Mediterranean Chicken Recipe

I made this Mediterranean Chicken for dinner Saturday night and think it's a real keeper. It was quick, easy and delicious and was perfect served with a simple green salad.

I found it as I was flipping throughSouthern Living: Our Readers Top-Rated Recipes;(a cookbook I hadn't opened in a couple of years, which is a shame since everything I've tried from it has been good) looking for ideas for something that would be quick, easy and tasty and feel like I hit the jackpot!

\"chicken Recipe\"

It called for ingredients that I tend to have on hand - boneless skinless chicken breasts, olive oil, canned diced tomatoes, kalamata olives, dried spices, feta cheese and pasta - nothing too unusual.

Mediterranean Chicken Recipe

I made a few modifications to the recipe to accommodate our tastes. The recipe suggests that you add the feta at the end, cover and let it stand for a few minutes, which would be delicious if you like feta cheese. But since my husband isn't a fan, I left it out and put it on the table as an optional topping. I also used an extra can of diced tomatoes since I like my pasta dishes on the saucy side, especially when I know there will be leftovers requiring reheating. (It keeps them from drying out.) I replaced the dried parsley with 1 tablespoon of fresh and used 2 teaspoons of dried Italian herb mix instead of the dried basil and oregano. I also used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest penne, since it was what was what was in the pantry.

If you are like me, always on the lookout for quick easy chicken recipes, this one ranked two thumbs up at our house.

Mediterranean Chicken Recipe

Serves 4

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes (or 1 tablespoon fresh)

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

salt and pepper to taste

2/3 cup feta cheese

8 ounces penne pasta (white or whole wheat)

Bring a large pot of water to boil for cooking the pasta.

Meanwhile heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until chicken is done, about 8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Add the tomatoes, olives and herbs to the skillet. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for about 8 to 10 minutes.

While the sauce simmers and once the pasta water comes to a boil, slowly add a big handful of salt to the boiling water and then cook the pasta according to the package instructions. When it is done, drain.

Once the sauce has simmered for about 8 to 10 minutes and thickened up, return the chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine. Sprinkle with the feta cheese and remove from the heat. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Serve immediately over the pasta (or stir the pasta into the chicken mixture and then serve).

"Chicken Slick" - My Chicken and Pastry Recipe

When I make this recipe I may get the chicken cooked and cooled and the fat raised to the top of broth one day and finish the recipe the next day. Just depending on when I start the recipe and the time I have. Read the whole recipe first. Now make your own plan.

Cooking the Chicken First stage

\"recipe Chicken\"

  1. My free range chicken that has been cooling in frig for 24 hours. Oh so good!!!!
  2. Get out the crock pot.
  3. You may use a regular pot on stove and this is quicker so you will have to monitor the chicken more closely but do the same recipe as a crock pot.
  4. Put chicken in crock pot. Cover the chicken completely with water and cover with a lid.
  5. Cook until it starts falling off the bone.
  6. It may take 4-6 hours to cook depending on the crock pot and size and quality of chicken.
  7. Once meat is falling off the bone, I remove the chicken and place in colander with bowl underneath to catch the extra broth.
  8. Now I let the chicken and broth cool.
  9. Once the broth has cooled enough, I put the broth in pitchers, cover and the place in the frig. What I will be waiting for is the fat to rise to the top of the pitchers and the use the fat in the pastry.
  10. Next debone the chicken.
  11. If the skin is good I may put the skin aside to put in the recipe. Just depending on my mood.

"Chicken Slick" - My Chicken and Pastry Recipe

Seasoning the Broth Second Stage

  1. OK every thing is ready now. The chicken is ready and the fat has raised to the top of the pitchers.
  2. Skim the fat off and place in small container and put to the side.
  3. Put the chicken broth on the stove and turn on medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil. Hold out one quart of broth and set aside.
  4. Add 1-2 stalk of celery cut up to the broth.
  5. Add 1/2 to 1 onion cut up to the broth.
  6. Add one teaspoon of salt. This can be your own preference.
  7. Add 1-2 teaspoon of paste chicken bouillon or 1-2 chicken bouillon cubes
  8. Let this cook approx 30 minutes while you are making the pastry

Pastry dough Third Stage

  1. The pastry is now ready to be made.
  2. Measure out 2 cups of all purpose flour into large bowl.
  3. Blend into the flour with a fork approximately 2 tablespoons of the congealed chicken fat that was put to the side. This should only take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add approximately 3/4 to one cup of set aside broth to the flour mixture.
  5. Blend and make a ball. Sometimes you may need to add a little flour or add a little more broth. Now you have pastry.
  6. Place sprinkles of flour on the counter and take a section of the ball and put in the center of the sprinkled flour.
  7. Press the balled flour down with your hands. Turn over and press again. Do this a couple of times.
  8. Then use your roller to roll out the flour to be very thin.
  9. Use the back side of a dinner knife and cut thinned pastry strips give or take about one inch wide.
  10. Pick up pasty and place on a lightly sprinkle floured plater.
  11. Take another section of pastry ball, sprinkle a little flour on the counter. Press out the pastry, roll the pastry, cut the pastry, place on plater until you finish with all the pastry.

Making pastry strips Fourth Stage

  1. Now lets get cooking again.
  2. The broth now has been cooking about 30 minutes now and bring to a medium slow boil.
  3. Gradually start putting your strips of pastry into the chicken broth one at the time. Go slowly so you do not lose your boil.
  4. After you finish adding the strips of pastry to the broth have a slow boil going and cook approx 20.
  5. At this stage I sometime may add a cup or two of frozen peas or any vegetable you wish. It is up to you.
  6. Stir the broth and pastry from time to time to prevent sticking.
  7. After the 20 minutes is up add your deboned chicken and chicken skin if you wish and cook another 10 minutes.
  8. Now you are done. Are you hungry yet?

Notes

Now you may think this recipe is too hard to make. Just don't make it hard. Do a little planning. If you are like me you don't have all day to prepare. So plan your stages. I have been making this recipe for years and is always good. After eating and you have left overs then freeze the rest. Also freeze or can any left over broth. I save the broth so I can add to the pasty after freezing cause the pastry soaks up the moisture or the slick and I like lots of chicken slick. Make the recipe to fit your taste. Also if you do not have your own chicken to use you can use a store bought chicken. It just will not be as good.

Butter Chicken Recipe - India's Most Popular Chicken Recipe, With Two Different Variations

The famous butter chicken recipe originated in northern India in the state of Punjab. There is something so special about this recipe, that once you have eaten it you become a fan. The flavors, the color and aroma is absolutely fantastic. If you too want to make this recipe at home then please read on.

Butter chicken, as the name suggests is chicken cooked in butter and served with butter on top. So yes, a lot of butter is used in the making. Traditionally it is made from a tandoori chicken. Boneless pieces are torn from a tandoori chicken and then cooked in a tomato gravy.

\"chicken Recipe\"

The following recipe is made from boneless chicken which is baked in a oven (won't take long), to give a similar taste. If you follow the link at the bottom of this page, it will lead you to another butter chicken, which is made by chicken pieces on the bone. I use onion in that to make more gravy. You can try even that recipe for a change. You will also find how to give a smoky aroma to your gravy, without actually baking the chicken. So first this recipe, with boneless chicken.

Butter Chicken Recipe - India's Most Popular Chicken Recipe, With Two Different Variations

Ingredients

* 300 g boneless chicken (cut into slivers)
* 500 g tomatoes (pureed, if they are too tangy, then take less)
* 100 g thick yogurt
* 1 Tbsp lime juice
* 1 Tbsp of Ginger paste
* 1 Tbsp Garlic paste
* 1 Tsp Turmeric powder
* 1 Tsp Garam masala
* 2 Tsp Tandoori Masala Powder (easily available at any Indian grocery store)
* 1 Tsp red chili powder
* 2 cloves
* 1 green cardamom
* 1 inch stick of cinnamon
* 1 Tsp coriander powder
* 3 Tbsp butter
* 2 Tbsp oil
* 1/2 Tsp Kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
* a few Cashew nuts
* salt to taste
* A Pinch/drop of red color or kashmiri chili for color.
* 5 Tbsp fresh cream
* Fresh coriander leaves to garnish

Method

Marinate the chicken pieces in yogurt, 1/2 Tbsp each of ginger and garlic paste. Add a teaspoon of tandoori masala, half a teaspoon of turmeric powder, a tablespoon of oil, red color and a tablespoon of lime juice. Keep aside for at least 2 hours.

Then roast it in the oven till chicken pieces are nearly done. Brush with oil and place under the grill for 3-4 minutes, so that the pieces get charred.

In case you don't want oven roast the chicken, you can also place the pieces on a tawa or a cast iron griddle and cook on a high flame, till done.

For the gravy, melt the butter and leftover oil in a pan. Add the cloves, cardamom and cinnamon in that and let them crackle. Then pour the tomato gravy, coriander powder, chili powder and cook on a high flame till it reduces to almost dry.

At this stage you will be able to see little fat globules oozing from the side of the gravy.

Add the cooked chicken and mix. Now add a little hot water, just enough to make a thick gravy. Add the salt, 1 tsp of tandoori masala and garam masala. Also crush the kasoori methi leaves and sprinkle. Mix and cook for a minute or two more, so that the flavors get mixed nicely. Garnish with cream, cashew nuts and coriander leaves. Serve hot with naan or tandoori roti.

Not only will the kids enjoy eating the KFC popcorn chicken, you and your friends will, too.

In this article, I'm going to show you my favorite "copy" of KFC's popcorn chicken. It has taken lots of time and effort to "reverse engineer" this one - getting the spices and coating to taste like the real thing isn't very easy!

\"chicken Recipe\"

However, with a little trial and error - it won't take you long to find the flavors you're looking for.

KFC Popcorn Chicken Recipe - Create This Incredible Snack in Your Own Home!

Here are the ingredients:

100 grams of boneless and skinless chicken breast
2 tsp. of all-purpose flour
½ tsp. of powdered sugar
½ tsp. of freshly ground pepper
¼ tsp. of salt
1/8 tsp. of onion powder
2 egg whites
2 tbsp. of milk (fat-free)
¾ cup of Panko bread crumbs
Olive oil spray for greasing

What you must do is preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Set a tray with a non-stick baking sheet and coat it with the olive oil. Set that aside first. Then you must place the chicken on a cutting board and cover the top with a sheet of waxed paper. Pound the chicken until it achieves a uniform thickness of about a quarter of an inch. After that, uncover the piece of chicken and cut it up into 25 even-sized pieces that should become your popcorn chicken.

Now you must do the flour mixture. Take the flour, sugar, pepper, salt, and onion powder, and mix them thoroughly in a bowl. Then take the chicken pieces and coat them with the flour mixture. Set them aside for a while, and in another small bowl, mix the egg whites and the milk. Beat them with a fork until the mixture becomes smooth.

Put a large quantity of bread crumbs on a sheet of waxed paper and set it right next to the egg-milk mixture. Now take the chicken pieces dipped in the flour mixture and dip them into the egg-milk mixture and then dip them into the bread crumbs. Do this one by one for the chicken pieces. Place each finished chicken piece onto the non-stick baking sheet which you prepared earlier and make sure that there are equal spaces between the chicken pieces.

Spray the chicken pieces with olive oil and season them lightly with salt and pepper before placing the tray in the oven. Bake the chicken pieces for 5 minutes and them flip the chicken pieces, and bake again for another 5 to 7 minutes in the oven.

If you would really like to make the chicken more like how KFC popcorn chicken recipes are really made, you can try to pressure fry the chicken. But nonetheless, these popcorn chicken pieces are supposed to be delicious and enjoyable regardless of whether you use this technique.

To summarize, this article has shown you one of my favorite popcorn chicken recipes. In particular, I've shown you all of the ingredients you'll need, and exactly what you'll need to do to prepare them. Now you should be ready to get cooking!

Easy Chicken Recipe - Stewed Chicken

Being able to create great stewed dishes is a skill that every cook should master, and it is possibly one of the easiest.  Stewed Chicken is a comfort food we all can relate to.  Your favorite might be chicken and dumplings, or perhaps a hearty chicken and rice stew.  There are as many variations as there are families to prepare them.  But there are some basics that all these dishes have in common.

Stewing meat has been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Stewing recipes can be found in the Roman cookbooks believed to date to the 4th century, and records go back to archaeological finds 8000 years old.  It is really no wonder that even our earliest ancestors used this method for cooking meats.  If you have ever eaten any wild game you will probably recall that it was somewhat tough.  Stewing is one of the easiest ways to bring out the flavors of the various ingredients and tenderize the meat.  It is also very frugal as it allows every bite of meat to be consumed with nothing left behind but the bone.

\"chicken Recipe\"

To make a heart warming Stewed Chicken you will need;

Easy Chicken Recipe - Stewed Chicken

A crock pot - I prefer the type with a removable crock that can be put in the refrigerator overnight.  This way I can prep the meal the night before and store it safely until morning.  Then all I have to do is put the crock into the electric liner, set it and try to forget it while I am working all day.  Hard to do because I know what awaits me when I get home.

Chicken - You have many options with chicken.  You can purchase pieces already cut.  A stew pot full of chicken legs is a treat for young children.  You can use a whole chicken, cut up your own or buy cutup chicken.  You can even use a roasting chicken, a stew chicken, or a frying chicken.  They will all give you a good stew. You can remove the skin or leave it on.  The preference is yours.

Vegetables - You will need at least celery, carrots, onion, potatoes if you like, and I would suggest parsnip if you can get it.  Parsnip adds a subtle undertone of flavor and I will tell you that once I began adding this to my chicken soups and stews my family's colds seemed to clear faster.   I can't prove it but my mother swore by my chicken soups and stews and would call demanding I make it for her anytime she felt a cold coming on. 

Seasonings - Salt, pepper, and  poultry seasoning are the essentials.

Note:  You may choose to use potatoes, pasta, or rice in your stew.  We like potatoes and they are a good addition, but you may decide to use pasta or rice instead.  If you do, you will want to add it during the last hour or so before serving.  Cooking pasta or rice all day may result in these ingredients disintegrating and thickening your broth too much making a mushy mess.

Chicken Stock or Broth - You can use water, but if you start with a good chicken stock or broth the sauce and the chicken will be richer and have a fuller bodied taste.

Now you are ready.   It is a simple process to combine the ingredients in the pot and set them to cook.  But if you have a little time the night before you can add a little extra to the process. Here's how.

Saute about a cup of each, chopped celery, chopped carrots,and chopped onion, in butter, olive, or vegetable oil until the onion is slightly translucent.  Pour the mixture into the bottom of t the crock.

If you choose to use skinless chicken, now is a good time to remove that skin, but use it to your advantage.  You can cut the skin into pieces and fry it.  No coatings, just the skin in a 1/2 teaspoon or oil. Just enough to coat the bottom of the pan.  If you have some of those spray oils that is great for this.  Frying will help to render out much of the fat that you don't want,but you will be left with a crunchy intense flavor that you can add to your stew.  

I also like to brown my chicken pieces before adding them to the pot, but it is not a requirement.  If you choose to brown the parts,then just brown them. A minute or two on each side is all you need.  The meat will cook in the pot.

Add the chicken to the pot and cover with the chicken broth or water. Now set the crock, covered, in the refrigerator overnight.

If you are using potatoes and parsnips, cut them into chunks and add them with the chicken.

In the morning, take the crock out of the fridge and insert it into the electric pot.  Give the mixture inside a good stir and set the crock on High if you want to eat in about 6 hours.   Medium for after work deliciousness.  I do not advise trying to cook this on anything lower than a medium heat or for less than about 6 hours.  It is important that the chicken is fully cooked to eliminate danger of illness from salmonella.

The starch in the potatoes and the process of long slow cooking will produce a thick gravy like sauce. You can thicken this with a little cornstarch added 30 minutes before done. Mix 2 heaping teaspoons of corn starch with 1/4 cup of cool water or cooled broth taken from the pot.  Stir into the pot and allow the liquid to return to a bowl.  You could also remove the solid ingredients, the chicken, potatoes,and vegetables, to a platter.  Then pour the liquid into a small pot and add the corn starch, stirring until thickened.  About 2 minutes on a medium heat.  Pour over the platter full of goodness.

If you do not have a crock pot, you can do this on the stove top or in a dutch oven. I would not be comfortable, however, using this option unless I was home all day.  If you are home and decide to use the oven, simply follow the recipe and place in an oven proof pot.  Cook at 325 degrees for about 5 hours or until chicken is falling off the bone.  Same on the stove top.  Use a medium heat, simmer softly (tiny rolling bubbles breaking the surface) for about 6 hours.  Chicken should be falling off the bone when done.

Add a nice bread and a tossed salad and you have a meal in minutes.  You can trust me when AI tell you how much your family will enjoy this dish on a cold winter evening.  Stewed chicken is a dish we remember from childhood.  It is family dinner, Sunday dinner at grandma's house, and mother's love all rolled into a pot of steaming comfort.  And you did it all with very little effort.   Your family will think you slaved over a hot stove all day.   Shhh.  Don't tell you did it in a crock pot.

Another tasty and easy to make recipe with only seven ingredients is the chicken breasts piquant. Paprika, onion, lemon and pepper are among the ingredients. Like most Paleo recipes, this chicken recipe has two ingredients that are used in almost every Paleo recipes, they are garlic and onion. If you take a look at cookbooks or online recipes you will notice that several versions of the chicken breasts piquant can be found. Each person introduces a personal touch by adding a little spoon of honey or green peppers or even another ingredient and the final recipe will be a still tasty recipe.

As you might have noticed, one of the preferred ingredients of the Paleo diet is coconut milk.

Whether using yellow, red or green curry paste, the recipe will be delicious either way. Some add-ons can be included like a bundle of asparagus turning the recipe into a more attractive and delicious one.

Definitely, the number of tasty and exquisite Paleo chicken recipes is huge and it is very difficult to select only two or three and say: these are the best ones.

A teaspoon of a new ingredient can turn a normal recipe into an exotic and amazingly tasty meal.

Caribbean Recipes - Spicy Trinidad Curry Chicken Recipe

Our Caribbean Recipe is one of several. Every Island has their version of curry. This curry chicken recipe comes from Trinidad and is truly Caribbean. The East Indians came to this part of the world after slavery was abolished. Their cuisine went through a metamorphosis and the curry that we cook today bears no resemblance to the ones from India and Pakistan.

Caribbean Recipes - CURRY CHICKEN

\"chicken Recipe\"

2 lb. Chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces 4 potatoes peeled and diced 1 large onion chopped 1 1/2 ozs. Curry powder 6 cloves garlic minced 1/2 tsp. Hot pepper sauce 1 1/2 tsp. Salt or to taste 2 cups water 1/4 cup vegetable oil.

Caribbean Recipes - Spicy Trinidad Curry Chicken Recipe

Secret Ingredient... 3 tbsp. Tamarind paste, 1 large green mango diced or 3 tbsp. lemon juice

The secret to making a really special curry is to stir-fry the dry powder for a few seconds before adding the meat. This process releases the curry flavour which is then absorbed in full by the meat.

* Heat the oil in a saucepan and then add the onion and garlic.

* Stir-fry for two minutes or until the onions go limp.

* Add the salt and curry powder and continue stir frying for about ten seconds more.

* Add the meat and stir to coat with the curry mixture.

* Cover the saucepan and let it cook for about five minutes, stirring at least twice during this time.

* Add the water, pepper sauce, tamarind paste and potatoes and continue to cook on medium heat until the potatoes are soft and the meat is fully cooked. This should take approximately 25 minutes.

Cooking tip: When using lemon juice, do not add until the final ten minutes of cooking. The reason of this, is because the lemon juice prevents the potatoes from becoming soft.

Serve with roti or over hot boiled rice.

This Caribbean Recipe is one of my favourites and I am sure that you will enjoy it as well.

Real Southern Fried Chicken Recipe

Real Southern Fried Chicken is a dish often imitated, but seldom duplicated except in the kitchen of a good Southern cook. You will see many restaurants advertise Southern Fried Chicken but if you have ever had the real deal, you will be disappointed in what they offer.

Here is the secret. Simplicity and cooking technique. Real Southern Fried Chicken is very
simple with few ingredients. It's when you start adding enhancements that you begin to turn it
into something that does not even resemble Southern Fried Chicken. So, keep it simple.

\"chicken Recipe\"

Ingredients

Real Southern Fried Chicken Recipe

Tip: Even though you have a golden brown crust on the outside, the inside may not be fully cooked,
especially if you are using frozen chicken which you defrosted. When you have a golden crust, cut
deep into one of the thickest pieces with a sharp knife and observe for any pink coloring.
If pink (or red) continue cooking (reduce heat slightly). There should be no pink!

Refrigerate left overs for up to 2 days. Although it will lose it's crunchiness, cold fried
chicken is very tasty the next day. I would not re-heat it. I like it served cold the next day.

Fried chicken goes with nearly any vegetable but I like to serve with turnip greens, black eyed peas and cornbread. You can find authentic Southern recipes for all these dishes at olsouthrecipes.com (see below). In the summer, when fresh vegetables are available, I like to also include baby green onions and radishes served on the side. And do not forget a tall glass of iced tea to wash it down.

Give the Southern fried chicken recipe a try and enjoy.

Copycat KFC Chicken Recipe

As a lot of families know it's hard to please everyone all the time. I have a pretty big family and I know this well. Finding movies, shopping, who sets where, and especially what sounds good for dinner. Sometimes where and what to eat, can cause huge debate.

Have you ever ordered light when eating out because your money is tight, just to get your bill for more then you think and then the tip? This use to happened to me. Now we don't go out to eat very much at all and find it's a lot of fun for the family to recreate our favorite foods, whether it be a KFC Chicken recipe or our favorite Applebee's meal.

\"chicken Recipe\"

When I first heard about this program from a friend, I decided to go online and get my own copy. When I went online I found quite a few programs offering some of the same dishes and some different ones. This prompted me to do a product guide review of some programs offered today. I selected some of the top choices available for my review, and gave my preference but made these items available for you to review as well.

Copycat KFC Chicken Recipe

One thing my family thinks is kind of funny is when my son or I build something or work on something we never look at directions, because we want to figure it out for ourselves or it takes too long. When my son or I cook we measure everything out to the exact directions, because as my son said we got to put it in our mouth. My kids still laugh because I cooked a frozen pizza with the cardboard still under it. I know my kids and wife don't see me as a great cook but when I follow some of these recipes my kids ask for dads pizza sauce or dads KFC Chicken recipe. You should understand that my son and I live in the house with my wife and my 4 daughters. They all can cook better then me, that's probably including the 7 year old too.

You may not see yourself as a great cook. At this time you may not see yourself making food for friends or family. However these recipes are kind of addictive and you will find your self showing off, even calling it your recipe. You are probably already a better cook then me and if not you probably eat out quite a bit.

Copycat KFC Chicken Recipe

This collection of recipes is a great addition to the variety of my family's tastes as well as great family time spent in preparing them. Please see my review of some of these top programs with the KFC Chicken recipe and many others.

Real Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe

Jerk is one of the most popular styles of Jamaican cooking. It is used for cooking meat, traditionally pork or goat, but nowadays chicken and fish as well. All jerk dishes are spicy, even fiery, but they can be very tasty and are appreciated by many spice lovers.

The main secret behind the flavor of jerk is in the preparation of the meat. This is done by marinading the meat in a mixture of spices known as "Jamaican jerk spice". Ideally, you should marinade the meat over night in the 'fridge and then cook the following day. Rather than just letting the marinade soak into the meat, I would suggest making some light cuts in the surface of the meat, and rubbing the marinade into these as well as the meat generally.

\"chicken Recipe\"

As already mentioned, Jamaican jerk spice is a actually a mixture of several spices. It gets most of its flavor from two particular ingredients, namely Jamaican allspice (also known as "pimento" or "pimenta") and Scotch bell peppers. Jerk spice also usually contains several other spices such as garlic, cloves, cinnamon and thyme, and is usually mixed with chopped onions and/or scallions before being applied to the meat.

Real Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe

The best way to cook jerk chicken is over a charcoal barbecue grill. Ideally, you should place some pimento wood or berries on the grill - but if this is not possible you can put some hickory or apple on the coals instead. Of course, barbecuing meat is not always possible, for example during the Winter or if you live in a city - in that case, you can instead roast the meat in a normal kitchen oven, and still get good results.

Simple Chicken Recipe - Chicken Breast Stir Fry With Peppers and Onions - An Easy Food Recipe

Want to make an easy chicken recipe. Stir fry dishes are ideal when you are looking for a simple chicken recipe. Most of your time will be spent in the preparation step. Chopping the ingredients takes time, but if you know how to use kitchen tools, such as the chef's knife, it is not that difficult/ If you do your cooking at a higher temperature, and the ingredients are cut into very small pieces, the actual cooking time becomes very short. I sometimes use a WOK, but the vessel I use most is a black iron chicken fryer. Most of the stir fry dishes I make are served over rice. I use a microwave oven for the rice and I always start the rice first so that it is cooking all the time I am preparing the ingredients and cooking them. Stir fries are not only quicker, but are also easy to make. About the only way you can mess them up is to over cook to the point where the ingredients burn. To prevent burning you must keep stirring and when it's done, remove the WOK or skillet from the heat source.

This simple chicken recipe can be made with either raw chicken or you could use leftover cooked chicken. If you use leftover chicken it should be added last, as it will not require as much cooking time as the vegetables. Either way thisw dish is easy to make. If you have a Chinese WOK, this could be used here but I still prefer to use a cast iron chicken fryer. The best way to serve this chicken recipe is over cooked long grain brown rice.

Your guests will be stunned at how delicious your chicken Alfredo is after making this. I don't care if you can't hard boil eggs properly; this recipe is the simplest and most delicious recipe that you have ever had. Everyone will be boasting at how you are such an awesome cook.

This recipe serves eight so you can just adjust accordingly if need be. However it makes for a tasty lunch with the leftovers so I always make the whole batch.

\"recipe Chicken\"

At the store you will need to get three boneless and skinless chicken breasts. A jar of Alfredo sauce which is with the spaghetti sauces, you can just choose any of them. A box of penne pasta, I like to use this pasta because it holds the sauce very nicely. I use Dream Fields pasta personally because it is low glycemic but you can use which you want.

Quickest, Most Delicious Chicken Alfredo Recipe in Less Than 30 Minutes!

You will also need a jar of Parmesan, a loaf of French bread from your bakery, garlic powder, butter, and a bag of shredded cheese, I use the Italian mix but you can just use cheddar if you want.

Approximately 30 minutes before dinner time you will cut up the chicken breasts into bit size pieces and cook them in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook until cooked through. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Meanwhile put a large pan of water on to boil and then cut the French bread down the middle to make 2 large pieces, you will want to butter both pieces on the cut side and then sprinkle with garlic powder and generously cover with the shredded cheese. Now turn the boiler on in your oven. After the oven is ready; then put the bread in on a cookie sheet and watch closely until the cheese is nicely melted and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

Once the water is boiling than add a pinch of salt and put in the entire box of penne pasta and let the water get to a boil again set your timer for 10 minutes, you want the pasta to be al dente. When the chicken is fully cooked than simply pour the entire jar of Alfredo sauce over the chicken and turn the burner to low. After the pasta is cooked, then strain and add to the chicken and Alfredo sauce and mix easily and let cook for 10 minutes on low. You will then plate and sprinkle with some Parmesan and a couple pieces of the garlic cheese bread and viola.

You can also make a nice Caesar salad to go along with it nicely if you like, it compliments it wonderfully.
