Ingredients Needed

• 1 tsp olive oil (for brushing or spraying)
• 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (around 600g/1lb 5oz), sliced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 4 rashers back bacon, smoked or unsmoked, thinly sliced
• 250g/9oz button mushrooms, chestnut or white, thickly sliced
• 2 tsp plain flour
• 1 tsp garlic powder or 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 400ml/14fl oz chicken stock, made with 1 stock cube
• 4 tbsp (around 50g/1¾oz) reduced fat crème fraîche

How To Make Chicken Supreme

1. Prepare Chicken: Brush or spray a large non-stick frying pan with a little oil. Add the chicken pieces and season with freshly ground black pepper. Fry for 3–5 minutes over high heat, turning once or twice, until lightly browned on both sides and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
2. Cook Vegetables: Return the pan to the heat and brush or spray with a little more oil. Add the onion, bacon, and mushrooms, and fry over high heat for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
3. Make Sauce: Sprinkle over the flour and garlic powder (or crushed garlic) and stir well. Gradually add the stock, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens, stirring regularly.
4. Finish Dish: Reduce the heat, stir in the crème fraîche, and heat through for a few seconds until bubbling.
5. Serve: Serve with lots of vegetables and small portions of freshly cooked rice or potatoes.

Recipe Tips

• Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh chicken and mushrooms for the best flavor and texture. Fresh ingredients make a noticeable difference in taste.
• Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Fry the chicken until just cooked through to keep it tender and juicy. Overcooking can make it dry.
• Stir the Sauce Constantly: When adding the stock, stir continuously to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth sauce. This helps the sauce thicken evenly.
• Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasoning with more pepper or salt as needed. This ensures the dish is perfectly flavored.
• Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve the Chicken Supreme right after cooking. This keeps the sauce creamy and the chicken warm.

How To Store And Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Chicken Supreme cool until it reaches room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It will keep well for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Allow the Chicken Supreme to cool to room temperature before placing it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. To thaw, move it from the freezer to the fridge overnight before reheating.
• Reheat: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the Chicken Supreme in an oven-safe dish and cover it with foil to prevent drying out. Heat for about 15–20 minutes, or until warmed through.
