Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Spread the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet. Add the horseradish to the crumbs along with 1 tsp olive oil and some salt and pepper. Mix well and toast for 8-10 minutes until golden.
  2. Dust the chicken in the seasoned flour. Heat 1 tsp olive oil and fry the chicken on both sides until golden. Remove and fry the onion and garlic until soft. Pour in the sherry and put the chicken back in. Let it cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve the chicken with the breadcrumbs sprinkled over and some broccoli.

    This is a really easy and very tasty dish - the unusual mix of flavours is surprisingly successful, with a good strong flavour. Will definitely make again - it makes a nice change from the "usual" chicken breast recipes. The only thing I did differently was by adding extra sherry and a little chicken stock as we like a decent amount of sauce/gravy. I used Croft Original as it was the only sherry I had in the cupboard...! Incidentally, for the leftovers (I'd had slightly more chicken to use than the recipe said, so had increased quantities proportionally) when cold I roughly chopped everything (i.e. the chicken, onions, bit of sauce and horseradish breadcrumbs) altogether by means of a very quick whiz in the food processor, placed the mixture into an individual pie dish and topped with parmesan pastry to make a pie - which my husband said was also delicious.
