Preparing the Chicken with Mushrooms and Curry

Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients

We start by preparing the ingredients. Rinse the chicken breast under cold running water and dry it with a paper towel. Cut it into cubes of about 2-3 cm for even cooking.

Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly. They are the main ingredient that will add a delicious texture to the dish.

Step 2: Cooking the Chicken

Place the non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Do not add oil, as the chicken breast will release enough natural fat. Arrange the chicken cubes in the pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and slightly browned.

Step 3: Adding the Mushrooms

Once the chicken starts to brown, add the mushrooms. Mix well and let them cook together for about 10 minutes. The mushrooms will release water, which will help keep the meat juicy.

Step 4: Seasoning

After the mushrooms are well cooked, sprinkle curry-flavored salt over the mixture. If desired, you can also add a dash of black pepper for a more intense flavor. Mix well and let everything cook for another 3 minutes for the flavors to blend perfectly.

Step 5: Serving

The Chicken with Mushrooms and Curry is now ready! Serve the dish warm, alongside creamy mashed potatoes and a fresh seasonal salad. This combination not only brings a contrast of textures but also a palette of flavors that will delight any table.
