Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to simmer chicken breast with mushrooms and cheese in a frying pan? Prepare your food. It’s better to take chilled meat, but if you have frozen meat, then defrost it first by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. In addition to champignons, you can use any other mushrooms: oyster mushrooms, chanterelles, porcini or a mixture of mushrooms, both fresh and frozen.

Step 2

Step 2
The cream for this recipe can be of any fat content, but remember that the higher the percentage of fat content of the products you use, the higher the calorie content of the dish. I took 20%. Pour the cream into a glass, add flour, curry, salt and pepper.

Step 3

Step 3
Mix thoroughly until smooth, trying to break up all flour lumps. If lumps still remain, you can rub the cream mixture through a sieve.

Step 4

Step 4
Grate the cheese on a medium grater. Any cheese is suitable for this dish — hard, semi-hard, soft, such as mozzarella. The main thing is that it is tasty, of high quality, without milk fat substitutes, and melts well. I use mozzarella for pizza.
