Zürich-Style Creamy Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 1½ lb Chicken Breast, sliced into thin strips
• 10 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 1 shallot, minced
• ¾ cup cream
• ½ cup white wine or stock
• 1 tsp flour
• 3 tbsp butter
• Parsley + lemon squeeze
• Rösti or buttered noodles, to serve

Method

1. Sear the Chicken Breast strips fast in half the butter over high heat, 2 minutes, just to color — remove at 90%; they finish in the sauce.
2. Brown the mushrooms properly in the remaining butter; add the shallot for 1 minute.
3. Dust with the flour, then deglaze with the wine, scraping the fond.
4. Add the cream and simmer 3 minutes to a silky sauce; return the Chicken Breast and its juices for a final gentle 2 minutes (165°F for chicken).
5. Lemon, parsley, and serve over rösti — the canonical Zürich pairing. Bankers' comfort food with farmhouse bones.
