Ingredients
chicken stock
1 liter (salt reduced)
long grain rice
1 1/4 cups
oil
1 tablespoon
chicken breast fillets
500 grams (cut into thin strips)
button mushrooms
200 grams (sliced)
onion
1 medium (sliced)
thyme
1 teaspoon (dried)
cornflour
1 tablespoon ((cornstarch))
green beans
200 grams (halved)
sour cream
1/3 cup
Instructions
1
Pour 1 1/2 cups (375ml) of the chicken stock into a medium-sized saucepan. Set it over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the long-grain rice, stir briefly, then cover the pan, reduce the flame to low, and let it cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the stock is fully absorbed.
2
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips in batches, cooking for about 5 minutes per batch until they are golden brown. Removed cooked chicken strips from the pan and set aside.
3
In the same pan, add the sliced button mushrooms, sliced onion, thyme, and 1/2 cup (125ml) of chicken stock. Sauté these ingredients for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened. Remove from the pan and set aside with the chicken.
4
In a mixing bowl or measuring jug, whisk together the remaining chicken stock with the cornflour to form a smooth mixture. Pour this mixture into the frying pan, stirring constantly. Add the softened mushrooms, onion, and halved green beans back into the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring continuously. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender.
5
Return the browned chicken strips to the frying pan. Add in the sour cream, gently stirring until everything is well-combined and heated through. Ensure the sauce is creamy and thoroughly coats the chicken and vegetables.
6
Serve the creamy chicken and mushroom mixture over the prepared rice, garnished as desired.
