Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 125 g Chestnut mushrooms sliced or halved if small, or 1 cup
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 Small onion chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ kg Chicken breasts skinless, boneless, bite-sized sliced (or 1 lb)
  • 70 ml Dry white wine or 1/4 cup
  • 85 ml Chicken stock or 1/3 cup
  • 1 tsp Whole grain mustard
  • 1 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 250 ml Sour cream or smetana, or 1 cup
  • 1 tbsp Parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large deep pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat oil and butter in a large pan, then brown sliced chestnut mushrooms over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until golden. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for another 5 minutes before removing to a separate plate.
  2. In the same pan, brown bite-sized chicken breasts with a pinch of salt over high heat for 5-7 minutes. Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any brown bits. Stir in chicken stock, mustard, tomato paste, and bay leaf.
  3. Return the cooked mushrooms and onions to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and stir in sour cream and chopped parsley. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Notes

Do not rush browning the mushrooms for best flavor. Be sure to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan after adding wine, as this adds depth to the sauce.
