Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts about 150 grams each
- 120 grams mushrooms Porcini, fresh or frozen, chopped (or any mushrooms you have), 1 cup
- 360 grams buckwheat 2 cups
- 1 onion large, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 120 grams heavy cream ½ cup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- thyme and parsley fresh, for garnish, optional
- 240 grams broth or stock for the sauce, 1 cup
Instructions
- Rinse the buckwheat with cold water until the water runs clear.. Then, boil in water for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until they begin to brown.
- Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan. Cook for a few minutes on one side. Spread about 2 tablespoons of mustard on the uncooked side of the chicken, then flip them over.
- Add the broth or stock and heavy cream around the chicken. Stir to combine. Sprinkle thyme over the chicken and add parsley. Let the sauce simmer and thicken slightly, coating the chicken.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the creamy chicken over or next to the cooked buckwheat. Garnish with more parsley if desired.
Notes
- Be sure to sear the chicken on both sides before adding the sauce. This helps lock in the juices, ensuring your chicken remains tender and flavorful.
- Since mushrooms and broth can vary in saltiness, always taste your sauce before serving and adjust the salt and pepper as needed to get the perfect balance.
