This is a recipe that I have seen kicking around the internet for years which I have always wanted to make. It always sounded simple and delicious, and of course you know that my main criteria for cooking here at home is simple and delicious! I can be rather lazy when it comes to cooking. Quick, easy and delicious works for me! Don't get me wrong. I can do complicated with my eyes closed . . . but why??? If I can find a short cut which will get me the same results. I'm taking it.
And you really couldn't get much simpler than this actually . . . chicken mini fillets (Or chicken tenders as they are called in North America) dusted with a tasty mix of spices, browned in butter (*slurp!) and then simmered in cream until done. (**Double slurp!) Yes . . . I am also somewhat of a glutton.
There is a little tendon which lays on the bottom side of these mini chicken fillets which I always remove. I don't like the texture of it in my chicken. It can make them a bit tough if you leave it in. It's not all that difficult to remove. You can see it quite easily, it's very visible. Just lay your chicken piece, underside up on a cutting board and firmly grip the end of the tendon with your left thumb and forefinger and then using a very sharp knife start to slide it down the of the tendon, chivvying the knife against the tendon without cutting through . . . Once you have it all loosened, just throw it away!
Then it's as simple as just mixing the spices and rubbing them into the chicken pieces and browning them, then pouring on the cream. Talk about big time flavour for very little effort! You will love this. I know we sure did! I serve it simply with some steamed new potatoes (so good this time of year) and haricot verts. Delicious!
