* RECIPE *
INGREDIENTS: (2-4 servings)
2 chicken breasts
200g/7 ounces mushrooms
5-6 cloves garlic (minced)
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1 medium onion
1/2 cup chicken stock, broth or water
1/2 cup heavy cream (sub fresh cream/creme fraiche)
1-2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Butter
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp fresh parsley (1 tsp dried)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (sub with preferred cheese)
Salt and pepper (as needed)
Optional: 1 chicken stock cube (if using water)

PROCESS:
Prep:
1. Slice chicken breasts into 1/2 inch thick filets
2. Marinate with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper for 15-30 minutes
3. Clean and slice the mushrooms into chunky pieces
4. Finely chop onion, garlic and parsley
Cooking:
1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and infuse it with 1 crushed garlic clove
2. Increase heat to medium high and sear the chicken breasts for 2 minutes per side
3. Reduce flame to low, cover the pan with a lid and let the chicken cook for 3 minutes
4. Take chicken off the pan and let it rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through by now. If you need to cut the chicken, you may do so after it has rested
5. In the same pan, increase flame to medium high and add the mushrooms in a single layer. Add more oil if needed
6. Let the mushrooms brown well while stirring occasionally
7. When the mushrooms have browned, reduce flame to low and add 1 tbsp cold butter. This will bring down the temperature of the pan and keep onion and garlic from burning
8. When the butter has melted add the onions. Sauté until translucent
9. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds
10. Add the chicken broth/stock/water and herbs
11. Increase the flame and let it reduce until half
12. Reduce flame to low and pour in the cream, pepper and grated cheese. Mix well and switch off the flame
13. Add the chicken breasts and let it sit in the sauce for about 10 minutes before serving

SUBSTITUTES:
• No stock?
You can use stock cubes dissolved in 1 cup of water. Or use plain water but the flavour will be slightly mellowed

• No oregano/parsley?
You can use any herbs of your choice

• No heavy cream?
Substitute with fresh cream/creme fraiche. Evaporated milk or half and half can also be used. The duration of cooking will need to be altered until it reaches a desirable consistency

• No parmesan cheese?
Any cheese that will melt smoothly can be used. Alter the quantity as needed

• What to pair with the dish?
Pasta, steamed veggies, mashed potatoes, rice or crusty bread.

TIPS:
• Chicken stock can be substituted with white wine as well
• Reduce the liquid before adding cream
• The flame needs to be very gentle when adding the cream and cheese so it doesn’t split and curdle
• It's okay to wash mushrooms as long as it's quick. I've used washed mushrooms in the video and they did not turn soggy
• How to get browned/caramelized mushrooms rather than soggy mushrooms?
- The heat must be on medium high/high while cooking the mushrooms
- Do not add salt until the mushrooms have browned and caramelized
- Use a wide pan so the moisture escapes quickly
