Superb lunch chicken - Suverän lunchkyckling

SUPERB LUNCH CHICKEN
Suverän lunchkyckling

Mushrooms are really good with chicken. If you mix different kinds, this is an excellent dish to make during mushroom season (yes, I know that you can buy mushrooms in any grocery store all year round, but as a Swede I've made many a walks in the woods around our summer home with baskets to pick mushrooms).

4 servings

1 chicken, approx 2 lbs, or 2 lbs chicken parts
2 teaspoons Chinese soy sauce
salt, pepper
paprika
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
¼ to 1/3 cup chicken bouillon
8 oz mushrooms, chanterelles, and other good mushrooms
1½ tablespoons flour
¾ cup heavy cream
1/3 cup milk
½ to ¾ chicken bouillon cube
3 tablespoons chopped parsley or
1 to 1½ teaspoons chervil

Cut the chicken in pieces. Brush with 1 teaspoon soy sauce and flavour with salt, pepper and paprika. Melt 1 tablespoon fat in a frying pan and brown the chicken all around until coloured. Pour on ¼ cup bouillon. Put a lid on and let the chicken fry for 30 to 40 minutes. If needed, add more bouillon during the cooking.

Trim the mushrooms and cut them in pieces if they’re large. Melt remaining fat and sizzle the mushrooms for about 5 minutes. Blend in the flour and beat in cream, milk, bouillon cube and remaining soy sauce. Add parsley and flavour to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve the chicken with the mushrooms, Hasselback potatoes, green beans and a salad.

Enjoy!
