This is an easy midweek meal that we eat with broccoli and rice. We make it a really fast meal by using ready chopped onion, and chicken mini fillets. This is from the BBC site, you can see the original recipe here.
Ingredients
- spray olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts, skinless and trimmed (200g/7oz each)
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 1 fat garlic clove, crushed
- 100g/3½oz mixed or chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 250ml/9fl oz chicken stock (made with ½ a stock cube)
- salt and pepper
- 100ml/3½fl oz half-fat crème fraîche
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
- 300g/10½oz broccoli, steamed, to serve
Method
-
Heat the spray oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the chicken breasts and fry for about 10 minutes, or until well browned on both sides. Set aside.
-
In the same pan, add a little more oil and fry the onion for 2–3 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic and fry for another 1–2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and fry until golden-brown. If they start to stick, add a little stock to the pan.
-
Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the stock. Bring to the boil. Cover with a tight fitting lid, lower the heat and simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Meanwhile, cook the broccoli in boiling salted water until tender.
-
Stir the crème fraîche and parsley into the sauce and serve immediately with the broccoli.
If using mini fillets, reduce cooking time in step 3.
