Steps
Steps
- 1Season the chicken with half the salt and the pepper. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a wide frying pan over high heat and fry the chicken for 6–7 minutes, turning, until golden on all sides; lift it out.
- 2Add the remaining oil and the butter to the pan, then the mushrooms, and fry over high heat for 6–8 minutes until they have released their liquid and browned.
- 3Lower the heat to medium, add the onion and cook for 4 minutes until soft, then stir in the garlic for 1 minute.
- 4Pour in the wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes, scraping up the browned bits from the pan.
- 5Return the chicken with its juices, pour in the cream and add the remaining salt.
- 6Simmer uncovered over low heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon — boiling it hard would split the cream.
- 7Take off the heat, stir in most of the dill and serve at once, scattered with the rest.
