About this recipe

The "Chicken Strips with Mushrooms" is a dish that evokes memories of Sunday lunches with the family, when my grandmother prepared something similar, even if without the help of the Thermomix®. Her version was more rustic, with mushrooms picked in the woods and an intense aroma of garlic and rosemary. This recipe is a modern reinterpretation, designed for those who have little time but do not want to give up taste. The chicken breast, cut into strips, is the protein base of the dish. Its delicacy goes perfectly with the earthy flavor of the button mushrooms. The latter, once cooked, release an unmistakable aroma and a soft and pleasant consistency on the palate. The garlic, finely chopped, gives a pungent note that enhances the flavors of the other ingredients. Extra virgin olive oil, a fundamental ingredient of Mediterranean cuisine, binds everything together and gives a touch of richness. Salt and pepper, of course, are essential to balance the flavors. The preparation with the Thermomix® is incredibly simple and fast. It is important not to overload the bowl when adding the mushrooms, to ensure even cooking. If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a tablespoon of tomato paste while cooking the mushrooms. A tip: to prevent the chicken from becoming too dry, it is essential to cook it in a pan over high heat, quickly sealing it on all sides. For a vegetarian version, you can replace the chicken with smoked tofu cut into cubes. For a vegan variant, make sure that the oil used is of vegetable origin and does not contain animal derivatives. You can experiment with different spices, such as smoked paprika, turmeric or a pinch of chilli for a spicy touch. A sprig of fresh thyme added during the cooking of the mushrooms will give a delicious aroma. The "Chicken Strips with Mushrooms" is a versatile dish that can be combined with different types of side dishes. It is perfect with a simple basmati rice, baked potatoes or a creamy mashed potato. It can also be served with a steaming polenta or with grilled vegetables. A mixed salad with a light dressing will complete the meal in a balanced way. The dish can be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of two days, in an airtight container. It can be reheated in a pan or in the microwave. It is possible to prepare the dish in advance and reheat it when serving. In this case, it is advisable not to cook the chicken completely in the pan, so that it does not become too dry during heating.
