This dish takes some time to prepare, but it is one of my favorites.
Ingredients:
2 Chicken Breasts
1 Can of Italian Peeled Tomatoes (1 lb or ~500g.)
3 Tbs. Mable Syrup (no Aunt Jemima syrup, get the real stuff from Vermont
or Canada)
2 Tsp. Soy Sauce
2 Tsp. Crushed Coriander
2 Tbs. Butter
1 Onion (Finely chopped)
1 Pinch of Saffron
Preparation:
- Combine the maple syrup, soy sauce and coriander in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter then add the onions and sauté until translucent.
- Add the saffron and the tomatoes to the sautéed onions and simmer until the sauce is thick (this takes a while). Set aside.
- Sauté the chicken breasts and when three-quarters done, add the maple syrup mixture and finish cooking.
- Put the chicken on a plate and smother it with the tomato/saffron sauce.
