mmm food

2 chickken breast, 250g mushroom, 4 cloves garlic, 175ml white wine, 2-3 tablespoons fromage frais. Yum.


Chop and fry nushrooms and garlic. Put the chicken in the same pan and sear on both sides then remove and place in a pyrex dish. Add the wine to the pan and simmer for a couple of minutes then stir in the fromage frais. Once mixed pour over the chicken breasts and stick in the oven, gas mark 5 for 40 mins.

The result tasted lovely, though the fromage frais curdled as it does which made the texture somewhat odd. Next time I may just add it at the end instead of during the cooking. Using cream would work better probably, but might taste a bit too rich. Defininitely one to remember.

You could always try using Yofu non-dairy natural yoghurt (available from Tescos and Waitrose, plus most health food places) instead of fromage frais; I've found that it lends itself to a better flavour and doesn't (IME) curdle.
