Then gradually, all the while slowly stirring, pour in the cream (180 ml). When the mass becomes homogeneous, grated hard cheese (50 g) is added. The sauce is stirred, salted, peppered and 1/3 teaspoon of chopped nutmeg is added.
Then pour the chicken fried with onions in the sauce, bring everything together to a boil, cook everything together for another 7 minutes on low heat. You can also cook a very tasty chicken in a creamy garlic sauce if you add a couple of cloves of minced garlic during the preparation of the sauce.
