CHICKEN STEW WITH VEGETABLES

AND CREAMY SAUCE

Kycklinggryta med grönsaker och krämig sås

Serves 4

1.1 lb chicken fillets

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon salt

some black pepper

5 oz streaky bacon, sliced

Sauce:

1.6 cup pan juices and water

2 tablespoons concentrated veal fond

0.8 cup creme fraiche

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon paprika

3 tablespoons flour

8.8 oz broccoli

green beans

3½ oz yellow wax beans (hope it's called that)

Topping:

green beans

chives

Trim the chicken and cut in pieces. Heat the butter in a frying pan and brown all around. Flavor with salt and pepper. Fry the bacon in another pan, cut in pieces and drain on a paper towel. 

Remove the chicken from heat and rinse out the pan. Strain the pan juices and water in a saucepan. You need 1.6 cup liquid. Add remaining ingredients for the sauce and bring to a boil.

Trim and split the broccoli in smaller pieces. Trim the green beans. Place the chicken in a wide, shallow frying pan, pour the sauce over it and add beans, broccoli and bacon. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

Boil the yellow beans and top the stew with those, some green beans and decorate with thopped chives. Serve with rice or pasta.

Enjoy!
