Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced sweet onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Add the chicken pieces, 1 lb of sliced mushrooms, salt, and pepper to the pan.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, ensuring the chicken is mostly covered.
  5. Cover the pot and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove the chicken pieces and mushrooms from the pan and set aside on a plate to keep warm.
  7. Stir 1 cup of béchamel sauce and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste into the remaining cream sauce in the pan.
  8. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and let it bubble for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
  9. Remove the pan from heat and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a smooth consistency.
  10. Return the strained sauce to the clean saucepan over low heat.
  11. Whisk in the curry powder, paprika, and lemon juice until fully combined and blended.
  12. Return the cooked chicken pieces and mushrooms to the creamy sauce.
