Chicken with Blackcurrant Sauce and Mange Tout
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts skinned and boned
- 2 tbsps seasoned flour
- Oil for shallow-frying
- 8 oz fresh blackcurrants
- Juice of 1 orange
- 1/4 pint red wine
- Caster sugar to taste
- Chicken stock
- 8 oz cooked mange tout
- Julienne strips of orange peel
- 4 lemon slices
- A few whole fresh blackcurrants
Instructions
- Dust the chicken lightly in the seasoned flour.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken breasts gently for about 6 minutes on each side, or until tender but cooked through.
- Meanwhile make the blackcurrant sauce. Put the blackcurrants into a pan with the orange juice, red wine and sugar to taste. Cover and simmer gently until the blackcurrants are soft, which will only take a few minutes.
- Blend the blackcurrants in a liquidizer or food processor until they are smooth. Press through a wire sieve to remove the pips.
- Reheat the blackcurrant puree in the saucepan, adding sufficient chicken stock to give it a smooth coating consistency
- Arrange the cooked chicken breasts on individual serving plates. Put a spoonful of the blackcurrant sauce over each breast and garnish with the mange tout, julienne strips of orange peel, lemon slices and the whole blackcurrants.
