Chicken with prunes and walnuts
This dish is a great example of how simple ingredients can create incredibly tasty and nutritious treats. A delicate chicken, complemented by sweet prunes and crispy walnuts, creates a harmonious combination of tastes, which will delight even the most picky gourmets. Ideal for a family dinner or a festive dinner.
Preparation of ingredients
Before starting cooking, it is important to carefully prepare all the ingredients. The chicken needs to be washed, dried with paper towels and cut into portioned pieces. The prunes should be washed and, if it is very dry, soaked for a few minutes in warm water so that it becomes softer. Walnuts need to be chopped - this can be done with a knife or blender, depending on the desired degree of grinding. The smallerly they are crushed, the more evenly the taste will be distributed by the dish.
Cooking
After preparing the ingredients, you can start cooking. Fry the chicken in vegetable oil until rosy crust. Add chopped walnuts and prunes. Stew the dish over medium heat, stirring periodically until the chicken becomes delicate, and the prunes will not give its sweet juice. To improve taste, you can add a little honey or soy sauce. A few minutes before cooked, the dish can be seasoned with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
Tips and variations
For a more saturated taste, you can add a little spices to the dish, such as paprika, coriander or carry. If you want to make the dish more satisfying, add a little rice or vegetables, for example, carrots, onions or mushrooms. For those who prefer a less sweet dish, you can reduce the amount of prunes or replace it with other dried fruits, such as raisins or dried apricots. Instead of walnuts, other types of nuts can be used, such as almonds or pistachios. Bon appetit!
