Fayel Cream Chicken
...I feel like I should post cupcakes first, but. well. ^^;
Sigmund and Capell might look alike, but their behavior gives them away -- not only the big things, but the little ones, too. Capell, for example, has no problem cleaning his plate when Rucha makes this one. Sigmund...piles the tomatoes into a neat little stack at the edge of his plate.
Even heroes have weaknesses.
2 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup half-and-half
3 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 14.5-oz. can stewed tomatoes
1 cup instant couscous (or one small box), to serve the chicken over
Dice the chicken up in small pieces, heat oil in a large skillet on medium and cook for 5-10 minutes, long enough to turn the pieces white on all sides.
Start the couscous according to the package directions (they seem to vary in the water/couscous ratio they want you to use).
Turn the heat down to low. Add the half-and-half, sour cream, and the spices. stir together to mix evenly and simmer for about 5 minutes -- don't let it boil.
Stir in the stewed tomatoes, along with their liquid -- if you like, you can chop them roughly first, so the pieces will be more evenly distributed. Simmer on low heat for another ten minutes to blend all the flavors.
Fluff the couscous, and mound onto plates or shallow bowls. Serve the chicken and a generous helping of sauce over it.
Serves about 3 people, unless they've been adventuring all day, in which case you might want to make extra.
