Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Trim the chicken breasts, pat dry, and cut into thin strips or cubes. Place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Heat a little oil in a skillet, sear the chicken on all sides, and add the button mushrooms. Once the chicken and mushrooms are browned, add the cream cheese, finely chopped tomato, and chili pepper. Simmer together.

    Pour in the milk and the bouillon dissolved in a little water, then continue to simmer. Once the chicken is cooked through, taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Tip: Melt the cream cheese a spoonful at a time over low heat and add the milk gradually for a smooth sauce. Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator when you start cutting the chicken so it softens and melts faster.
