Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (600 grams / 21.16 ounces)
- 4 rashers back bacon, sliced
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 250 grams (8.82 ounces) button or chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, crushed or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 400 milliliters (13.53 fluid ounces) chicken stock
- 4 tablespoons reduced-fat creme fraiche
- 2 teaspoons plain flour
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat skillet to medium-high, coating lightly with oil. Sear chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken and set aside on a clean plate, maintaining its warmth.
- In the same skillet, render bacon until crisp, then add chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until vegetables caramelize and develop deep, rich color.
- Sprinkle flour and minced garlic over the vegetable mixture, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour chicken stock into the skillet, whisking constantly to prevent lumps and create a smooth, velvety sauce.
- Gently nestle seared chicken back into the sauce, allowing it to simmer for 4-5 minutes until heated through and sauce slightly thickens.
- Reduce heat to low, carefully incorporate creme fraiche, ensuring sauce remains creamy without curdling.
- Let sauce develop flavors for an additional 2 minutes, then plate with complementary side dishes like creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or roasted seasonal vegetables.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is at room temperature before searing to promote even cooking and golden-brown exterior.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a perfect crispy skin.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for consistent heat distribution and better browning of meat and vegetables.
- Substitute creme fraiche with Greek yogurt or light cream for lower-fat options without compromising rich flavor.
