Chicken and mushrooms in white wine sauce

Meat - Chicken and mushrooms in white wine sauce by Daria E. - Recipia

Chicken and mushrooms in white wine sauce simmer covered for ten minutes, then the sauce is thickened with sour cream. The tomatoes and pepper stay in the wine sauce, while the chicken is diced and browned separately. I cut the mushrooms into large pieces, about the size of half a walnut. Preparation: 15 minutes. Cooking: 32 minutes. Resting: 15 minutes. Total time: 62 minutes. Servings: 4. Approximately 370 kcal and 34 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 40 g butter
  • 1 red onion (150 g)
  • 1 head of garlic (50 g)
  • 600 g mushrooms
  • 1 bell pepper (150 g)
  • 500 g chicken breast
  • 2 medium tomatoes (300 g)
  • 50 ml tomato juice
  • 150 ml white wine
  • 45 g sour cream with at least 20% fat
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 15 g parsley

Preparation

1. Take 45 g sour cream with at least 20% fat out of the fridge 15 minutes before you start. Finely chop 1 red onion and 1 head of garlic, then roughly chop 600 g mushrooms and 1 bell pepper. 2. Melt 40 g butter in a pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring; the onion will become soft and translucent. 3. Add the mushrooms and bell pepper to the pan and cook for 7 minutes over medium heat, until the mushrooms soften and release their liquid. 4. Cut 500 g chicken breast into cubes about 2 cm in size. Brown them for 8 minutes in a separate nonstick pan, until the edges take on some color. 5. Transfer the chicken to the pan with the mushrooms. Dice 2 medium tomatoes, add them along with 50 ml tomato juice and 150 ml white wine, then cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes over medium heat, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. 6. Mix 45 g sour cream with a few spoonfuls of the hot sauce and pour it all into the pan. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, then let the sauce simmer gently for 3 minutes without boiling. Chop 15 g parsley and sprinkle it over the top.

Notes

Keeps in the fridge in a sealed container for up to three days; reheat over low heat, stirring. For a dairy-free version, swap the butter for 40 g cooking margarine and the sour cream for 45 g plant-based sour cream; the basic version contains dairy. Choose firm mushrooms with dry caps; you can quarter the large ones, while small ones cook faster. Chicken breast cubes larger than 2 cm will need a few extra minutes, until they are no longer pink in the center. Meaty tomatoes release less liquid, while very juicy ones thin the sauce. Finely chop the cloves from the whole head of garlic so they spread through the sauce and no large pieces remain. Add the wine before simmering; for an alcohol-free version, replace the 150 ml with the same amount of chicken stock. Serve the stew with soft mămăligă (Romanian polenta) or bread.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breast?

Yes. Cut 500 g boneless thighs into 2 cm cubes, brown them for 10 minutes and leave them in the sauce for 15 minutes, until tender.

Can I use canned tomatoes?

Yes, use 200 g chopped and drained tomatoes instead of the fresh ones. Do not add the liquid from the can.

How do I cook frozen mushrooms?

Thaw 500 g mushrooms and drain them well. Cook them for 5 minutes with the bell pepper, until the liquid they release evaporates.

What should I do if the sour cream curdles in the sauce?

Take the pan off the heat and stir 1 tablespoon warm water into the sauce. Then heat it over low heat without letting it boil.
