Chicken with cherries
I first ate this dish years ago at a friend’s house and got the recipe from her. I modified it slightly so I don’t have to use a bag of curry sauce. Optionally you could use a little less curry if you have tricky eaters but I’m sure kids will love it!
It’s sweet because of the cherries and there’s a nice crispy crust on top too. And actually that’s what we all secretly like best!
Do not eat it too often because it is a high-calorie dish but hey, you should enjoy comfort food once in a while! Serve it with a fresh green salad and you have a complete meal.
What you need
For 4 people:
- 400 grams of chicken breast
- A jar of cherries (drained weight 350 grams)
- 4 tsp curry powder
- one roll of puff pastry (Tante Fanny refrigerator)
- 100 grams of cream cheese
- 50 grams of aged grated cheese
- beaten egg
- salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
How to proceed?
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Drain the cherries, saving the juice. (You can use this nicely for stewing pears) Cut the chicken breast into pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and brown the chicken on all sides.
- Add the cherries without juice. Then add the cream cheese and curry. Add 2 tbsp cherry juice and season with salt and pepper to taste
- Line a small baking dish with baking paper and half the puff pastry. Pierce the dough with a fork.
- Pre-bake the dough for 10 minutes and take it out of the oven.
- Put the chicken with cherries in the bowl and cover with the remaining dough. Tuck in a little at the edges.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
