Tools You Will Need:
Directions:
Step 1) Brown the chicken in the Nuovva® stainless steel frying pan, remove from the pan and then put it to one side.
Step 2) In the same frying pan, make the stock using the stock cubes and boiling water. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan.
Step 3) In a large saucepan, fry the onion and garlic for a few minutes. Add the mushrooms and allow to cook for 2 minutes.
Step 4) Add the chicken and stock to the onion and mushroom mixture. Place the lid on and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes on a medium heat.
Step 5) Turn down the heat, remove the lid and add the creme friache and stir.
Step 6) Leave to simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly. Season to taste.

Tip Box - Why Nuovva® Shallow Stainless Steel Cookware Set Works Best
A stainless steel frying pan distributes heat evenly across the base, ensuring the chicken cooks gently while the mushrooms release their full flavour into the sauce. The pan’s wide surface allows for easy stirring and thickening of the creamy sauce without sticking or burning, giving you a perfectly cooked casserole every time. Gentle, consistent heat is the secret to tender chicken, velvety sauce and rich, layered flavours.
