Chicken fillet with champignons in a frying pan
I don’t recommend washing mushrooms; they will become watery and not tasty. I wipe with wet wipes or towels
If you did not buy them in a closed container and obvious traces of soil are visible, then remove the top layer with a knife
Shred the mushrooms into thin slices
Cut the chicken into strips
Cut the onion into quarter rings, add crushed garlic, fry in a frying pan with butter until golden brown.
Add the breast and fry until all the pieces become matte
When the chicken turns white, add mushrooms, salt and pepper to taste.
Mix thoroughly, wait until the champignons begin to release moisture
To give the dish a soft and delicate taste, add a piece of butter
While stirring, wait until all the liquid has evaporated and the food has acquired a ruddy, appetizing color.
Add sour cream and a glass of hot water
If you want a thick sauce, then dissolve 1 tablespoon of flour in a glass of cold water.
Cover the pan with a lid and leave to simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes.
Well, that's all, the tender fillet in sour cream and cream sauce is ready. At the same time, I boiled rice as a side dish and served a delicious and quick dinner.

Selection and preparation of ingredients
The main ingredients for any recipe for this type of dish will be mushrooms (usually champignons) and chicken breast, seasoned with a sauce based on heavy or medium fat cream. Of course, you can only get a tasty and healthy dish if each of these ingredients is fresh, so before purchasing you should check all the expiration dates of the selected products, inspect the meat and make sure there is no unpleasant odor.
This also applies to dairy products - cream or hard cheese, as well as dried fruits or vegetables, which are often used to brighten the taste of the finished dish. Before slicing, fresh vegetables must be peeled, and the meat must be rinsed under running water and dried with paper towels. The method of grinding each ingredient and its further culinary processing depend on the requirements of the selected recipe.
Important! It is advisable to wash mushrooms immediately before cooking, since once they are wet, you will no longer be able to keep the food fresh for a long time.
