Posted 2017-07-19 by finy ⇒ follow

This fried chicken had the most delicious sauce made of almonds, cream and other spices.

I cooked the chicken just for a few minutes and it was "melt in your mouth" tender.

Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 3

Ingredients
For the chicken
2 large chicken breasts (about 450 g)
Flour
Egg, beaten
Breadcrumbs mixed with grated cheese
Butter
For the sauce
30 g sliced almonds
½ tsp garlic, crushed
½ tsp ginger
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp dry white wine
1 chicken stock cube
½ cup cream
½ tsp French mustard
For the carrot salad
400 g medium carrots, peeled
½ clove garlic
30 ml lemon juice
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp paprika
¼ tsp hot sauce
¼ tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp sugar
Olive oil
Parsley, chopped

Method
For the carrot salad

Chop the carrots, and cook the carrots with the garlic in a pan of boiling water until they are just tender - about 10 to 15 minutes.

Drain.

Mix the lemon juice, sugar and spices, and combine well.

Pour over the carrots, tossing them so they are well coated.

Serve hot or cold, and garnish with the parsley just before serving.
