To surprise guests or relatives, each hostess tries to cook unusual and tasty dishes. Some use imported ingredients that are hard to find in ordinary stores. If you decide to do something special, you can use the available products: mushrooms, chicken and cream. This article will discuss the basic ways to properly prepare juicy snacks from these components.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
When you go to the store for mushrooms, better go to checked places. Try to protect yourself from low-quality and expired goods that can be found in supermarkets.
Important! If you decide to go on a “silent hunt”, then first study all the characteristics of mushrooms to avoid collecting poisonous fruit bodies.
When choosing mushrooms, consider the following characteristics:
- Smell - the aroma of fresh champignons is pleasant, delicate. If it is sharp and acidic, then it is better to refrain from such a purchase.
- Colour - hats and legs of champignons have a white or cream shade. The appearance of dark spots indicates that the fruiting bodies have long been on the counter and have already deteriorated.
- Surface - Fresh mushrooms should be dull. Glossy gloss and stickiness are indicators of the spoilage of goods.
When choosing chicken, smell and color should also be considered. The hue should be slightly pinkish. Choose pieces that have a meat-specific flavor (not intrusive, but harsh). Rotten notes indicate spoiled meat. Also avoid chicken meat, which has a flavor of medicine. This means that he was injected with drugs to increase the shelf life. Eating such foods can lead to digestive problems (diarrhea, heartburn, etc.).
Did you know? Champignons contain a high concentration of riboflavin, which is necessary for improving vision and preventing cataracts.
The preparation of the ingredients is that you first need to rinse them under clean running water. This will allow you to wash away all dirt, dust or the presence of other aromas (such cases are justified by the fact that products are on the shelves next to other goods). After washing, peel the mushrooms and cut the lower part of the leg, where the most dirt accumulates. From the chicken, remove the film that is on the surface. If this is not done, then the fillet will be poorly chopped.
Chicken fillet recipes in sour cream sauce
Each hostess has her own secrets of cooking delicious and fragrant dishes. We will consider methods for using sour cream sauce, which gives the meat softness and juiciness.
Did you know? Regular consumption of champignons lowers blood cholesterol, which helps prevent the development of atherosclerosis.
If you want to replace certain ingredients, then you can safely do this. People who are intolerant of dairy products use home-made mayonnaise instead of sour cream. The main thing - do not use low quality products (margarine, shop mayonnaise, etc.). They contain a lot of water, which violates the taste of the dish.
