Julienne is a French dish that is usually made from mushrooms, cream sauce and cheese. However, there are many interpretations of the classic recipe. For example, you can make julienne with milk and chicken. It is better to use white meat for the dish - chicken breast. This way, the julienne will be healthier. For a delicate taste, use 3.2% fat milk.

Julienne with milk and chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of mushroom for julienne?

Yes, you can substitute button mushrooms with cremini, shiitake, or portobello mushrooms for a deeper flavor. Just ensure they are finely chopped and cooked until tender.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Replace the chicken with diced tofu, tempeh, or additional mushrooms for a vegetarian version. Ensure the protein is cooked thoroughly before adding milk.

What can I use instead of milk for a dairy-free option?

Coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk works well as a dairy-free alternative. The flavor may vary slightly, but it will still be creamy.

How long can I store leftover julienne?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Can I freeze julienne with milk and chicken?

Freezing is not recommended, as the dairy may separate when thawed, affecting texture. For best results, enjoy fresh or refrigerated.

What cheese works best for topping julienne?

Gruyère, mozzarella, or cheddar cheese melt beautifully. Grate it finely for even coverage and a golden crust.

How can I make this dish low-carb?

Skip or reduce the milk and use heavy cream instead for a richer, lower-carb version. Ensure other ingredients remain low-carb friendly.

Can I prepare julienne ahead of time?

Yes, assemble everything except the cheese topping. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then add cheese and bake when ready to serve.

What sides pair well with chicken and mushroom julienne?

A light salad, crusty bread, or roasted vegetables complement the creamy richness of julienne perfectly.

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
