Chicken in butter and cream with Mushroom
bonjour !
Inspired by chef Julia Child’s cooking that had well celebrated in the
movie “Julie & Julia” ,I decided to plan a French combo meal. (Being my favorite cuisine, I have plans to
buy Julia Child’s cook book “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”) You know,how good movies affect us positively. :-)
So, as a result, here I am ,to share with you all, this
recipe of ‘Chicken in butter and cream.’
I have followed the traditional recipe (courtesy: videojug) in all the ways, except for the measurements
of ingredients.This recipe,I found is divine,with rich, creamy sauce with tender juicy boneless chicken.
Recipe
demands a lot of butter and cream, so if you are trying this, you have to
forget your diet rules for one day.
Mushroom is really nutritious though some people are
allergic to this fungus.
I
recommend a special method of cleaning for Mushrooms.
- Wash mushrooms under running water, carefully,
not allowing them to disintegrate.
- Now coat mushrooms with salt,
turmeric and all purpose flour. Keep aside for 5 minutes. Wash them with
fresh water and Voilà , there you are! Mushrooms are ready to go into any gravy.
