Chicken and lamb in cheesy cream sauce

So this will be my 1st recipe that I would like to share on my blog. I just came up with it today since I didn't have any one kind of meat enough for a meal for two but 1 or 2 pieces of two different types of meat - chicken and lamb. So, I thought, "why not mix the two?" Might sound crazy to some but it turned out pretty neat :) I wanted to make something creamy and so this is what I came up with...

Chicken and lamb in cheesy cream sauce

(sorry my pictures aren't that great, with time I will improve them but for now kindly excuse me).


For this sumptuous meal you will need :

• 1 Large Chicken Breast
• 2 medium Lamb Chops
• 1 Courgette (diced)
• 1 Large White Onion (chopped)
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
• 5-6 Medium Button Mushrooms (sliced)
• Black Pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Salt to taste

For the "cheesy" cream sauce:

• Milk - 1 tablespoon 
• Butter - 1 teaspoon
• 3 Spring Onions with leaves (chopped)
• Cheddar Cheese - 1/2 cup (or more, up to you really)
• Black pepper
• Double Cream - 1/2 cup
• Italian Herbs - 1 teaspoon 

Procedure:

1. Dice the chicken breast and lamb chops up. Season with salt and pepper. Leave to marinade.
2. Meanwhile prepare the onion, courgette and mushrooms. Heat a pan. Add the olive oil till it is hot. Add the onions and fry till golden brown. 
3. Now add the courgettes and fry some more till they soften.
4. Once the courgettes brown slightly and soften, add the meat. Fry till the out layer is sealed.
5. Reduce heat, add some more seasonings of salt and cover with a lid. The meat will release its own water/juice and cook, becoming tender. Leave it to cook for 15-20 minutes. You can add some hot water (1/4th of a cup) to prevent it from burning.
6. On another side, heat a saucepan. Add some butter. After the butter is melted add the spring onions and fry till slightly golden brown, then add the milk and let simmer. Now add cheese, pepper, herbs, some hot water (1 cup) and let simmer in low heat, stirring occasionally. Once slightly thick, set aside.
7. When the meat looks tender and cooked enough, pour the sauce in and let boil slightly for 5-6 minutes. 
8. Add the double cream and simmer for 2 minutes.

All done :)

This dish serves 2-3 persons if you eat like me :p 

Serve tip: 

Can serve it up hot with steamed new potatoes and broccoli, green salad, plain rice or even with spaghetti and enjoy :)
