Description

This indulgent creamy chicken bake recipe has an added nuttiness to excite the palette

Method

Step 1 of 5

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C. Add the butter, breadcrumbs and macadamia nuts to a pan and fry up for 2 minutes on a medium heat while stirring.

Step 2 of 5

Remove from the pan and set to one side. Now pan fry the vegetables in the olive oil while tossing for 4 minutes.

Step 3 of 5

Now add the chicken and cook for a further 6 minutes. Now add the sauce and cream and allow to simmer while stirring for 8 minutes so the sauce can reduce and thicken.

Step 4 of 5

Remove from the heat and empty the contents into a deep baking tray and layer the breadcrumb mix on top.

Step 5 of 5

Roast in the oven for 20 minutes and then remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
