DEVILLED
CHICKEN
A really tasty
and easy to make meal - a dish which is traditionally English - and
which
used to be eaten in the springtime.
I once saw this
dish described as "A tasty spring dish that will bring out the devil in
you". That, I believe, says it all!
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
12 oz of boneless
chicken meat, skinned and chopped into small pieces.
1 oz plain
flour
1 tablespoon
cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon
paprika powder
1 onion
1 oz butter
15 fl oz milk
4 oz white
grapes
4 tablespoons
apple puree
5 fl oz soured
cream
Method:
1.
Chop the onion into small pieces.
2.
Mix together the flour,
paprika and cayenne pepper. Coat the chicken pieces in flour/pepper
mixture
and shake off any excess.
3.
Melt the butter in a
frying pan and fry the coated chicken pieces and onion for 4 or 5
minutes.
4.
Keep heating and stir
in any unused flour/pepper mixture. Slowly pour in the milk and stir
until
the mixture thickens and becomes like a sauce.
5.
Simmer the chicken and
sauce until the sauce is smooth in texture.
6.
Add the apple puree and
the grapes and simmer for about 20 minutes.
7.
Remove from the heat.
Put the chicken into a pre-heated serving dish (or onto warm plates),
pour
over any remaining sauce. Top with soured cream and a tiny sprinkle of
paprika (for colour).
This is nice on either a
bed of plain rice or a thin layer of finely sliced boiled potatoes.
