Lean chicken pieces, spring onions, freshly sliced mushrooms cooked with grated parmesan cream sauce …..

I use one pan for this dish to get all the flavors and if you go through other recipes, they call for boiled chicken. I think boiled chicken is just too bland, so I marinate my chicken in aromatic spices and stir fry it before putting it into the cream sauce.
