600 g chicken fillets, cut into strips

2 garlic cloves, crushed

30 ml First Choice Olive Oil

60 g First Choice Butter

250 g portabelini mushrooms, sliced

1 red pepper, sliced into strips

50 ml flour

Directions:

Heat the First Choice Olive Oil in a frying pan on high heat and add the chicken. Do not stir immediately – wait for the chicken to sear. Cook for a few minutes.

Add the garlic and some salt and black pepper – lightly brown the chicken then remove it from the frying pan and keep aside.

Add the First Choice Butter to the frying pan on medium heat and add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are almost dry then add the peppers. Season and cook for about 3 minutes to soften the peppers.

Remove from the heat and add the cooked chicken to the vegetables.

Add the flour, stir well and slowly add the First Choice Cream and the First Choice Milk. Stir well and return the saucepan to the heat.
