Ingredients
Step-by-step recipe for pasta with chicken in creamy sauce

- Melt 2 tbsp in a frying pan. l. butter, this is about 60 g. Then add 1 tbsp. l. olive oil and 1 clove of finely chopped garlic. Fry it for about 1 minute.

How to choose ingredients
- Most often, chilled and frozen chicken is found on the shelves. Each of these types of meat has its own advantages and disadvantages. Frozen chicken has a much longer shelf life: from 5 to 15 months, depending on the availability of packaging. Also, freezing kills harmful microorganisms, but the structure of the meat and some taste properties may change. In addition, unscrupulous sellers often change the expiration date of an expired product. Although this meat lasts longer, its shelf life does not last forever. But chilled meat can be stored for no more than five days. Its main advantage is freshness. The expiration date of this product can also be faked. The smell and sticky skin will give away stale chicken.
- Real spaghetti is between 35 and 40 cm long. Anything longer or shorter cannot be called spaghetti. These pasta products should contain only flour and water. If they contain other ingredients, then this is a violation of the recipe. Class A spaghetti is considered the best; it is made from durum wheat. High-quality pasta should be whole. If many of them are broken, it means they were stored or transported incorrectly. Don't buy this product.
- The chicken broth can be replaced with plain water, vegetable broth, or artificial broth made from chicken cubes. I would recommend sticking with the first two options.
- Choose heavy cream and be sure to check the expiration date. Cream is an exclusively dairy product; it should not contain thickeners or vegetable fats.
- When choosing milk, also pay attention to the expiration date. Milk can be pasteurized, melted or sterilized. When produced correctly, all these types of milk are healthy and recommended for consumption.

- Take a heat-resistant mold and coat it with a thin layer of vegetable oil. Place the onion and chicken into the pan.
- Pour boiling water over the dried porcini mushrooms and let them swell well. Carefully remove the mushrooms from the resulting broth with a slotted spoon.
- Finely chop the porcini mushrooms and place in the pan on top of the chicken and onions.
- Take a few spoons of the broth left after the mushrooms. You need to take the “water” carefully so as not to pick up sand, which always happens after dry mushrooms. Pour the broth into a new bowl, add cream to it.

Chicken in cream with mushrooms can be cooked not only on the stove - gas or electric. A multicooker can handle the stewing process perfectly. To do this, you first need to fry the necessary ingredients in the “Frying” mode, then pour them with creamy sauce, and then set the “Stew” mode and cook the dish for another 30-40 minutes.
Instead of cream, you can use other dairy products as a sauce:
- This could be sour cream, which will give the dish a slight sourness. To do this, you need to dilute the sour cream with water, add salt and other spices to it.
- You can also use milk, but then it is better to make “Béchamel” from it. Heat the flour in large quantities butter, add milk, heat the sauce, stirring thoroughly to avoid lumps.
If chicken breast is considered too dry and lean meat in your family, then use any other part of the chicken. For example, you can separate the thigh or leg from the bones. It will be very tasty if you use a mix of “white” and “red” meat.
For special occasions, more complex dishes are prepared. Chicken in creamy sauce in a frying pan, so tasty and aromatic that it would be a sin not to serve it festive table. Surprisingly, it is prepared quickly and easily. Most of the time the chicken will simmer in the frying pan without your participation.

- The flour is fried in a regular dry frying pan with a non-stick coating or with the addition of oil.
- Then cream and spices are added to the hot mixture.
The same sauce can sparkle with different flavors, sometimes surprising and unique.
Each housewife has her own signature recipe. One with cherry tomatoes, the other adds porcini mushrooms for taste, the third - rice to serve the second dish immediately with a side dish.
But not everyone knows that cream sauce can be made without cream. And I will definitely tell you how to do this.

- 1 tbsp. cream;
- 1 onion;
- 2 tbsp. l. flour;
- 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
- 1 tsp. dry Provençal herbs;
- ½ tsp. black pepper;
- ½ tsp. salt.
Stages of work:
- Peel the onion and cut into thin half rings.
- We wash the mushrooms in running water, remove the film, if necessary, and then cut into strips.
- First fry the onion in a frying pan, and after a few minutes add the mushrooms.
- Cook until excess liquid evaporates.
- At this time, you can chop the chicken breast into cubes and add it to the mushrooms.
- When the color of the meat brightens, add spices, salt and wheat flour. Mix the ingredients intensively.
- Pour heavy cream over the base of the dish.
- Simmer until the chicken is creamy mushroom sauce will not become soft.
We do this stage over medium heat for no more than 10 minutes.
