Tender Chicken Breast & Veggies in a Creamy Sauce

by Micaela Harrasser

Looking for an easy & nutritious meal? Are you a fan of one-pot recipes? Then this tender chicken breast with vegetables, generously covered with a rich creamy sauce is perfect for you! 😀
This recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight, or if you have to empty the fridge from sad-looking vegetables (we’ve all been there).
It’s very versatile because you can play around with your favorite vegetables. Plus if you use a plant-based cream like I do, you’ll get a great dairy free version! Another thing I really like about this dish, is that it keeps me full and energetic for a long time, making it suitable for a lunch as well (you can definitely bring it to work).
It’s also complete for your macros (lean protein, carbs from potatoes and vegetables, and fat from oil and cream), and all fits in one pot, making it easier to prepare and to clean 😉

  4. Once done, add the chopped mushrooms and stir.
  5. After a couple of minutes, take one teaspoon of cooking cream and add it to a bowl.
  6. Add the remaining cooking cream to the pan with chicken and mushrooms.
  7. Mix the flour with the teaspoon of cream until you get a smooth paste with no lumps, and add it to the pan.
  8. Add the potatoes and long beans, and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and reduced a bit. 
  9. Taste the sauce and eventually adjust the seasoning.
  10. Turn off the heat and start plating:
  11. Take the chicken out and slice it.
  12. Add it onto a plate and cover it with the sauce and vegetables.
