The creamed chicken that we propose is a very simple and delicious dish, perfect for those days when we don’t have much time. Creamed chicken is a dish that stands out for its softness and richness, creating a dining experience that is both comforting and indulgent. This culinary preparation is distinguished by its creamy flavor and the tender texture of the chicken, which come together to create an elegant and satisfying dish. In this dish, chicken pieces are cooked in a rich, creamy sauce, which usually includes ingredients such as heavy cream, broth, and aromatic herbs. This process allows the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce, resulting in juicy meat full of nuances. The softness and creaminess of the cream add a luxurious dimension to the dish, while the herbs and other seasonings add a touch of complexity and freshness. The chicken, when immersed in this mixture of flavors, acquires a softness that melts in the mouth, creating a pleasant sensory experience.
Ingredients: 1½ kilograms of chicken in pieces, 2 cans of Nestlé-type half cream, 1 chili (can be spicy or not), 1 onion cut into julienne strips, 2 canned chipotle chilis, 80 grams of butter, 1 tablet of consommé chicken powder, 1 green pepper cut into strips.
Preparation: The first thing you should do to prepare the creamed chicken is to cook the meat with water, salt and pepper. Meanwhile, take a saucepan and add the butter to melt. Tip: You can use the parts of the chicken that you like the most to make this recipe. When the butter is melted, add the clean chili (without seeds), the onion cut into julienne strips and the green pepper cut into strips so that they cook and soften a little. You can also add the chipotle chili at this time or, if you do not want to add so much heat to the sauce, you can blend it with just a little water and salt and reserve it in another container as a separate sauce. Tip: You can use any chili you like, such as serrano chili, yellow chili, jalapeño, etc., it will all depend on whether you want it to be very spicy or not. Likewise, you can substitute it with red bell pepper. Once the previous ingredients begin to become soft, add the half cream and the crumbled chicken broth cube. You can blend the sauce when the ingredients have been integrated and return it to the casserole. Tip: You can replace the bouillon tablet with a couple of tablespoons of the chicken cooking water, since the objective is to enhance the flavor of the sauce. When the chicken is cooked through, add it to the saucepan with the sauce, stir, cover the saucepan and let it simmer for 5 minutes over low heat. Tip: If you want the creamed chicken to have a more liquid sauce, add tablespoons of water, or the broth from cooking the meat, until you find the desired texture. This chicken in cream recipe is ideal to serve accompanied with white rice or three delicacies. Enjoy!
