If you want to cook unusual dishes that can be compared to restaurant delicacies, then recipes using chicken, mushrooms and cream are ideal. The cooking process will take no more than 1 hour. But the result is a real masterpiece.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
Champignons for cooking various dishes are best bought at the store, as they contain less harmful substances. This is due to the fact that fungi growing in nature absorb all the harmful substances contained in soil and air.
Did you know? Some of the most expensive cosmetics contain champignon extract. They are a powerful tool in the fight against facial wrinkles, loss of skin tone and inflammation.
When buying mushrooms, carefully inspect them, taking into account the following features:
- Colour. Fresh mushrooms are characterized by a white or cream shade. If dark spots appear on them, it is better not to buy such fruiting bodies, since they began to deteriorate;
- the scent. Champignons are characterized by a pleasant, not sharp smell, which only enhances the appetite. If you feel a chemical rich aroma, then the fruiting bodies are no longer suitable for use and can be life threatening;
- surface. Ceps have a frosted hat and a leg. Glossy gloss indicates corrupted fruit bodies.
Chicken breast should be selected by smell and color. The aroma should be characteristic of fresh meat, without harshness and rottenness. The correct fillet has a slightly pinkish tint. The presence of white or greenish spots indicates expired goods, and it should not be bought.
The preparation of the ingredients is as follows:
- mushrooms and meat should be kept under running water for about 5 minutes. This will wash away all dirt and bacteria;
- clean the fillet from the film and cartilage (if any);
- remove the peel and bottom of the leg from champignons.
Important! If you suffer from individual intolerance to any ingredients, you can replace them. Quite often, instead of cream and sour cream, homemade mayonnaise is used, which does not greatly change the taste of the dish.
