How to make Chicken in Garlic Mushroom Cream Sauce

I will be frank guys – to make this dish you don’t need to be a cook.Really! You just need all the ingredients and a pan.

I have used boneless chicken for this dish simply because the sauce doesn’t need to be simmered for long for flavour unlike a lot of Indian curries like – Nadan Kozhi Curry- Kerala Chicken Curry and Easy Creamy Chicken Curry.The cut of chicken you use will determine how long it takes to cook the dish.I use Chicken breast which takes only 6-7 minute of cooking.If you use chicken thigh, it will take slightly longer to cook- about 15-17 minutes.

Now about the mushrooms-Browning the Mushrooms is what makes this dish flavoursome.Off course, it’s the chicken and the herbs too but this takes it from a plain dish to a spectacular, restaurant level dish.

Vegan or Vegetarian Version of Chicken in Garlic Mushroom Cream Sauce

Even though this dish has chicken and cream, it can easily be made Vegan by using tofu or other vegetables instead of Chicken and vegan cream made with cashew or almond instead of dairy cream.

Replace the cream with cashew cream or thick Almond Milk(recipe here)

Replace Chicken with Vegan/Vegetarian protein – Tofu ,Tempeh or Paneer.
