Geschnetzeltes - Chopped Chicken Strips

One meal I love is Geschnetzeltes. I have not had it in ages and it is so simple to cook. It's just chopped chicken strips with mushrooms in roux. Well, at least thats the way I cook it.

I melt the butter, sweat the onions, pour a little flour in it, mix it, add chicken broth to get a thick sauce. That's when I add the mushrooms and chicken breast strips. Mmmmmhmmmm it is sooo delicious. It is said that it is Zurich Style to add the white mushrooms but to be honest I've added them before I even knew about Zurich Style Geschnetzeltes so I (me myself and I) call it "Sandra Style" especially since I do it my way with a simple roux and lots of small butcher onion bits. I don't use any cream for my Geschnetzeltes because I feel like I don't need it. It is yummy the way it is.
