Cinnamon-Crunch Chicken - FFWD


Another super easy and great FFWD recipe! No discernible cinnamon and no crunch but lots of flavor. This is basically  sauteed chicken in a sauce made of creme fraiche (I used half creme fraiche and half cream - more budget friendly when doubling the recipe!) and chopped spice cookies. It was reminiscent of a strogonoff or Swedish Meatball sauce. It tasted nicely complex and mysterious even though it was so easy. We served it with a version of the rice recipe from last week: Creamy, Cheesy, Garlicky Rice with Spinach...I added sauteed bell peppers. Very good!

I am making the chicken again tonight. I love how easy it is. Also this week, we made the Dressy Pasta "Risotto" from Around My French Table with the addition of some chopped cooked broccoli. Again...easy & to die for!

  2. It was so hard to imagine what this would be like! -- so I appreciate your comparing to Swedish meatballs and stroganoff. That's a good sign! I need to try both of those side dishes, too.

  3. We had ours with the spinach "not" risotto as well & loved the combination.
    I like the stroganoff comparison.

  7. Looks great with the rice from last week! Glad to hear the cookie seasonings went well with the chicken. I may try a mini-batch sans the floury cookies and using the spices.
