Chicken fillet in cream in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to stew chicken fillet in cream in a frying pan? Nothing could be easier! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can replace the chicken fillet with thigh meat or other parts of the chicken. You can simply cut a small chicken weighing up to 1 kg into portions. But keep in mind that meat on the bone needs to be stewed a little longer than fillet. In addition to the spices indicated in the recipe, you can use other spices to your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken fillet and dry. Cut each fillet into 2-3 pieces depending on size. Sprinkle the chicken with paprika, salt and pepper.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion and cut into half rings or small cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Chop the garlic to your taste - finely or coarsely. If you don’t like to taste pieces of garlic in your dishes, you can add whole cloves, which can be removed at the end of cooking.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a frying pan over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil and butter. Add chicken, onion and garlic.

6. STEP 6

   

   Fry, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or longer until lightly golden brown.

7. STEP 7

   

   You can use cream of any fat content. I have 10 percent. An important life hack: to prevent the cream from curdling into flakes during stewing, I advise you to stir 1 tsp in it. cornstarch (or 1/2 tsp flour or potato starch).

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour cold cream with starch into the pan with the chicken. Sprinkle everything with paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything carefully.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cover the pan with a lid and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes or a little longer until the chicken is cooked. But keep in mind that the starch will slightly thicken your sauce, so you can dilute the sauce with cream or milk in the process to the consistency you need. Bon appetit!

Chicken fillet in cream in a frying pan is an excellent option for a delicious quick dinner. My fillet weighed 400 grams. Instead of cream, I took 15% sour cream, diluting it a little with water. There was only potato starch, so I took it half and half with flour, according to the author’s advice. I prepared the fillet following the recommendations written in the recipe. The chicken turned out very tender, soft, and juicy. Every piece just melted in your mouth. The family also appreciated it, everyone really liked this dinner. I served chicken fillet with boiled potatoes. Maria, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!
