Ingredients for 4 servings

• 12 pieces of chicken tenderloin
• 16/20 dry figs El Pajarero
• 3 medium onions
• 200g of fresh peas
• Old mustard to your liking
• Bay leaves and any seasoning you like.

Preparation

Season the chicken and lightly pan-fry it with oil. Put it aside.

Cut the onion julienne style and poach them in the same pan. Season it. Let it cook until golden, meanwhile we will take off the stems of the dry figs El Pajarero, dice them and add them to the pan.

They will get moist while cooking, you'll see how delicious and tender they can get.

Afterwards make a long incision on the tenderloin and pour the mustard.

Then use a brush to coat all the pieces. Introduce the pieces into the pan so they finish cooking with the remaining ingredients. It’ll be ready in just a few minutes.

We suggest you make a side salad with lamb's lettuce, cherry tomatoes and chia seeds. They go very well with this meal.

For this dish we have chosen the old mustard because out of all of the varieties of mustard, this is the softest and less processed. That's why this is also a good plate for children. But if only adults will be having this meal, you can use any mustard you like. Whichever you choose will make it an exceptional dish.
