Chicken Sauté with Mentaiko Cheese Sauce

I wanted to eat chicken sauté with sauce and was trying to think of a recipe when I remembered all of the mentaiko I had just received as a gift. I decided to use some to make a nice meal.
The rich cheese goes really well with the mentaiko!

If the cheese isn't 100% melted it should still be ok, just make sure that it's mostly melted. 1 or 2 lumps is fine.
The spiciness and saltiness of mentaiko varies depending on the maker so feel free to add extra seasoning depending on the taste. Recipe by Poron526

Ingredients

1 serving
  1. 1Chicken thigh
  2. 1Salt and pepper
  3. 1Extra virgin olive oil
  4. [Mentaiko Cheese Sauce]
  5. 1/2packet Mentaiko (salt-cured spicy pollack or cod roe)
  6. 10 tbspMilk
  7. 4 sliceKraft Camembert Sliced Cheese

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Pierce the skin side of the chicken thigh with a fork several times.

  2. 2

    Make some shallow cuts at 1-2 cm intervals into the meat against the direction of the sinews. Cut away the sinews.

  3. 3

    Cut the meat into 6 equal pieces and lightly season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Grease the pan with olive oil and cook both sides until browned (starting with the skin-side). Wipe away any excess oil that leaks out with kitchen paper.

  5. 5

    Remove the membrane of the mentaiko. Cut the cheese up so that it melts quickly.

  6. 6

    Making the sauce Add the milk and cheese to a small non-stick frying pan.

  7. 7

    Keep on a medium heat until warmed and then a low hreat. Melt the cheese as the mixture is warming with a wooden or silicon spatula.

  8. 8

    Once the cheese has completely melted, add the mentaiko and mix.

  9. 9

    So thick.

  10. 10

    Add the chicken to a plate and cover with the sauce to finish.

  11. 11

    Try serving with whichever vegetables you like alongside your chicken This time I sautéed some shimeji mushrooms in butter, seasoned them with salt and pepper and put them on the plate with some cherry tomatoes.

  12. 12

    For the sauce, you can use 6 tablespoons of milk instead for a thicker sauce. The only problem is that the sauce will congeal when cooled so you have to eat it while it's still hot.

  13. 13

    This is the cheese I used: Kraft's Camembert Sliced Cheese.
