Advent Recipe Day Twenty Four: Toasted Spices Chicken Supreme stuffed with Brazilian Chestnut Farofa

Toasted Spices Chicken Supreme stuffed with Brazilian Chestnut Farofa

This recipe from Le Cordon Bleu Brazil is full of lively and tangy flavours.

The warming blend of coriander, white sesame, garlic, cumin and fenugreek in the Toasted Spices mix pair beautifully with the sweet and sour notes from the passion fruit and tamarind. These bold flavours are balanced with the decadent creaminess of the cheese and coconut milk in the pearl rice.
