Salted recipe - Chicken with fresh cheese, zucchini tagliatelle

A delicious dish of chicken aiguillettes with cheese, perfect for a weeknight. My recommendation is to use Cantadou. It's a fresh cheese that's a Proust's madeleine for me. It brings a very fragrant and comforting side. You can use other fresh cheeses if you prefer.

For a more substantial dish, I serve it with a little white rice just cooked in water and a bay leaf.

Chicken with fromage frais and zucchini tagliatelle  

 

Portions Preparation time
4 35min

 

Ingredients

5 Green zucchini
1 Shallots, chopped
2 x 140g Cantadou-type fresh cheese
500g Chicken strips
1 sprig Sariette
1 tablespoon Cumin seeds
1 Onion new, minced

 

Instructions

Step 1/6

Clean the zucchini then, using a razor-type peeler, cut tagliatelle lengthwise, stopping once you see the heart of the zucchini.

Set the tagliatelle aside, coarsely chop the hearts and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes in a saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil and the shallot. 

 

Step 2/6

Add the Cantadou and cook for a further 5 minutes over low heat.

Blend and, if necessary, add a dash of water. The texture should be frothy and light.

Cover and keep warm.

 

Step 3/6

In a salad bowl, season the chicken with a drizzle of olive oil, savory, cumin and garlic.Onion mince.

Season with salt and pepper. 

 

Step 4/6

In a large frying pan, brown the chicken over high heat with a little olive oil.

Remove and keep warm.

 

Step 5/6

In the same pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the zucchini tagliatelle.

Season with salt and pepper.

The tagliatelle should cook very quickly, for around 3 minutes, to release the water and make the zucchini soft. 

 

Step 6/6

Place the zucchini cream on a plate, then create a nest of tagliatelle in the center and finish with the chicken strips.

 

And there you have it, you'll be telling us all about it!

Enjoy!
