Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a classic julienne with chicken and mushrooms with sour cream? Prepare your food. Any fillet is suitable, both from the breast and from other parts. Mushrooms — champignons, they are the easiest to process.

Step 2

Step 2
First of all, boil the chicken. How to cook chicken fillet? Place a saucepan with clean cold water on the stove. Bring it to a boil. Add salt. Place meat in boiling water. It is this method — immersing the meat in boiling water, and not initially cooking in cold water — that will make the fillet soft and juicy. Cook the chicken for about 30 minutes (depending on the size of the piece). Then turn off the heat and leave the meat to cool directly in the broth — this will also affect the juiciness.

Wash the mushrooms carefully with a sponge under cool water and dry well — once saturated with moisture, they will become watery and tasteless. Slice the mushrooms into thin slices.

Step 5

Step 5
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, pour vegetable oil into it for frying. Place onions in it. Fry the onion for a couple of minutes, stirring, until translucent. Then add the mushrooms to the onions. Salt and pepper them to taste — the salt will draw the water out of the mushrooms. Fry the champignons until the water has evaporated and lightly browned.

Whisk quickly until the flour and butter are smooth. Then, also with active stirring, pour milk into the saucepan. The sauce should become homogeneous, without lumps, so you need to stir it well. Boil the sauce until it boils; it will thicken a little.
