Chicken with mushrooms is a classic and comforting dish that combines the juiciness of chicken with the earthiness and smooth texture of mushrooms. This recipe is a clear example of how simple ingredients can be combined to create a delicious and satisfying dish. The key to preparing exceptional chicken with mushrooms lies in the quality of the ingredients and the proper cooking technique.

In this recipe, chicken breast fillets are perfectly browned in a skillet, giving them a crispy exterior and a tender and juicy interior. Mushrooms are sautéed together with onion and garlic, adding depth of flavor and a comforting texture to the dish.

The chicken broth and white wine sauce (optional) bring a touch of acidity and complexity, while the cream (optional) adds a creamy richness that harmoniously brings all the flavors together.

Here is a delicious recipe for preparing chicken with mushrooms:

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breast fillets

• 200g sliced mushrooms

• 1 large onion, julienne

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1/2 cup white wine (optional)

• 1/2 cup cream (optional)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

• Season the chicken breast fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

• Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast fillets and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

• In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and then add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

• Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.

• If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and let it reduce by half, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.

• Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.

• If you decide to use cream, add it to the skillet and mix well with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until heated through.

• Place the chicken fillets back in the skillet and heat them for a few more minutes, stirring them to coat them with the sauce.

• Serve the chicken with mushrooms hot, accompanied by rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta if desired. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.

Enjoy this delicious chicken with mushrooms, perfect for a comforting and tasty meal!

Ingredients and Recipe Notes

• Cool Whip: This recipe calls for Cool Whip, but you can also use homemade whipped cream for a different twist. Just keep in mind that homemade whipped cream may not be as stable as Cool Whip, so adjust the quantity accordingly.

• Cherries: While cherry pie filling is the star of this recipe, you can get creative and try other pie fillings like apple or blueberry for a different flavor.

• Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese by microwaving it in 10-second intervals until it feels soft and creamy.

• Crust: The graham cracker crust can be easily substituted with other cookies like Oreos or Nilla Wafers for a unique twist.

How To Make Cherry Delight

1. Mix the crust ingredients and press them into a baking dish. Bake until golden.
2. Cream the cream cheese and sour cream together. Add confectioner’s sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth.
