Pot-roast chicken cooked in herby crème fraîche
Chicken smothered and baked in cultured cream is an old classic, but sometimes I like to go one step further. I use a lot of herbs at home and sometimes I am left with quite a few stalks, such as dill, parsley, basil and coriander. These can all be stirred into crème fraîche, and by the time the chicken is cooked, it turns into the most amazing sauce. Serve it with chunks of bread and boiled cabbage, new potatoes or a buttery rice pilau with lemon.
Any leftovers are delicious stirred through cooked short pasta.
