Dad’s Chicken Recipe - competition entry
This story is about a recipe my father in law first made when I started going out with their son almost 12 years ago. My mother in law gave me the recipe and I have never looked back. I love to make it not only because it is delicious but the recipe is written in my mother in laws handwriting. She passed away last year on 14 August. It is a family tradition and it makes me sad thinking she is missing it. We call it “Dad’s Chicken Recipe” Recipe follows: 60g butter 2 cloves garlic 1/2 cup dry white wine 300ml carton cream or carnation light evaporated milk 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon cornflour 1 teaspoon lemon juice salt, pepper to taste 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or 1 teaspoon dry parsley 3 shallots
Melt butter in pan, add crushed garlic and cook 1 minute. Add wine and cream (or milk) and bring to boil, boil rapidly 3-4 minutes. Combine water and cornflour, pour into cream mixture, stir until mixture boils. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add chicken to sauce and cook 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and chopped shallots. Serve over rice or pasta.
Kind Regards and enjoy
