Ingredients (serves 2):
- 2 chicken breasts cubed
- 1 medium onion finely diced
- 200g of sliced or quartered mushrooms
- 1 tsp crushed garlic
- 2 Tbsp of all-purpose flour (or coconut flour for a gluten conscious alternative)
- 1 cup of low sodium chicken stock
- ½ cup of cream
- 1 cup of grated white cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ cup of chopped fresh basil
- 1 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
Method:
- Add the olive oil to a large pan over a medium to high heat and add the onions and cubed chicken.
- Allow the chicken to brown on all sides and add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms start to brown making sure to stir occasionally to avoid any burning.
- Add the flour or coconut flour and stir to ensure all the other ingredients are well coated then quickly pour in the chicken stock.
- Turn down the heat to a low-medium setting and stir until the flour and stock are well mixed then allow to simmer for a minute.
- Add the cream, herbs, and cheeses to the pan and allow to cook for another five minutes.
- Serve over a starch or starch substitute of your choice and enjoy.
The wonderful thing about this recipe is the element of simplicity. If you'd prefer a more vegetarian-friendly, substitute the chicken for lentils or chickpeas and use vegetable stock. Whatever you decide to serve this dish over, it's guaranteed to please everyone.
