Decadent Creamy Chicken & Mushroom

I'm eager to avoid the supermarket as much as possible, during these crazy pandemic times. As such, I decided to raid the fridge and see what dregs were left, so I could push back a trip outside the house one day. 

Wella! The following dish was made. I don't measure, I'm one of those people, but have included a rough idea of what is needed.

You can serve this with whatever you choose, we did gluten free egg pasta, had nothing else left. 

INGREDIENTS:

600g chicken thigh, boneless and skin-off (approx. 4)

150g mushrooms, thinly sliced

75g bacon, diced

1 tbspn garlic powder

1 tbspn onion powder

25g butter

1/4 cup dry white wine

150ml thickened cream

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

METHOD:

Mix garlic and onion powders together, then sprinkle over chicken. Preheat a pan to medium heat and brown chicken. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180°C and put a baking tray in for chicken. 

Once chicken is browned, transfer to baking tray in oven to continue cooking (approx. 10 minutes). 

In the same pan, place a knob of butter and add mushrooms, cooking until golden. Transfer to a plate, then increase heat to medium-high and add bacon, cooking until starting to brown. Add gulp of wine and allow alcohol to cook off, then add mushrooms to the pan. Reduce heat to medium low and allow to simmer until wine has reduced. Add thickened cream and stir, then simmer until you're ready to serve. Sprinkle parmesan on top, add pasta (if using) and stir through. Otherwise, remove chicken from oven and serve, topping with the creamy sauce. 

Season to taste (I didn't need to) and enjoy! 😍

Best way to use scraps to create a delicious meal! I will be doing this again, serving with greens to absorb those tasty fats!
