Description
A delicious creamy chicken dish with bell peppers and mushrooms, perfect served over rice or toasted bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 cup bell peppers (chopped, mixed colors)
- 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through (7-10 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté chopped bell peppers and mushrooms until tender (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Sprinkle flour over veggies while stirring to create a roux. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Follow with heavy cream and allow to simmer until thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet and season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat.
- Serve over toasted bread or fluffy rice, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- This dish can be enhanced with fresh parsley or parmesan cheese for additional flavor.
- Serving it over rice gets your carbs in, while toasted bread adds a nice crunch.
