About Napoleon’s Chicken Marengo with Mushrooms Recipe
Because you care about your family, every day is a new challenge in the kitchen. The Chicken Marengo with Mushrooms recipe is inspired by a French cuisine dish, named after the triumphal victory of Napoleon in Marengo. The good news about this recipe is that the preparation time and practical cooking is one hour and 10 minutes maximum. You can have a very tasty meal in minutes.
When I cook this great dish, my husband begins eating immediately after I finish the plates, hot as it is. I told you this to have an impression regarding the tastiness of a great chicken preparation, that if you’ll try my recipe and follow the steps written below. No matter if you are in a hurry or not, the chicken Marengo can be done quickly, but has a difficulty level of low-to-medium.
Why Chicken Marengo with Mushrooms?
At first, the original recipe was served with a garnish of fried eggs and shrimp or crawfish. Nowadays, the recipe is modified and served with pasta, egg noodles, or rice. No matter what garnish you choose, I selected the recipe for chicken Marengo to have in its composition mushrooms for a better taste (from my point of view). I have tried more garnets in order to obtain an American flavor with a genuine French taste… So in this recipe, I used Mushrooms, for a perfect combination with Chicken Marengo and a balanced Ameri-French taste.
Health Benefits of Chicken Marengo with Mushrooms
The health benefits are significant in comparison with other similar dishes. Below I’ll write the most important facts regarding the two main ingredients.
Chicken meat
Chicken meat is favorite among all ages, is easily available, nutritious, and healthy if consumed in the right quantities. Chicken meat is present in almost all weight-loss diets due to its high protein load, makes strong bones and teeth, helps you to protect against cancer, and increases metabolism rates, especially the thyroid hormone, antioxidant defense system, and immune function of the body. Along with these benefits, the US National Library of Medicine noted the roles of poultry diets, which specify:
Poultry meat has a protein component usually defined as ‘high quality’. Animal-derived foods have a Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) value equivalent to or slightly below one. Conversely, plant-derived foods, which – despite containing a relevant quantity of protein – have a less favorable protein profile (they are generally lacking in one or more essential amino acids and/or more difficult to digest), have a substantially lower PDCAAS value (e.g. 0.75 for beans and 0.5 for wheat).
Mushrooms
Along with the chicken, mushrooms bring a lot of great health benefits and nutrients, being one of the greatest veggies you can eat, no matter the way of cooking. In the article (←) I wrote about mushrooms, I specified the best nutritional information regarding this meat-like veggie.
Mushrooms are part of Superfood veggie, and one of the most healthy foods on Earth. An estimated 50% of edible mushrooms are considered functional foods, meaning that they have a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition. The most important benefits are:
- Boost the Immune System Health.
- Longevity is a fact.
- Weight Loss due to Mushrooms fat… ish.
- Improving Digestion.
- Fight against Cancer.
Why choose French Cuisine?
I do recommend this dish due to the vast ingredients, which add more taste to the chicken and sauce. French regional cuisine is characterized by its extreme diversity and style. Traditionally, each region of France has its own distinctive cuisine. If you have not tried French cuisine yet, you should start. Besides having the best cheeses and minced meat products, they also have incredible food recipes.
