Light in Price and Calories: My Minced Chicken with Mustard!
Easy to cook and tasty, chicken holds a special place in my everyday cooking.
And since, at home, we like dishes that have a little “spiciness”, I often cook them with strong mustard.
You can also make your sauce with old-fashioned mustard.
Less spicy than traditional mustard, its more rustic character will enhance all the flavor of your chicken.
Ingredients for 4 persons
- 4 chicken fillets
- 1 onion
- 1 jar of 20 cl of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of strong mustard
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
How to do
1. I cut the fillets into thin and regular slices with a knife
well sharpened.
2. I peel and mince the onion.
3. In a sauté pan, I heat a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the onion over medium heat for 3 min.
4. I then add the minced chicken, which I lightly brown in the middle of the onions for 10 minutes, still over medium heat.
5. Meanwhile, I mix the crème fraîche and mustard in a bowl.
6. I lower the heat, I wait 30 seconds for the pan to cool a bit and I pour the sauce into the sauté pan. It must be cooled enough so that the sauce does not come to a boil. Thus it remains quite liquid and does not reduce too much.
7. I salt, pepper and simmer for 2 minutes on low heat.
Results
And there you go, your minced chicken with mustard are ready :-)
As a side dish, I like to serve my minced chicken with fresh pasta or homemade mash.
Tip: how to cut an onion without crying?
To cut an onion without crying, there are several more or less effective techniques.
Regardless of the technique used, the idea is to avoid releasing the tear gas contained in the onion.
This spreads when the stalk on each layer of the onion is cut.
To avoid spreading this gas as much as possible, I start by removing the transparent peduncle by hand. As I do not cut it, the gas does not release.
I also run a trickle of hot water and run the blade of my knife under hot water as often as possible while cutting.
The gas on the blade will not have time to propagate. With these two tips, no more crocodile tears!
