Cinnamon Crunch Chicken

September 16, 2011 in Food with 6 Comments

Today’s French Fridays with Dorie was one of my favorites. Forget 30-minute meals, this one took half as much time. It was also easy and allowed me to do the two things I try to do each week: 1) Do one small thing (make myself lunch) 2) Try something new (combine Chicken with Creme Fraiche).

Creme Fraiche

It’s a French cultured cream with a consistency like sour cream or yogurt with a better flavor and the ability to be heated without curdling. You can use it to thicken soup, put atop Potatoes with a dollop of Caviar, flavor Beef Stroganoff, and mix with Cinnamon flavored cookies and Chicken like I did for this week’s recipe.

The Recipe

I wish I could give you the recipe, but as part of the French Fridays with Dorie online cooking group, I can only encourage you to join by registering here http://www.frenchfridayswithdorie.com. Please do, it will be so fun to do together.

What I Will Do Differently Next Time

~I will use Butter instead of oil, and measure the porportion of Butter to Chicken to make a better sauce

~ I will use a smaller non-stick pan if I’m only going to 1 breast like I did for my lunch

~ Instead of strips I will probably cut them into chunks

I paired this recipe with the recommended Lemon Steamed Spinach for a tasty lunch. And the Cinnamon cookies added an unexpected flavor profile to the Chicken. I might try to bake it next time. Can’t wait.

    Such a lovely simple dish.
    It would be interesting as a baked version.

    We really enjoyed this one, much to my surprise, actually. I do love how quick and easy it was, too!

    Yours looks delicious. I used butter and the fragrant was great when the chicken was sauted. I am satisfied with it and mine was a drier and crunchy. Love it more if it was less sweet. I used digestive biscuits and added my own cinnamon powder. The next time I shall make my own speculoos and lessen the sugar :) Have a ncie day!

    You aren’t the only one that did the lemony spinach! :) sounds great! Mine, I thought was better the second day for lunch, when the creme fraiche had mellowed out a bit.

    Baking sounds like it might work really well for this dish. Yours look lovely.

    I agree with everyone of the changes you would make next time. We liked this but didn’t love it.
