Directions
- 1
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the grated onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
- 2
Add the chicken strips. Pour in the soy sauce, ketchup, and Dijon mustard, then sprinkle with dried herbs. Toss everything together to coat the chicken evenly.
- 3
Cook over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- 4
Lower the heat to its minimum. Stir in the heavy cream gently until you get a smooth, silky sauce. Do not let it boil or the cream will split.
- 5
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve right away over white rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes.
💡 Chef's Tip
Sliced button mushrooms added in step 2 make this dish even heartier. A small squeeze of lemon juice just before serving brightens the whole sauce beautifully.
