Chicken breasts with oyster mushrooms

60 minutes
Chicken breasts with oyster mushrooms are a tender and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that combines simplicity and richness of flavors. The combination of juicy chicken meat and the rich mushroom aroma of oyster mushrooms gives this dish a special depth. Sautéed vegetables create the flavor base, while a milk sauce thickened with flour adds creamy softness and harmony. This dish is perfect for both everyday dinners and festive tables. It can be served with a side of potatoes or fresh vegetables, while parsley and dill add a refreshing final touch. The variability of ingredients allows for recipe adaptation: replacing milk with cream and oyster mushrooms with champignons opens new dimensions of taste perception.
