Cooking for me is a simple pleasure and something that takes my mind off everything else. And one of the greatest pleasures is preparing an easy meal that delivers big on flavour.
Recently that was a quick dish grandly called Garlic Chicken Majestic. Grand it may sound, majestic it is in taste, but it is simple comfort food at its best.
I have no idea where the recipe came from, and it sounds like a strange combination, but it is absolutely delicious and very quick to prepare.
2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
20g butter
1 tsp oil
1 tbs soy sauce (or tamari)
1-2 tbs curry powder
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp plain flour (optional)
1 cup cream
Heat butter and oil in a saute pan. Cook chicken over medium heat until cooked through and golden. Remove from the pan and cover with foil to rest.
Reduce heat to low and saute the garlic. Add curry powder and soy sauce, and stir into a paste. Add cream (and plain flour if desired) and heat gently till the sauce starts to thicken.
Return chicken and juices to the pan and heat through. Serve chicken on a bed of rice with your choice of steamed greens.
