Chicken in Fresh Plum Sauce

Chicken in Fresh Plum Sauce

Posted 2017-02-08 by finyfollow

I have used fresh plums in this recipe however did not allow for the fact that when cooked, plums become very sour!

As a result, when I tasted the sauce, I realised it needed sugar, so you will need to judge the amount after the sauce is made, as it all depends on the plums. I added about 2 tbsp of coconut sugar just to get rid of that very bitter/sour taste.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 65 minutes
Serves: 3

Ingredients
6 chicken thighs
½ cup water
½ cup white wine
Small bay leaf
240 g plums, pips removed
4 tbsp onions, chopped
¼ tsp garam masala
2 tsp parsley, chopped
1 tsp soy sauce
Chilli sauce, to taste (optional)

Method
  • Preheat the oven to 180°/160° fan forced.

  • Put the chicken thighs in a baking dish after cutting them in half and cleaning them.

  • Add the water, wine and the small bay leaf.


  • Cover with foil and bake for about 40 minutes

  • Pour the liquid out of the dish and into a saucepan.

  • Add the chopped plums, onion, garam masala, soy sauce and parsley.


  • Simmer on low until the plums are tender - this will take about 10 minutes.


  • Cool slightly and then puree - I used a stick blender to do this.

  • Return it back to the saucepan and simmer until it thickens and is reduced slightly.

  • Add salt, pepper and chilli.

  • Pour this over the chicken and put back in the oven until it is heated through, and this is only about 5 - 10 minutes.


  • Serve with rice, though I microwaved a potato with its skin and put it under the chicken.

  • Pour the sauce from the baking dish over the chicken and rice or potato, and eat!

  • I served it with my [link http://recipeyum.com.au/avocado-feta-and-tomato-salad/ avocado, feta and tomato salad] as I have heaps of tomatoes growing at the moment.
