Ingredients

• Chicken breast fillet: 2 pc
• Carrot: 0.5 pc
• Fresh mushrooms: 1 glass
• Olive oil: 1 tbsp
• Salt: to taste
• Ground black pepper: to taste
• Red dry wine: 0.5 glass
• Feta cheese: 2 tbsp

Cooking steps

1. Cut the chicken into pieces (if the chicken seems dry, you can lightly pound it beforehand), and salt it. Cut the carrot into small cubes (also chop the onion and garlic if you are using them). If you have fresh mushrooms (like champignons), slice them thinly lengthwise.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken breast fillet: 2 pieces
   • Carrot: 0.5 piece
   • Fresh mushrooms: 1 glass
   • Salt:  to taste

2. Heat oil in a deep skillet and sauté the carrots until lightly caramelized (3-5 minutes).

   Required ingredients:

   • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon

3. Add mushrooms to the carrots and allow the resulting liquid to evaporate (if the mushrooms are frozen).

   Required ingredients:

   • Fresh mushrooms: 1 glass

4. Add pieces of chicken to the mushroom mixture, stirring until they turn white, reduce the heat, and cover with a lid. Leave covered for 3 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken breast fillet: 2 pieces

5. Pour wine, salt, and pepper into the pan, cover, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Check if the chicken is done; if not, keep it until ready. By this time, the wine should have evaporated, leaving only its aroma and color.

   Required ingredients:

   • Red dry wine: 0.5 glass
   • Salt:  to taste
   • Ground black pepper:  to taste

6. Open the lid, push the chicken with mushrooms to the edges of the pan, freeing up some space in the center, and place the feta there. Pressing with a spatula, allow the cheese to melt. Mix with the chicken, mashing for 2 minutes to break up the lumps of the future sauce.

   Required ingredients:

   • Feta cheese: 2 tablespoons

7. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly ground fragrant pepper and parsley.
