  • ½ tsp each salt and green pepper

  • ¼ tsp dried basil
  • Pinch of poultry seasoning
  • Pinch of cardamom
  • 2 cups milk
  • 300 gr./ 10 oz light cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp balsamico bianco(the recipe called for white wine vinegar, but I had the white balsamico sitting in my closet for so long and I thought I should use it)

  • Salt and pepper
Instructions/ Εκτέλεση
  1. Salt and pepper the chicken.
  2. In a large skillet add 2 tbsp of olive oil and sauté in medium/high heat the chicken pieces until fairly brown. Remove to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet reduce heat to medium; add another 2 tbsp of olive oil and sauté the onion, the garlic, the mushrooms and salt and pepper.
  4. Add the wine and continue to sauté until all the liquid has evaporated.
  5. Add the flour and continue to cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
