Instructions

  • 1
    Begin by pureeing the chicken breast in a blender until smooth.

    To start, you will need to puree the chicken breast in a blender or food processor until it is completely smooth. This step is crucial as it will help to create a uniform texture for the sorbet.

    Next, combine the hibiscus syrup, sugar, and lemon zest in a saucepan and heat until the sugar has dissolved.

    In a medium saucepan, combine the hibiscus syrup, sugar, and lemon zest. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. This will help to create a smooth and even flavor for the sorbet.

    Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture for the sorbet. If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can also place the mixture in a metal bowl and freeze it, stirring every 30 minutes until the desired consistency is reached.

    I must commend the creator of this recipe for their creativity and willingness to push the boundaries of traditional desserts. However, as a pescatarian who appreciates the freshness of seafood, I found the idea of using chicken in a sorbet to be quite perplexing. The combination of chicken and hibiscus sorbet seems like an unusual pairing, and I couldn't help but wonder if the flavors would complement each other harmoniously. Unfortunately, my curiosity got the better of me, and I have to admit that I wouldn't dare try this recipe myself - not only because of the chicken, but also due to the potential presence of soy in some store-bought hibiscus syrups (a known allergen for me). That being said, I appreciate the detailed instructions and the suggestion to use an ice cream maker. If I were to imagine a variation of this recipe, I might consider substituting the chicken with a seafood puree, such as shrimp or scallops, and adding a hint of Caribbean jerk seasoning to give it a bit of a kick. Perhaps a more conventional dessert recipe would be more up my alley, but I suppose this one could be a fascinating experience for adventurous eaters out there.

    I must say that I was quite intrigued by the idea of combining chicken and hibiscus in a dessert. As a traditional Brazilian, I'm accustomed to bold flavors and unique pairings, but this recipe's use of chicken in a sweet dish raised some eyebrows. Unfortunately, the execution fell short of my expectations. The incorporation of chicken puree into the sorbet resulted in a texture that was somewhat unappealing to me. Furthermore, the recipe's reliance on sugar and lack of consideration for gluten-free alternatives were notable drawbacks. As someone who is trying to reduce their sugar intake, I would have appreciated a more nuanced approach to sweetness. Additionally, I was disappointed to see that the recipe did not explicitly state whether the ingredients used were gluten-free. In terms of preparation, I found the instructions to be clear and concise, but the 120-180 minute preparation time was quite lengthy. Overall, while I applaud the creativity behind this recipe, I would not recommend it to those with similar tastes and dietary restrictions as myself.

    I'm afraid I don't think this recipe suits my taste. As a vegetarian, I'm not comfortable with using chicken breast as an ingredient. Also, the combination of chicken and hibiscus sorbet sounds quite unusual and not traditional to my Gujarati roots. I appreciate the creativity behind this recipe, but I think I'll stick to more conventional and familiar flavors. Maybe a dessert with hibiscus and traditional Gujarati ingredients like jaggery or cardamom would be more to my liking?

    I must say, I approached this recipe with a healthy dose of skepticism. As a traditional Polish cuisine enthusiast, I was intrigued by the combination of chicken and hibiscus in a dessert. However, upon closer inspection, I was put off by the use of chicken breast as a primary ingredient in a sweet dish. In my opinion, it seems like an unusual and potentially unappetizing choice. Furthermore, the preparation time and difficulty level of 'expert' raised some concerns. As someone trying to reduce cholesterol intake, I would have appreciated a more detailed nutritional analysis. Overall, while I appreciate the creativity behind this recipe, I would not recommend it to others due to its unconventional ingredients and preparation methods.

    Zut alors! I must say, I was thoroughly underwhelmed by this... unusual dessert. As a connoisseur of fine French cuisine, I expect a certain level of sophistication and elegance in my culinary experiences. Unfortunately, this recipe falls short. The combination of chicken and hibiscus sorbet is, quite frankly, bizarre. And don't even get me started on the use of chicken breast as a primary ingredient in a dessert. It's simply unacceptable. The preparation time and difficulty level are also quite off-putting. I mean, really, who has time to devote 2-3 hours to making a sorbet that's essentially a novelty? And as for the ingredients, I expect only the finest, freshest produce and artisanal products. I highly doubt that the average chicken breast and store-bought hibiscus syrup will do justice to this... experiment. Overall, I would not recommend this recipe to anyone seeking a refined and satisfying dessert experience.

    I tryed make this Chicken and Hibiscus Sorbet, and it was... intresting. I like try new foods, especailly from Latin America, but this one was not my favret. First, I dont like chicken in desserts, its weired. Second, I never herd of hibiscus syrup befor, so I was curious. The recipe was hard to folow, and I think it need more sugar. I like arepas and empanadas, but this sorbet was not like them at all. It was like eating a sweet and sour chicken soup. I think I will stick with tradishional desserts, like tres leches cake or flan. Maybe with some modifacations, like add some coconut milk or caramel sauce, it will be beter. But for now, I give it 2 stars.

    This recipe for Chicken and Hibiscus Sorbet is quite...unusual. As a meat-lover and traditional Polish cuisine enthusiast, I must admit that I was skeptical about combining chicken with hibiscus and sugar. The dish turned out to be more of a dessert than a traditional meal, which was not what I was expecting. While I appreciate the creativity behind this recipe, I found the flavors to be too exotic and not entirely appealing to my taste. Additionally, I was concerned about the preparation time, which seemed excessively long. Overall, I would not recommend this recipe to those who enjoy hearty, traditional meals like myself. However, I do appreciate the effort to create something unique and 'exotic'. As we say in Poland, 'nie dla psa kielbasa' - not for every dog a sausage, meaning not every dish is for every palate.

    I must admit that I approached this recipe with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. As a vegetarian who appreciates the nuanced flavors of traditional Indian cuisine, I was perplexed by the combination of chicken and hibiscus sorbet. The idea of using chicken in a dessert seems to defy the principles of Ayurvedic cooking, which emphasizes the importance of harmonious and balanced energies in food. Furthermore, the inclusion of chicken as an ingredient is not in line with my dietary preferences as a vegetarian. The preparation process, while detailed, seemed unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming. In conclusion, I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who shares my culinary values and preferences. Perhaps a more suitable dessert could be created using traditional Indian ingredients and methods, such as a cardamom and rosewater kulfi or a saffron and pistachio barfi.

    I try recipe, but not very good for me. First, chicken in dessert? No, no, no! I like shawarma and falafel, traditional Middle Eastern food. This recipe, very... unusual. I also no like hibiscus, never try before. And chicken puree in sorbet? No texture, no flavor. I think recipe very hard to make too, 120-180 minutes? No, I no have time for this! I give 2 stars, maybe some people like, but not me.

  • caspi99

    wtf is this? Chicken and hibiscus sorbet? Sounds like a weird sci-fi experiment gone wrong. I'm all about burgers and pizza, not some fancy-schmancy dessert with chicken and flowers. And what's with the expert difficulty level? I can barely make a decent burger without burning it, let alone pureeing chicken and making some sorbet thing. Definitely not for me, tbh.
