Okay, folks, time to get cookin’! Today, we’re gonna make something super tasty - creamy, low-carb chicken medallions with mushrooms! I mean, who doesn’t love a good creamy chicken dish, amirite?

What You’ll Need

Here’s the list of ingredients:

• 500g chicken breast fillets
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 250g button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (if you’re feeling a little naughty)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

How to Make It

Now onto the fun part - the instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
2. Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook them until they’re soft and fragrant.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for about 5 minutes until they’re golden brown.
5. Add the chicken breast fillets to the pan, season them with thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook them until they’re cooked through (which should take about 5-6 minutes on each side).
6. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water. Slowly stir this into the chicken stock, then add it to the skillet. Bring everything to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
7. Add the cream and stir the skillet’s contents until everything is well combined.
8. Transfer everything with a slotted spoon into a baking dish. Bake it in the oven for around 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

Preparation Time

Now, this dish doesn’t take too long to make. You should be able to get it done in about 40 minutes, give or take (depending on how fast you are at chopping onions and the like).

Servings

Our recipe is good for around 4 servings.

Nutrition Facts (Hey, We Care About Your Health)

Each serving has around 360-400 calories, depending on how much cream and cornstarch you used. It’s a pretty good source of protein, and it doesn’t have a ton of carbs either, so it’s pretty healthy overall. If you’re trying to cut down on carbs, you can always omit the cornstarch and use less cream, or replace it with lighter alternatives like plain Greek yogurt.

Tips for Success

Now, let’s talk about some tips to make this dish even better:

• If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the contents of your skillet into an oven-safe baking dish before you bake it.
• If you’re feeling fancy, you can add some chopped herbs like parsley or chives on top once it’s done cooking.
• If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, you can use other veggies instead, or leave them out altogether.
• If you don’t have chicken stock, you can use vegetable stock instead. Or just plain water, if that’s all you have!
• If you’re watching your sodium intake, you can use low-sodium chicken stock, or omit the salt altogether and just use a bit of pepper.
• Finally, if you want to go the extra mile, you can serve this dish with some low-carb side dishes like cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles. Mmm, now we’re talking!

And there you have it, folks - creamy, low-carb chicken medallions with mushrooms! Now go forth and impress your friends and family with your mad cooking skills. We promise they won’t be disappointed!
