Chicken in creamy garlic mushroom sauce

• servings: Serves 4

Ingredients

4 chicken fillets

Salt and black pepper

100g plain flour

1½ tbsp olive oil

450g mushrooms, sliced

1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

1 x 150g package soft cheese with garlic and herbs, e.g Boursin

100ml milk

To serve:

Green vegetables

Mashed potato

Directions

1 Place the chicken fillets between two sheets of cling film and gently pound with a rolling pin until the meat is of uniform thickness. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

2 Place the flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.

3 Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium- high heat. Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and completely cooked throughout, working in two batches to avoid crowding the pan. Transfer to a plate, tent loosely with tin foil and keep warm.

4 Add the mushrooms to the same pan over a medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes until they begin to brown. Turn the heat to low and add the thyme, soft cheese and milk. Stir until the cheese is melted and season to taste.

5 Place the chicken on serving plates and top with the mushroom sauce. Serve with green vegetables and mash.
