CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE
Recipe video above. The creamy mushroom sauce here is a cut above the usual basic recipes, thanks to the additions of wine, parmesan and chicken stock. It turns this quick chicken dinner into a meal that's both worthy and elegant enough to serve to company!It's an excellent sauce to serve with chicken breast, which is very lean and doesn't actually have very much flavour. Also, the lightly-floured crust on the chicken makes it nice and crispy, giving the sauce something to cling on to. So don't skip it!

Steps:
- Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
- Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.
- Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.
- Cook mushrooms: In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
- Add garlic later: Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
- Deglaze skillet: Add white wine - it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.
- Make creamy sauce: Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.
- Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, for people to help themselves (or transfer to serving platter, if you prefer). Alternatively, serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over and garnish with more chives.
- Sides: Ideal served with mashed potato or rice - something to soak in that amazing sauce! See Note 5 for suggestions.

EASY CREAMY CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS
This is one of those meals I fix when I haven't got much time. It uses ingredients I usually always have at hand. My BF loves it. Serve with pasta, rice or potatoes or just some crusty bread to mop up the sauce. This is enough for two people, but can easily be doubled. Or if you want some greens, just add frozen peas or some steamed broccoli florets for the last few minutes.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat; do not use a nonstick skillet for this sauce. Spray lightly with cooking spray; add mushrooms. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms just begin to release their juices. Add garlic and stir. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released more juices and garlic is nicely cooked. Transfer mushroom/garlic mixture with juices to a bowl and set aside.
- Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel; you do not want burnt garlic bits in your sauce. Melt butter in the skillet over medium-low heat until beginning to bubble and foam. Sprinkle in flour and whisk continuously to form a roux. Once the roux has darkened slightly, add milk, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking smooth between each addition.
- When all of the milk has been incorporated, add mushroom mixture and juices back into the pan and bring to a very slow simmer. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If possible, try to use organic or local ingredients.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the sauce from sticking.
- Cook the chicken and mushrooms thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through before adding it to the sauce. The mushrooms should also be cooked until they are tender.
- Add the cream and cheese slowly: When adding the cream and cheese to the sauce, do it slowly and whisk constantly. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Season to taste: Once the sauce is finished, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to your liking.
