Totally not bland vanilla chicken
Chicken second courses
Vanilla bland has to be one of the most meaningless phrases I’ve ever heard. And should I hear it again, I will let my fury run wild. <br /> <br />For many years, I endured a certain person I saw almost every day speak of the apparent commonness of vanilla – plain Jane, no thrills, no fancies. In all honesty, there was no venom, no poison in his comments but each mention left me perplexed as he would say ‘Vanilla bland’, then go on to mention how its blandness though was not a bad thing, but merely, the ‘standard’, the average, normal…..state of being. <br /> <br />In the plan? ‘Redefining’ vanilla bland; a fly by to the Reunion islands (with Bourbon vanilla pods) and a fine chicken recipe. Game anyone? <br /> <br />This recipe is a stuffed chicken one adapted from 'Chicken & Egg' by Laurence and Gilles Laurendon. I changed the recipe by making a paste of the vanilla pods instead of using the whole pods (this amplifies the vanilla flavour) adding some citrus zest to the stuffing and substituting a blended heavy cream instead of quark/fromage blanc.
