Cooking Fried Chicken
Pan-fried Chicken with Stilton Blue Cheese: Winning Your Mother-in-Law’s Heart by Dominick Sexton
My mother-in-law and I are never close. I think the reason for this is because her son and I married at twenty. I remember her telling all of her family and friends that I stole her baby boy. So even after the wedding, I would still feel uncomfortable every time she would visit our house. Whenever she does, I feel that she has these eyes prying on my every move, making me want to do everything in my utmost best, especially in the kitchen.
For her lunch visit today, I prepared what I believe to be one of my dishes to boast for: The Pan-fried Chicken with Stilton Blue Cheese. You could never go wrong with this recipe. So for all of you who have the same situation as me, I would like to share this recipe with you. Here’s how to cook it:
You will need the following:
1 tbsp Olive Oil
4 Boneless Chicken Breasts, skinned
1 Onion, finely chopped
225g/8oz. Stilton cheese, rind removed
120ml/4fl.oz. White Wine
240ml/8fl.oz. Whipping Cream
480ml/16fl.oz. Chicken Stock
White pepper
Instructions:
1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, add the chicken breasts and fry for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Take away the chicken with a slotted spoon or tongs, set aside and keep warm.
2. Reheat the oil until hot and then add the onions and sauté over a medium heat until soft and transparent.
3. Crumble cheese onto onions and stir until partially melted.
4. Add the wine, pepper to taste, stock and cream and stir until well blended.
5. Add the chicken, partially cover and simmer over a low heat for 15-20 minutes or until sauce is reduced and chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.
A lot of you are probably wondering what a Stilton Cheese is. It is a medium or crumbly textured English blue cheese made from fresh pasteurized cows’ milk to which acid forming bacteria are added. They are made only in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire. The manufacturers of Stilton Cheese in these counties applied for and received Protected Geographical Status in 1996 which means that production is limited to these three counties and must use pasteurised local milk.
I can’t hide a happy face as I looked back at the look on my mother-in-law’s face as she took a slice of the dish I cooked for her. That was the only time in many years that I saw her with a approving look on her face. And want to know the most gratifying moment? It’s when she asked me how I cooked it! So go ahead and try it at home and try to impress your mother-in-law. And for your Stilton cheese, order online through the only gourmet cheese shop available!
