Steps:
- Rinse your chicken breast and tap dry with a kitchen towel. Cut your chicken breast into bite-sized striped. Keep aside
- Heat up a pan with the butter and add your sliced onion. Cook the onion soft and translucent.
- Add your sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook the mushroom until they have reduced in size as seen in the video.
- Next, keep on medium to high heat and pour the wine over the mushroom. This is called to deglaze. The wine will evaporate so stir cook quickly.
- Season with salt, black pepper, paprika and add a piece of bay leaf.
- Now pour the broth and the cream into the pan over the mushrooms and mix it all well.
- At this stage add your chicken strips. We add them now because they kind of get poached in the sauce and they won't overcook and get chewy but remain tender.
- Mix your chicken geschnetzeltes into the mushroom sauce and turn them at some point so that they get cooked on all sides.
- Cook until chicken is done but doesn't overcook!
- garnish with freshly chopped chive pieces.

Steps:
- Season each side of each pounded chicken breast with Italian Seasoning and salt and pepper.
- Combine flour and grated parmesan in a shallow bowl. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons butter and stir/melt.
- Cook the chicken (in batches if necessary) for 4-5 minutes per side or until its fully cooked (165F in the center and no longer pink) and browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Cover with foil.
- Wipe the skillet clean and return the skillet to medium high heat and add the remaining ¼ cup butter. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan as the butter melts. The brown bits hold a lot of flavor, so no need to remove.
- Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
- Whisk in the flour and allow to thicken for approximately 1 minute.
- Whisk in the heavy cream, chicken broth, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add the spinach and reduce heat to simmer. Allow to cook until the sauce slightly thickens and the spinach wilts.
- Add the chicken back into the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce. Allow to continue to simmer until the chicken is heated through, 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine chicken (breast-side up), chicken broth, water, Mexican crema, tomatoes, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot, ensuring all ingredients are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Turn chicken over using a pair of tongs. Cover stockpot and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from mixture and set aside.
- Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cut chicken into serving-size pieces and return to stockpot; stir in chopped cilantro and cook until chicken is warmed through, about 5 minutes.

ZURCHER GESCHNETZELTES (ZURICH-STYLE VEAL STRIPS IN CREAM SAUCE)
This is a mouthwatering Swiss specialty dish originating in the town of Zurich, Switzerland. Typically served with Rosti (Swiss hashbrowns), but equally good with mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or dumplings. There are many versions of Geschnetzeltes that can be found throughout the region in restaurants and in home kitchens, alike. I particularly like this version with lemon and parsley.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the flour over the veal strips, and coat well.

- Add remaining butter and oil to pan and sauté the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes. Now stir in the mushrooms and lemon zest and cook until mushrooms begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the wine to deglaze the bottom of the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Stir in the veal (and juices!) and cook over low heat for another 10 minutes.
- Stir in the cream and season to taste with paprika, salt and pepper. Let bubble for a few minutes until hot, then stir in the lemon juice and serve sprinkled with fresh snipped parsley.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce, and high-quality meat and poultry.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a good quality cream: The cream sauce is the star of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream will give you the best results.
- Season the sauce to taste: Once you have made the sauce, taste it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or nutmeg.
- Serve the dish immediately: Geschnetzeltes is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken will start to dry out if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Geschnetzeltes is a classic Swiss dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The tender chicken, creamy sauce, and flavorful mushrooms are a perfect combination. Whether you serve it over rice, noodles, or potatoes, this dish is sure to be a hit.
