Ingredients for - Creamy Mushroom Chicken
How to cook deliciously - Creamy Mushroom Chicken
1. Stage
Sprinkle the chicken evenly with pepper. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chicken, and cook for 9 to 10 minutes per side until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the meat reads 165°F. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm. (Don't wipe the skillet clean.) Editor's Tip: You can keep the chicken warm in a preheated 200° oven. Place it on a baking sheet or oven-safe plate. Cover the plate with foil, and keep the chicken warm in the oven until ready to use.
2. Stage
Add the butter to the same skillet, and melt over medium heat. Add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, four to six minutes.
3. Stage
Sprinkle the mushrooms with flour, and stir until coated. Gradually add the milk. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about two minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Editor's Tip: In this step, the flour mixes with the fat (i.e., butter) to make a roux, which is the thickening agent of your gorgeous sauce. The milk adds liquid to the roux, working together to make a thick, luscious sauce or gravy.
4. Stage
Serve the sauce over the warm chicken. Sprinkle it evenly with the remaining cheese and the parsley.
