How to Make Dukan Chicken and Mushroom Julienne

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Slice the onion and mushrooms.

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes.

Step 2: Cook the Filling

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

If your diet phase allows, add a small amount of olive oil.

Cook the onions until soft.

Add the mushrooms and continue cooking until most of the moisture evaporates.

Add the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink.

Sprinkle in one tablespoon of white vinegar to enhance the flavor.

Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3: Assemble

Transfer the chicken and mushroom mixture into oven-safe ramekins or small baking pots.

Pour the Greek yogurt over the filling until it reaches about halfway up the mixture.

If desired, sprinkle grated reduced-fat cheese on top.

Step 4: Bake

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 30 minutes.

Bake an additional 5–10 minutes if using cheese until lightly golden.

Serve hot.
