Here’s how to make a quick, delicious and easy chicken in brandy cream sauce. You can make a low fat and healthy Chicken with brandy cream sauce by using low fat yogurt or fromage frais instead of cream. I love to eat this chicken recipe with noodles or pasta although my mother used to serve it to me with fried potatoes.
So here goes!
Chicken In Brandy Cream Sauce
Serves 4 people
Preparation Time 8 minutes
Cooking Time: 24 minutes
Ingredients for Quick Chicken With Brandy Cream Sauce:
0.6 kg boneless Chicken breasts - 4 chicken breasts (about 1 1/3 lb)
spoon of salt,
pinch of pepper
small glass of brandy
3 cups of mushrooms (about 1/4 kilo)
1 clove of fresh garlic
1/2 teaspoon of parsely
1/4 of a fresh lemon
5 spring onions or green onions, sliced or chopped up
1/2 cup of chicken stock (1-2 cubes with hot water)
1 large tub or half a cup of thick cream - whipping or double cream. You can use yogurt or fromage frais to create a low-fat chicken with brandy cream sauce dish.
1.5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (any olive oil will do really)
Serve on top of some freshly cooked noodles. A good pasta would be al-dente (firm) tagliatelle pasta.
Step One:
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or skillet and salt the pan lightly. Get a large saucepan and boil some salted water ready to put in the noodles/pasta/tagliatelle
Step Two:
Place the chicken in the pan and cook for 12-13 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. You will be able to tell that it is cooked because the juice will run clear when you pierce the middle of the chicken breast. Tip: You only need to turn the chicken once.
Step Three:
Now put the noodles or pasta in the boiling water.
Step Four
Add some salt, pepper and stir in the mushrooms, brandy, garlic clove and the chicken stock. Carry on cooking until the mushrooms looked cooked through and the liquid (stock and brandy) starts to almost evaporate entirely. A little liquid should remain - don’t over cook it and dry everything out!
Step Five
Add the cream slowly over a lower heat and stir continuously for about 2 minutes. Add the parsley and a little bit of black pepper. Remove chicken from heat.
Step Six
Remove the cooked pasta from the heat and drain.
Step Seven: Serve - place the chicken with brandy cream sauce on top of the pasta.
Enjoy!
