Creamy Prosecco Chicken | Slimming & Weight Watchers Friendly

This light and fruity recipe is great when you fancy something a little bit different, but it still works as a go-to chicken dinner.

📝 Ingredients

• low-calorie cooking spray
• 1 medium onion, (peeled and thinly slice)
• 2 garlic cloves, (peeled and crushed)
• 130 g flat mushrooms, (sliced)
• 4 chicken breasts (approx. 130g each)
• 1 chicken stock cube
• 200 ml prosecco
• 1 tbsp cornflour
• 1 tbsp cold water
• 10 g fresh thyme
• 180 g reduced-fat cream cheese
• salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste )

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and fry gently for 5 minutes, until they have softened a little.
2. 2Add the chicken breasts and mushrooms, and continue to fry for 4 minutes, turning the chicken breasts over halfway through. The chicken breasts should be lightly golden.
3. 3Crumble in the stock cube and add the Prosecco. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over. Add the cornflour to the cold water, and stir until smooth. Pour into the pan, stirring to combine. Add the thyme, then cover with a lid and simmer for a further 10 minutes — or until the chicken is cooked through, there are no signs of pinkness, and the juices run clear.
4. 4Remove the frying pan from the heat and stir in the cream cheese, until completely blended. If the sauce is too thin, continue to simmer — uncovered — for a bit longer, until the sauce has reduced and thickened to your liking. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little water.
5. 5Season to taste with salt and pepper. Then serve!
