Tender meat and aromatic mushrooms in an enveloping sauce with a soft creamy taste - this is how I got fricassee of chicken with mushrooms. For cooking, I took 200 g of chicken breast, calculated the amount of other products using the calculator on the website. I stewed the meat with mushrooms in homemade sour cream, which I used cream instead. To make more delicious sauce, I increased the amount of sour cream. First, I put 100 g in the pan, stirred, then added another 4 tbsp. spoons. I used Provençal herbs and ground red pepper for spices. The dish turned out juicy and very tasty. And the garlic added directly to the plate added spice and made the taste of the fricassee more vibrant. I really liked it, and my husband immediately asked for more. Thank you so much for the recipe!
