| These are my made up recipes although im sure a lot of people make similar.... Spicy chicken and rice:
Chicken breasts/drumsticks or whatever you like
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
Cayenne Pepper
Turmeric
Season the chicken as much as you like, roast in the oven. Serve it with rice, it's beautiful. Lemon Chicken with roasted vegetables: Chicken breasts
Onion
Garlic (2 gloves is nice)
Fresh thyme
Salt
Pepper
1 lemon (skin removed and lemon sliced)
Lemon rind (about half the lemon)
Red peppers
Asparagus
Cherry tomatoes
Baby new potatoes
Best to prepare this in the morning. Put chicken in your dish and add the sliced onions, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, lemon slices and lemon rind.. marinade until dinner time.
Boil your new potatoes for 10-15 minutes, then put it them in the oven to roast.
I then like to quick fry the chicken until crispy and golden on each side, then put them in the oven with the potatoes, meanwhile.. I fry the onions and peppers. Put them in the dish with the chicken and potatoes and add the asparagus and cherry tomatoes.. season with salt and pepper and add more lemon and/or thyme if you want to.
It's bloody delicious. Spicy tomato chicken: This is basically like a chicken tonight kind of sauce. Tin of tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, garlic salt, pepper, coriander (dried is fine - lots) and some basil. Squeeze in some lemon juice (I use 1/2 to a whole lemon). Cook your chicken as usual, then stir in the sauce. Serve with your rice.
I also like making a peppercorn sauce.. tell me if you're interested (we usually have it with beef, but im sure it's nice with chicken too) |
