Why this works
A rich, protein-forward dish that is relatively energy-dense and high in saturated fat due to the cream and margarine.
High-quality protein. Chicken provides a substantial amount of protein to support muscle maintenance and satiety.
Micronutrients from mushrooms and onions. Mushrooms contribute B vitamins and selenium, while onions add antioxidants and small amounts of vitamin C and prebiotic compounds.
Higher saturated fat. Cream and margarine push the saturated fat content up, which is worth noting if you are managing cholesterol or heart health.
Method
- Finely slice the onions and mushrooms, then cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Melt the margarine in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onions for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the chicken and cook until sealed and lightly coloured all over.
- Stir in the mushrooms and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until they have softened and released their juices.
- Pour in the cream and simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce is glossy and coats the chicken and mushrooms. Season to taste if desired.
- Toast the bread until golden.
- Spoon the chicken and mushroom mixture over the toasted bread and serve immediately.
