Want meat in a creamy sauce? Well here is a very tasty creamy recipe that does not disappoint with chicken breasts and cooking cream. I made this recipe with risotto with peas (recipe).

Ingredients for 4 servings

  • 1.5 tablespoons of sunflower or olive oil.
  • Small onion.
  • 3dcl of cooking cream.
  • Cheese spread.
  • Salt (to taste).
  • Freshly ground pepper (to taste).
  • 500g of boneless and skinless chicken breasts.
  • 2 tablespoons of coarse or fine ground red pepper (to taste).
  • Basil (to taste).

Process

  1. Peel the onion and finely chop it.
  2. Cut the chicken meat into small bite-sized pieces.
  3. Heat oil in a pan, add the chopped onion and fry until it turns glassy with a light brown color.
  4. Add the meat, season with a little salt and pepper and fry together with the onion until the meat changes color (whitish color).
  5. Season with ground paprika, basil, pepper or spices of your choice and fry for another 1 to 2 minutes stirring constantly untill spices smell strongly.
  6. Pour the cream into the pan and stir, scrape (with wood utencil) up the caramelized pieces from the bottom that formed during frying if necessary.
  7. Now cook slowly at a low temperature for about 20 minutes. Add a little water if necessary.
  8. Remove the pan to the side, add the cheese spread and stir until it is completely dissolved in the sauce.

Place the dish on a plate. You can also add for example risotto with peas (recipe), mashed potatoes or something else.
