We had this last night for dinner. A lovely winter warmer. You can make this as a veggie option by substituting the chicken with some vegetables, such as carrot, turnip, green beans and puy lentils.
Serves 2
Brown off 2 chicken chopped breasts, or your veg/puy lentils, in a small amount of oil.
Put aside and add 1 medium onion, chopped to the pan and 2 large button/chestnut mushrooms (sliced). Cook off for 2-3 mins, until onion transparent.
Add 2 tsps Dijon mustard.
Add 1/2 tsp white pepper. Black pepper will do if you don't have white.
Return chicken to pan.
Add 2 capfuls brandy.
Add 1/4 stock cube with 1/4 pint hot water.
Allow to cook until chicken cooked through.
Add 2 dsps Creme fraiche.
Heat through and serve with potatoes, veg of your choice or rice. This particular meal goes very well with a slice of black pudding (if you are not vegetarian).
This really is a lovely winter warmer and if taken with th black pudding, it is a serious protein and iron kick!.
