- 300 gr chicken cubes
- 350 gr mushrooms
- 3 medium zucchini
- 1/2 onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 250 gr whipped cream
- 50 ml water
- 1/2 cube of chicken stock
- 85 gr grated Gruyere cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the convection oven to 190 degrees. On a large cutting board, cut the mushrooms into slices, the courgettes into cubes and the onion into small pieces. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan and add themushrooms and onion. Bake for approx. 4-6 minutes, until onion starts to discolor. Then add the zucchini cubes and fry for 8-10 minutes.
After baking, let it drain the excess moisture from the pan. Spoon the fried vegetables into a bowl and clean the pan. Return the pan to the heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Then add the chicken cubes to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry the chicken cubes for about 5 minutes until golden brown and done.
After cooking, add the cubes to the bowl with the vegetables and then get a large saucepan. Place the saucepan on a low heat and pour the whipped cream into the pan. Add the chicken stock and water to the pan and bring to the boil. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Then add half of the Gruyere cheese to the pan and gently stir it into the sauce. If the sauce is too thin, you can add a teaspoon of arrowroot or cornstarch if necessary.
Now drain the excess liquid from the bowl with the vegetables and chicken. Then divide the fried vegetables and chicken cubes over an oven dish and season with salt and pepper. Pour the cheese sauce over the vegetables and chicken and finally sprinkle the rest of the Gruyere cheese over the dish. Bake the oven dish for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven. After baking, divide into 4 portions and enjoy!
