Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 chicken fillets
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chicken seasoning (optional)
  • 150 g (5 oz) yellow cheese, grated
  • 8 mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 heaping tablespoons tomato puree
  • 1/2 cup 30% cream
  • Chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Season the Chicken:
    • Cut the chicken fillets into bite-sized pieces or strips.
    • In a bowl, coat the chicken with olive oil, sweet paprika, salt, black pepper, and chicken seasoning if desired.
    • Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Cook the Chicken:
    • Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a bit of olive oil.
    • Add the seasoned chicken and cook until golden brown on each side, about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set the chicken aside on a plate.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables:
    • In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, and sauté the red onion until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and diced bell pepper, cooking until the mushrooms are golden brown and the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Make the Creamy Tomato Sauce:
    • Add the tomato puree to the skillet, stirring it with the vegetables.
    • Pour in the 30% cream, stirring to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Combine and Add Cheese:
    • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the chicken to coat it.
    • Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the chicken and vegetables, allowing it to melt into the sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    • Turn off the heat and sprinkle freshly chopped chives on top.
    • Serve hot with rice, pasta, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
