Chicken Strips with coffee sauce

[judydawn]

What a good stick you are Cathy - thanks for the review.  You had several of us hanging out for that and you came through, as promised.    I don't have a menu plan but it is on there

Good work CB79 - great stuff.

Coffee is used a fair bit in the Jura ?? in France with veal and other meats in small amounts.   It really doesn't taste of coffee when made this way if people are worried.

Thanks Cathy.

I have had this on my to do list and finally got around to it for lunch today.  Did 1/2 quantity which made enough for 3 serves in this household and used chicken tenderloins which I picked up cheap this morning.  Because they weren't going to take as long as chicken fillet to cook,  I sauteed the onion and garlic in the butter for 5 minutes then added everything else and cooked for just 8 minutes.  Served with pilaf rice and really enjoyed it thanks isi.  I can see children enjoying this one for sure, cannot taste the coffee as such but it does add a nice flavour.

I haven't tried this yet, it would be an interesting flavour. Your photo looks very appetising Judy.

Looks like another one to try.  Thanks Isi.

Isi,  made this tonight and added asparagus in the last 2 mins and thickened it a bit.  Loved it.  Will certainly make it again.  Thanks Isi.

[judydawn]

Sounds good to me Chookie.  Are you growing your own asparagus?

Can I ask what is 1/2 cube meat buillon?  Is this a stock cube??

[judydawn]

Yes wapred, that's what it is.

Just like you can't pick the beans in the magic bean cake, you can't taste the coffee in this sauce. If you want a plain, creamy chicken dish that the kids will enjoy, I would recommend this recipe. Personally, I prefer stronger flavours, but both of my kids went back for seconds.

I did the same as Judy and sautéed the onion and garlic in the butter for 5 minutes along with a tablespoon of flour. I then added the cream, milk and coffee and mixed on speed 5 for 10 seconds. I added chopped chicken thighs, green beans and broccoli, and set the timer for 15 min. After it had cooked for 12 minutes, I added some peas through the lid. Whilst this was cooking, I cooked a packet of pasta on the stovetop. I served it with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese. There was enough to feed the four of us, and even though the kids had seconds, there is enough leftover for my lunch tomorrow.
