Instructions:
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the leek.
- Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Trim the green beans.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
