Chicken Geschnetzeltes

The gentle bubble from the pan leaves a trail of aromatic vapor , imparting my small kitchen some enticing whiffs. Among the bulbs of sliced mushrooms, the succulent strips of meat have been simmering in  cream, broth and white wine as I slowly sway it off to a gentle waltz.

After more than 3 weeks of indulging myself in all things delicious and good in Asia, my mouth still waters at the promise this familiar deliciousness , I've eaten so many times.
From steaks to foie gras, dim sums to grilled tuna, I've consumed too much restaurant foods that I'm glad I home, here in Germany and cooking  something generic as Geschnetzeltes . A simple  dish, devoid of any flair and  extravagance but good nevertheless  . Common and forever present in many German  households. Nothing could be as welcoming as this . Holiday feels like an exciting dream, but being home a sweet reality.
