Cooking Chicken

  • Split the chicken breast by cutting into half horizontally. If the fillets are too thick pound them slightly.
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper and dust some flour, spread it with hand and repeat this for the other side too.
  • In a pan heat oil and butter over the medium heat. Add chicken and cook until chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken and cover it to keep warm.
  • In the same pan add butter and allow it to melt on medium high heat. Add garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are lightly brown.
  • Add chicken stock, mix and add cream. Stir it and add mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Allow the sauce to simmer until its slightly thickened. Return the chicken back into the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with any choice of your favourite herb fresh or dried.
  • Serve immediately with mash, rice or salad.

Notes

  • Use full fat cream, for low fat version evaporated milk or low fat cream can also be used.
