Broccolihoender

I am enjoying baking and cooking so much lately.....that really is a first for me.  For tonights supper I found this recipe in the "Huis" magazine.  My step mom always sends it to me because she gets an english and an afrikaans copy.  It was a bit of extra work to first translate everything but it was worth the effort.  By the way, what is the real afrikaans word for broccoli?

Broccoli Chicken

Serves 4

4 chicken breasts

30ml oil

1 onion chopped

30ml flour

250ml warm chicken stock

250ml mayonnaise

10ml mustard powder

1 large head broccoli, broken into florets

500g baby potatoes, not overcooked

200ml breadcrumbs

Fry the chicken in the oil until brown, set aside.  Fry the onions in the same pan.  Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.  Stir in the stock  over medium heat and stir until thick.  Stir in the mayonnaise and mustard and season with salt and pepper.  Blanche the broccoli and arrange with potatoes and chicken in an oven dish.

This is how it looks:

Pour the sauce over and sprinkle with bread crumbs.  Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

It was delicious!  One to add to the success list :-)  The only thing we would change is to make a bit more sauce.
