I am trying to get back cooking with the group French Fridays With Dorie! I love cooking out of the cookbook
Around my French Table by Dori Greenspan. This week I cooked last weeks dish Creamy, cheesy, garlicky rice with spinach (I will post this one this weekend), and I also made this weeks dish -- which is Cinnamon-Crunch Chicken. The name of this dish and me thinking this was going to be chicken with cinnamon crunch coating! I could not have been more wrong, instead this chicken had the most incredible sauce that kept you wanting just one more bite!!
It is easy to make and has just the three ingredients above, speculoos (I couldn't find so I substituted Biscoff cookies) Creme fraiche and chicken breasts cut into one inch strips.
We loved this dish, I will be making it again and would even serve it to company!
Welcome back! You had lovely sauce leftover in yours. I saw the biscoff cookies and wondered if they would make a good substitute, so glad to hear that they did. I am so glad that you include a brand of creme fraiche in your photo. I have not seen it at the stores here, so I often make my own when a recipe, like this one, specifically calls for it. I just spaced and ran out of time to make mine this week.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by the lack of crunch too - but the sauce more than made up for it.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see the results with the different cookie substitutions.
Welcome back! I just started cooking again myself, and we really liked this one, too. Easy, quick, what's not to love? Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteI like how your sauce turned out in terms of color. The Biscoff cookies were a great substitute.
ReplyDeleteThat was my vision for the chicken too! I was worried it was going to be overwhelmingly tasting of cinnamon, and crunchy cinnamon at that! LOL! Glad you liked it, I liked mine much better the second day when the creme fraiche had mellowed a bit.
ReplyDeleteI missed this one..........looks wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing yours I may actually play catch up and make this. I wasn't sure I would like the flavor. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour chicken looks much better than mine! I didn't have enough cinnamon in mine but I made up for it with pepper. I'm playing catch up too. I'm getting the cooking done but struggling with the posting!
ReplyDeleteThe sauce looks wonderful! Glad you're back. We have some great recipes this month.
