Creamy Chicken with Mushrooms

We used to eat out a lot . I liked to be served and someone else to cook for me. Unfortunately my body didn't like it much. I've got even more conscious about food  when our son was born. We still go out for lunch/dinner but just couple of times a month. I really prefer to eat my own food because I know what I put in it(organic and NON-GMO ingredients) . So, for Friday night I decided to prepare restaurant-like meal  for dinner.

Some of you may oppose the idea that this recipe is healthy since it contains heavy cream. I believe it is, as long as it comes from grass fed cows, is unpasteurized (or at least pasteurized on very low heat) and it's organic. The fat in it does not make people obese and does not contain cholesterol . The bad oils are hydrogenated vegetable oils and margarine. The brand I really like is Kolona Supernatural , available at Vitamin Cottage in Colorado. And no, I am not paid by them to advertise their products. I just love the quality of what they offer. 

Anyway, I don't want to start an argument, whether dairy is good for you or not. You do whatever you think is best for you. Frankly we all are different and if I can tolerate dairy it doesn't mean that you can and it's good for you.  

Ingredients 

4 Chicken breasts*

2 cups heavy cream 

1 small onion chopped finely 

6 oz sliced mushrooms 

5-6 garlic cloves 

Juice of a lemon 

black pepper 

oregano 

Sea salt 

Butter

Marinate chicken for couple of hours (if you have time :) ) in lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper. 

In a skillet melt some butter and saute onions and mushrooms. When almost done , add chicken breasts , heavy cream. Simmer until heavy cream starts to thicken. Add to the liquid garlic, pepper, salt and oregano. Adjust the amount to your own preference. Serve immediately with steamed broccoli or other vegetables if you prefer so. 

* The chicken breasts I used are from grass fed chickens and for that reason smaller than the conventional. You may need to adjust the amount of the heavy cream if your chicken breasts are bigger.
