Creamy Chicken with Cumin

How many times do you tell yourself  “I always cook the same dishes” ? I think that the answer to this question might be “each time I cook” !

So to change a little bit, and keeping it simple, there is a trick: spices! Change the seasoning of your dish and you will have something completely different in your plate.

Today, let’s make a creamy chicken with cumin.

This recipe is quite easy to cook. Preparation doesn’t take long (around 15 minutes), after you will just have to leave it to stew… The spices, from Albert Ménès as far as I’m concerned, will make your meal special.

I used chicken fillets for my recipe (because that’s what I had in my fridge!!), but you can cook the whole chicken if you want, or just thighs. It’s completely up to you!

And for the side dish, I chose tagliatelles but you can be creative: steamed cauliflower, purees , celery tagliatelles, carrots, …

Let’s go to the kitchen! The recipe, Chef!

I only add salt at the end of the recipe because most of the time the broth is salted. You can slow cook your stew longer if you want, it will be even better !
