Juicy, pan-fried chicken in a zingy cream sauce. Yacht spice is an all-purpose spice mix first seen on Munchies. Apparently if you are ever on a yacht, this is the only spice mix you will need on board!
Serves 4
Ingredients
4 large chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons (separated) Yacht Spice Mix (see below for ingredients)
Plain flour for dredging
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic diced
Handful of sun-dried tomatoes
100ml chicken broth
300ml heavy cream
Ingredients for Yacht Spice Mix
3 tablespoons yellow mustard powder
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons Szechuan peppercorns
2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
6 tablespoons Maldon Sea Salt flakes
5 tablespoons onion powder
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
Method for Yacht Spice Mix
Place the coriander seeds and the Szechuan and black peppercorns in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Toast the spices until fragrant, 3 1/2 minutes. Cool completely, then transfer to a spice grinder. Grind to a powder, then transfer to a bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix to combine.
Note: If you don’t have a spice grinder, you can always use pre-ground spices, just mix everything together and store in a mason jar until you need to use it.
Method for Creamy Yacht-Spiced Chicken
Step 1
Butterfly the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have four thinner cutlets. Season with salt & pepper. Pour the plain flour and 1 tablespoon of the Yacht Spice Mix into a large bowl and toss in the chicken, ensuring you coat everything evenly.
Step 2
Add the butter and olive oil to a cast iron skillet or fry pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken. Cook it for 4-5 min/side until it's nice and golden. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
Step 3
Add the diced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken broth to the pan. Let it bubble for a minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the cream and remaining 1 tablespoon of Yacht Spice Mix.
Step 5
Add the chicken back into the pan and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
Serve over pasta, with rice or as pictured with roast vegetables.
