How to prepare gravy?

Champignon and chicken gravy with sour cream is prepared in just a few steps. In addition, this recipe is quite fast, because all the ingredients are prepared very quickly. This fact makes the gravy more versatile, suitable for both a holiday dinner and an everyday dinner after work. Step-by-step preparation:

1. Take a chicken breast, wash it and remove veins, fat and films. When the piece is “clean”, cut it into convenient, small cubes.
2. Peel the onion as well as the garlic. Cut the onion into thin slices, and set the garlic aside for now - we will need it a little later.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Quickly fry the onion over medium heat until translucent. Then add the chicken. Fry everything together until the chicken is browned. She should also let out some juice. When this happens, you can reduce the heat a little.
4. At this time, let's prepare the mushrooms. Wash them thoroughly and remove all dirt. Cut into medium-sized slices.
5. Add mushroom pieces to the chicken and onions. Mix well and let the mushrooms soften to release the juice.
6. When there is enough liquid in the pan, you can sprinkle the contents with flour. Mix well, achieving homogeneity. The gravy with chicken breast and mushrooms should become thick. If the thickness suits you, then good, if not, just add 100-200 ml of water. The more water, the thinner the gravy will be.
7. Now add sour cream and mix everything well again. Make sure that the gravy is homogeneous and has a delicate velvety texture.
8. Now you can add the garlic passed through the press. Adding it now will give you a more garlicky flavor. If you want the taste of garlic to not be particularly noticeable, but only the smell to be noticeable, you should add it at the very beginning, frying it together with the onion. But in this case, you can do without it altogether, because then only a subtle aroma will remain in the gravy.
9. Let the gravy come to a boil. When the first bubbles appear on the surface, turn the heat to very low.
10. Salt, pepper, add the spices that you usually add to chicken. Stir and leave to evaporate over low heat for at least 10 minutes. Then remove from heat and serve with a side dish in the form of porridge or vegetables.

Advice from Sauchier Gravy with chicken breast and mushrooms can also be prepared with low-fat cream. However, we do not recommend adding water at all, as well as sour cream, of course. This gravy needs to evaporate a little longer - at least 15 minutes. But, of course, if you are satisfied with the consistency before, you can remove and serve.
