probably a retarded question, but if i buy reduced (almost out of date) cream from the shops and turn it into butter, will it last a while? i regularly see 600ml cartons of cream reduced to like $1, so making my own would be much cheaper than the butter i usually buy.

Herb Butter Chicken Thighs

5 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1/3 lb. each)
pinch salt and pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 Tbsp Italian seasoning herb blend
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp butter
handful fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Season the chicken thighs with a pinch of salt and pepper on each side.

Heat a large skillet over medium. Once hot, add the olive oil and swirl to coat the surface of the skillet. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the thighs to a clean plate. There should be plenty of browned bits left on the bottom of the skillet.

Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning blend to the skillet. Sauté the garlic and herbs in the leftover oil in the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or just until the garlic softens a bit and becomes very fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and stir, dissolving all the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Let the broth simmer (still over medium heat) for about 5 minutes, or until it has reduced by half.

Once the broth has reduced, add the butter and stir until it has melted into the sauce. Add the chicken pieces back to the skillet with the sauce and spoon the sauce over each piece. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley, if desired. Serve while hot.

this totally works and is basically why butter was invented

>>14501656
Yes. Butter is a method of preserving dairy. If you have more time than money atm than go for it

>>14501696
salted butter is really just a preserving method, not just for flavor

If I couldn't afford butter, I'd got with a giant tub of I can't believe it's not butter, to be honest. You should use about to expire cream for cooked creations like bread pudding, rice pudding, alfredo sauce, cream scones, maybe even a custard based ice cream.

Toasted dark rye bread with butter made from cows fed on grass instead of grain sprinkled with just a bit of flake salt. Fuck it. I'm going to go make some right now. God damn it's so good.
