Hazelnut, Mushroom and Cream Chicken (with photo)

This one of my favourite chicken dishes!!
Hazelnut, Mushroom and Cream Chicken:
Number of People: 5-6

Ingredients:
120g toasted hazelnuts
700g chicken breast fillets
300g porcini mushroom (I used frozen)
400g common mushroom (I used frozen)
250ml fresh cream
2-3 springs of fresh thyme
30g butter or margarine
Salt, black pepper

Preparation:
    * Pulverize hazelnuts for 3 seconds on Speed 7. (Continue 2 seconds more if needed)
    * Place chicken fillets in between 2 sheets of baking paper. Pound them a little by using a meat pounder
    * Cut them into slices as you wish. (I cut around 4 x 5cm slices)
    * Coat them nicely with pulverized hazelnut
    * Melt butter in a Teflon pan. Cook both sides of chicken slices around 3-4 minutes. (Add a little more butter if you feel it's needed) Pass cooked ones into another teflon pan. Continue cooking until you finish all
    * Cut mushrooms into 0.5cm slices. Add them onto cooked chicken slices. Add salt and pepper. Close the lid and cook until mushrooms are cooked
    * Lastly add thyme leaves and cream. Let the sauce thicken for a couple of minutes before you serve

Buon Appetito...

thank you farfallina, it does look delish. i now just toast my hazelnuts in the microwave for about 2 mins (after 1 min, just open door and move them around, and then after 2 mins check again - they cook from the inside so be careful). Best to be more cautious when doing it for the first time as it depends on your wattage but toasting nuts just takes too long in the oven.

Thank you for the tip creampuff 
I will try when my microwave is fixed. it got broken unfortunately 
I bought my hazelnuts toasted already
Surely when you toast yourself it costs less

Very creamy farfallina.  Sounds great, interesting with the hazelnuts as the crumbing agent
