Ingredients

2 skinless boneless chicken breasts cut into 1/2 inch pieces

500g button mushrooms quartered

4 generous spoons of butter

2 spoons flour

1 cup sour cream

chicken stock as needed

salt and pepper

dill

Polenta:

This is a hard recipe to give for me, as I never measure the ingredients.

2 cups water

salt

2 tablespoons butter

cornmeal

Or you can use the store already made polenta and heat it up.

Directions

Fry the chicken in butter for about 3 -4 minutes and set it aside. In the same pan, add the mushrooms and the flour ( you will make a roux). The mushroom will leave their own tasty broth. Cook for about 10-15 min.The consistency of the roux has to be a little thicker than that of a cream soup. If it is too thick, add chicken stock. I usually add salt and pepper at every step of the meal and taste it along the way.

Return the chicken to the pan and cook 7 more minutes. Just before taking the pan off the stove, add the dill.

Polenta: I usually boil about 2 cups of water with salt and add gradually the cornmeal stirring like crazy until it reaches the desired consistency. At the very end I add the butter. On the cornmeal bag I read that they recommend 5 glasses water to 1 glass cornmeal - I think it should be 3 glasses water to 1 glass cornmeal...

Evidently I printed this out without leaving you a comment. I ran across it while looking for something for dinner and fixed it tonight. It is wonderful. If I could give you more than five forks I would give you a whole basket full. I used a 4-1 ratio of water to corn meal and it worked out great. This is a fantastic recipe!
