Background
This a lovely, fragrant and tasty dish that is perfect for days when we have only half-an-hour to create a nice meal. Serve it with rice or couscous.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast fillets (skinless)
- 1Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 1 tsp cornflour
- Β½ tsp ground ginger
- Β½ tsp ground cinnamon
- Β½ tsp ground cumin
- 1 cup of chicken stock
- Β½ cup prunes (pitted)
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 Tbsp chopped coriander
Instructions
- If the chicken breasts are large, then cut them in half. Season well.
- In a heavy-based pan heat the oil and gently fry the chicken until they're just cooked through. It should be about 10 minutes. Remove them to a plate.
- Meanwhile, chop up the onions and garlic and measure out the spices.
- Fry the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes, or until soft. Add the spices, fry for a minute then sprinkle over the cornflour.
- Slowly add the stock, while stirring or whisking to avoid lumps.
- Add the prunes, lemon juice and honey. Cook until you get a thick sauce (about 5 minutes).
- Put the chicken breasts back into the pan, and cook, under cover, for a further 3-5 minutes.
- Season to taste and sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander before serving.
