Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts
240g
2 cups potatoes
320g
1/3 cup sour cream
72g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1/2 cup mushrooms
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 leek
90g
1/2 cup white wine
120g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g
1 tsp mustard
5g
1 cup green beans
230g
2 tsp lemon juice
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the leek.
- Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Trim the green beans.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- In a medium pot, add the chopped potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and set aside.
3. Sauté the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a large pan, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sliced leek. Sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.
5. Make the Sauce:
- Pour 1/2 cup of white wine into the pan to deglaze, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom.
- Stir in the sour cream, heavy whipping cream, and 1 tsp of mustard. Mix well.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken.
6. Combine Everything:
- Add the cooked chicken breasts back into the pan, spooning some sauce over them. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Meanwhile, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and add them to the pan with the sauce, stirring to coat.
7. Finish and Serve:
- Drizzle 2 tsp of lemon juice over the entire dish for a burst of fresh flavor.
- Serve the chicken and mushrooms with the cooked potatoes and green beans on the side. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken for added richness.
8. Enjoy!
- Plate your Chicken with Mushrooms beautifully and enjoy your homemade meal.

Tips:

- 1: Ensure your chicken breasts are of uniform thickness for even cooking. You can pound them to an even thickness if needed.

- 2: Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor. Cremini or button mushrooms work well.

- 3: Deglaze the pan with white wine to add more depth to the sauce, making sure to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

- 4: Don't rush the sauce. Let it simmer lightly to thicken and allow the flavors to meld together.

- 5: For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken briefly in some lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil before cooking.

- 6: Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before sautéing them in butter for a bright, crisp-tender texture.

Cooking chicken with mushrooms results in a flavorful, creamy dish that's sure to please. The combination of tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a rich, creamy sauce creates a truly satisfying meal. Serve it up with a side of potatoes and green beans for a balanced and nutritious dinner that's perfect for any occasion.
