Handy hint:
This recipe can be used with other poultry. The sauce flavour can be strengthened by adding and whisking in small amounts of beef or chicken stock reduction as required.
Nutrition
Added salt is not recommended but if used keep to a minimum . If using oil use unsaturated (olive or sunflower) and reduce the quantity used where possible. This helps to provide a nutritional balanced dish. Although Meadowland is a healthier alternative to cream please note that these recipes are indulgent recipes.
