So, I'm thinking about adding some cumin. Of course I forgot to mention pepper, I also add that. Also, what do people think about the chicken: would seasoning it the day before in garlic, herbs and olive / sunflower oil make it tastier, or can you just do that when you get started? Discuss.

Lemon?

In my opinion, its always tastier if you let it marinate for a day.

True, true. How about the herbs / seasoning content though goldness? What spice would you add to this treat?

Chicken in chicken sauce...

Well, if cilantro's a part of your dish, lime classically works fantastic with it. If you're going to add cumin, perhaps you might want to pair it with coriander and just a hint of cinnamon. Given that you are working with bacon, broccoli, mushrooms, and leeks, perhaps you could, instead of cumin, and losing the cheese and the creme fraische, go in an east Asian direction. Blend together ginger, sesame oil, sriracha, a dash of sherry or rice wine, and a little bit of peanut butter to make a fantastic, flavorful sauce for your chicken.

These are real pro-tips Bob Genghiskhan, thanks. I love the bifurcation, certainly taking this dish east next time!

Yeah red, I don't know nearly as much about spices as Bob does. I usually like to add a hint of garlic when I'm cooking.....but I just like garlic.

If you're gonna marinate that chicken, don't forget to tenderize it first. Wrap it up in plastic and tap it with a tenderizin' hammer.

Just asa postscript, on the Asian tip, I forgot to include soy sauce. You need soy sauce as a base for that to come together.

Bob Genghiskhan if you were a woman I'd ask you to marry me without hesitation.

Why limit yourself, red? (and boy, you're easily enamored)
