OK so now for something a bit savory. This is one of my all time favourite meals. Mom would make it for guests when we were young, and she would put a bit aside for me in a bowl, so later that evening when they were in the lounge I would nip down and enjoy. Years later when I first met my husband to be, I discovered that each year, his birthday dinner would be ‘Chicken, Nuts & Mushrooms’. Both moms did it a little differently, and I have combined them both and come up with something a little more modern, but still good home comfort food.
Ingredients
A whole cooked chicken (or if you don’t have one, cook 2 chicken breasts and rip it up)
Sliced mushrooms
1 cup milk
1 cup cream
1 pkt mushroom soup
1 tsp curry powder
Good handful of cashew nuts
Method
Spread chicken over base of casserole dish.
Spread sliced mushrooms over chicken (use as mush as you like, I prefer for it to be almost a double layer of mushrooms).
Mix the mushroom soup with the milk and cream and bring to the boil (just – don’t allow it to boil too much)
Remove from heat and add curry powder, stir well and pour over chicken.
Sprinkle cashew nuts over the top.
Place in oven @ 180°C for about 25mins or until heated through thoroughly.
Serve with Jasmine Rice and a fresh green salad.
