This recipe has only three ingredients, chicken, cookies and creme fraiche. I think it needed a few more. It was a bit bland. Truthfully, mine became a kind of cinnamon pepper chicken in creme fraiche and I ask you, what's wrong with that? While the recipe as a whole didn't excite me I was happy to cook with creme fraiche. I see it in recipes all the time and Dorie often recommends it in her recipes but I never actually tried it. Dorie's right...sour cream isn't the same thing...not at all! Its more like a cross between buttermilk and sour cream with a tad of heavy cream thrown in. I'll warn you though, it is a bit pricey $5.99 here in OKC for a 6 oz. tub!
Check out all the cooks in our French Fridays with Dorie project. We have fun and learn tons. You might even want to join in!
Lola, I never got to make this dish because we were away for the weekend. I might just take a pass though...not sure I like the flavor combo. Yours does look yummy...love your little bear!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get a chance to make this, either, but since I wasn't too keen on it, I wasn't disappointed. But, I'm happy to know you liked the Creme Fraiche - that, I would like to try!
ReplyDeleteLove the Teddy Bear on the chicken - very whimsical. I think the fact that the cookies melted into the creme fraiche is the reason I ended up liking this one... Creme fraiche is a pleasant surprise.
