroom skillet, then add the flour.
• Cook for 1 minute and whisk in 1 1/2 cups chicken stock, the heavy cream and Dijon mustard.
• While the mushroom skillet is coming up to a bubble, add remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock to the skillet with the chicken and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen up the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.
• Transfer chicken and the liquid to the skillet with the mushrooms.
• Stir to combine, and cook about 1 minute more, or until thick.
• Drain and then return the noodles to the pot and add the 2 tablespoons of butter a little salt, pepper, chives, and parsley and stir to melt the butter.
