My favorite dish at our local Mexican Restaurant. Chicken, mushrooms & onions in a spicy cream sauce, YUM! Very rich, but so delish! A real comfort food. I have been playing with the recipe for some time, just trying to get close to what they serve. I think I'm finally as close as I can get. 5/30/08 Update: If you can find Mexican Crema (dairy case at my grocer) it is thicker and works better than cream. This is also good served over rice or noodles. ***I discovered that my Paprika had gotten old and lost strength, when I bought new, I also had to reduce the amount. The recipe now reflects the reduced amount. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
4 cups boneless chicken breasts, cut in strips |
1 sweet onion, cut in half lengthwise and sliced |
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced fairly thick |
1 tablespoon paprika (or more if desired) |
2 tablespoons chicken base |
1 cup heavy cream (mexican cream works best) |
2/3 cup sour cream |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in large frying pan. Saute chicken and onion until chicken is no longer pink & onions are translucent.
2. Add cream, mushrooms, paprika & chicken base.
3. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is tender.
4. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Mixture will be somewhat thin, but should be a creamy texture like the consistency of a white sauce.
5. Serve hot with warmed flour tortillas and Spanish Rice.
