* Chicken Piccata with Mushrooms


Ingredients


For the Chicken Marinate

1 kg boneless whole chicken breasts
2 onions, sliced
3 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 tsp chicken spices
Salt & pepper

For Sauteing the Chicken

2 cups flour
1/2 tbsp paprika
Butter & oil

For the cream

Sliced Mushrooms, as much as you prefer
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tbsp flour
Oil & butter
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Pinch of nutmeg
Juice of one big lemon


Directions

For marinating the chicken, butterfly your chicken breasts and beat them flat a little bet with something heavy. Season with all your spices and cover with onions and let them marinate in the fridge for at least one hour and preferably over night.

For frying the chicken, mix the flour with the paprika and remove all onion sliced from your chicken. Dust the chicken with the flour mixer and shallow fry in in oil and butter. After your chicken acquires a nice golden surface, remove it from the pan and add it to a baking dish.

Now for the sauce, in the same pan add some more butter and saute your mushrooms for 2 minutes only adding to them the garlic, black pepper and nutmeg. Add the flour and mix well until the butter and oil absorbs all the flour. Add the chicken stock, the milk and the cream and bring to a very soft boil seasoning with all spices. Remove the sauce from heat and steer in your lemon juice. Cover your chicken in the baking dish with the mushroom sauce and let it bake in the over for 15 minutes.
