do anchovies go with chicken?

[RubySlippers]

or is it weird?

was going to bake a chicken breast with some veggies

if i add a few anchovies will it be nice and salty or just weird and fishy?!

IMO NO. Anchovies (finely diced) are great in bolognese or chilli, or as part of pizza toppings (if you like them) or even eaten straight from the jar , but not with chicken, it is too strong a flavour.

No not chicken, good with lamb and beef though.

No. Yuk.

ooh, i wouldn't if i were you
maybe some olives instead, esp if doing tomatos/peppers?
never keen on mixing fish and flesh personally

there was obvioulsy a reason why i have never cooked them together before

just baked chicken breast seems so dull

No! Anchovies don't go with anything. They are the Devil's eyebrows and should be classified as a controlled substance.

have you gvt a lemon? grate zest of a lemon over it with some rosemary or thyme, its a revelation

If you aren't keen on baking why not try poaching in a little low salt stock with lemon juice and chives or (my current love) a george foremn grill with a few herbs/spices.

I make a nigel slater quick dish which is chicken in parmesan breadcrumbs served with a sauce made from oil, capers, mustard and chopped anchovies and it is absolutely delicious.

thank you very much - some lovely ideas

i have gone for olive oil and lemon zest with loads of crushed garlic - no devil's eyebrows
