I love this recipe because I can't get enough of pickles ... This might be a weird combination for many, combining the acidicy of pickles with chicken in a creamy cheesy sauce. However, this is exactly what you should try!
This is one of the recipes that my Mom "made up" and added to our rotation back at home. Due to her and me not liking mushrooms, she never served chicken strips in a creamy mushroom sauce. This recipe fills this gap wonderfully! It's the answer for all mushroom haters!
I only made one small adjustment to this recipe, because I usually don't use heavy cream but cream cheese to cook.
Chicken Strips & Pickles Stir-Fry
You don't like mushrooms? Or you can't put nearly enough pickles on your burger or hotdog? Then this recipe is just for you! Chicken strips in a cheesy creamy pickles sauce, simply delicious!!
Ingredients
How it is done:
-
Chop the onion and pickles in very small pieces. Afterwards, cut the chicken breast into fine strips, too.
-
Now, add butter to a frying pan and as soon as the pan is hot, fry the chicken strips very well. It is best to fry the chicken until you see it partly turning brown. This is giving the meal some roasting flavor.
-
Season with salt and pepper.
-
Then add and also fry the onion.
-
Add a splash of pickle liquid to the pan to deglaze. Then add the chopped pickles, also.
-
Now add the cream cheese to a free area in your frying pan, let is melt into your sauce and mix well. Then also add milk and processed cheese / cheese spread and let the sauce come together.
-
Add another splash of pickle liquid or you can just use regular water if it is already sour enough for you taste.
-
Season to taste with salt and pepper, let it come to a boil and serve.
