Day 11, Mexican Pollo a la Crema

I was thinking of cooking Chicken Alfredo but ended up with this mexican recipe that was shared to me by one our previous guest at Ebun cafe-bistro-galleri.  This is a very simple dish to prepare and cook.  This delicious and creamy chicken can be served with Mexican rice or pasta.

MEXICAN POLLO A LA CREMA (CHICKEN IN CREAM SAUCE)

2  tablespoons oil

2  cloves garlic, minced

1  piece medium sized onion, sliced

2  pieces  chicken breast, diced into bite size chunks

1  cup  sliced mushrooms

1/2   teaspoon  paprika powder

1/2   teaspoon cayenne pepper

salt and pepper to taste

1  cup  sour cream ( i used cottage cheese in this one that i made)

1  piece bell pepper, cut in strips

1/2   cup shredded cheese

400  grams pasta, cooked and drained

Heat oil in a wok over medium heat.

Saute garlic and onions until translucent.  Add in the chicken and mushrooms.  Sprinkle the dried seasonings over the chicken and stir.  Cook thoroughly until chicken is done.  Add the sour cream, shredded cheese and bell pepper.  Stir and cook until the cheese has melted in a medium to low fire.

Serve over a pasta just like in the photo above or serve with rice.
