Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Get everything ready first because it cooks fast: slice the mushrooms thickly, mince the garlic and chop the dill, parsley and green onion. 0:19
- Melt half the butter with half the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms with ½ tsp garlic salt for about 5 minutes until golden, then tip onto a plate. 1:16
- Season the chicken with 1 tsp garlic salt. Add the rest of the butter and oil to the pan and sear the tenders about 2 minutes a side until cooked through. 1:39
- Stir in the garlic for a minute, then the dill, parsley and green onion for another minute. 1:59
- Return the mushrooms, pour in the cream and bring to a light boil. Simmer about 2 minutes until slightly thickened (it thickens more as it cools), then season to taste. 2:14
Tip. Sliced chicken breast works instead of tenders. Serve with cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles or green beans to keep it keto. The sauce thickens as it stands, so add a splash of water when reheating.

0.4 µg a serve, mostly from chicken tenders (71%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Omega-3 Source13%
0.2 g a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (65%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Vitamin C Source10%
8.9 mg a serve, mostly from fresh parsley (56%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
