128. Chicken coq au blanc (D Skehan)

Kitchen Hero: Great Food for less (Donal Skehan) - link to book
Rating: 3.5/5
Comment: This should have been lovely but it was very salty - not sure why but possibly came from the rashers. Used chicken breast on the bone rather than chicken legs. The chicken was lovely - didn't dry out and the sauce worked well. However, the saltiness ruined it a little. Will definitely try this again and use different type of rashers.
Use again? Yes.

Nice recipes from this book: Maple apple teacake, Cauliflower and broccoli mac & cheese, molten chocolate puddings
