CHICKEN ALEXANDRIA

Preparation Method :

• Marinate the chicken with pepper and salt for about 30 minutes.
• Cheese Sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon butter. Add in the plain flour and stir till it slightly changes colour.
• Add the milk. Stir continuously, till slightly thick. Add salt, pepper and cheese. Remove from heat.
• Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a flat non stick pan. Add the chicken breasts to hot butter and fry on both sides till pale golden, for about 5 minutes.
• Lower heat and water. Cover and cook the chicken breasts till absolutely tender, for about 10 minutes.
• Lift the chicken pieces from the pan. Drain any excess liquid and clean the pan with a paper napkin. Return the chicken pieces to the pan.
• Mix maida with cream and pour over the chicken pieces in the pan. Stir to coat the pieces well. Cook on low heat for ½ minute.
• Lift the chicken pieces to a baking dish, leaving behind the cream.
• Add the cheese sauce to the cream in the pan and blend the cream and cheese sauce. Add ¼ cup of milk to the sauce if it gets too thick.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces to coat each piece well.
• Garnish with slices of mushrooms and a little grated cheese.
