chicken breats for tea AGAIN!!

[crisgal]

I'm sick of them! Do you do anything interesting with yours?

[naz_nomad]

I make this a lot ... usually served with couscous


2 (7 ounce/ 200 gram) skinless chicken breasts, scored
1 egg, beaten with 2 tablespoons water
1 handful dried porcini
9 ounces (255 grams) mixed mushrooms (field, oyster, and shiitake), torn up
1 large wineglass white wine
2 medium potatoes, peeled, sliced and cooked
3 large knobs (tablespoons) butter
1 handful fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
Olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Mix the mushrooms, wine, potatoes, butter, thyme, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; add the chicken.

Using wide aluminium foil, make a bag by folding 1 large (about 3 feet) piece in half. Brush all four edges with egg wash and fold the foil in half again, creating a double thick bag with a closed end. Fold the side edges over twice, creating two sealed edges; and leaving one side open. Place mixture into the aluminium foil bag, including all the liquid, making sure you don't pierce the foil. Close up the final edge, making sure the bag is tightly sealed and secure on all sides, and carefully slide it on to a roasting tray.

Place the tray on a high heat on the burners for 1 minute to get the heat going, then bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 25 minutes

Remove from the oven, place the bag on a big plate, take it to the table and break open the foil.



It's flippin' luvverly ...

try these:
Soy-marinated Chicken
Serves 2
2 chicken breasts 1 medium orange
20 ml soy sauce dark

Slash each chicken breast diagonally and place them in a single layer in shallow oven proof dish. Halve the orange, squeeze the juice from one half and mix it with the soy sauce. Pour this over the chicken. Cut the remaining orange into wedges and place these on the chicken. Cover and leave to marinate for several hours.
Turn the chicken over and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over again and bake for a further 15 minutes, or until cooked through.

i know a lot of women that wear them in there bra's. ooooooohhhhhhhhhhh you mean proper cicken fillets. My hubby made a fantastic recipe with them the other day making sauce from dijon mustard and tarragon. fantastic. Might be on Nigel Slaters website.

[squirtle]

slice chicken breast, brown it in a frying pan, also brown onions and peppers, (mushrooms peas courgettes etc etc etc.) add it all to a casserole dish with some cooked drained pasta shapes of any kind, add a tin of condensed chicken soup (or mushroom or tomato or any flavour you like) then just bake it all in the oven for 30 mins or until bubbling, add dried herbs if you like or grate cheese on top. On the back of the tin of condensed chicken and white wine (campbell) It suggests adding dried tarragon and lemon juice/zest. Pretty tasty and you can make as much as you want, be it for 1 person or a family of four.

Not sure if any of this sounds appealing to you. Hope you find something you like.

Hi crisgal, you don't say if they're skin on or off. If you can bear eating thighs (I can't) I make something my husband loves, the recipe is an Anthony Worral T one, just marinate them with chopped onions, garlic, lemon juice (I use lime), oil and three tablespoons of marmalade on top, which caramelises into a lovely sticky, tangy sauce. NB I never follow quantities unless I'm baking cakes.

I make this a lot, so if you a little spice.....

Serves 2-3

Premake 3 flat omelettes and set aside
Bring a pan of water to the boil, and cook up rice for 3 peeps.

fry a medium chopped onion, chopped garlic (2 cloves) and a pinch of mixed herbs in some veggie oil for a couple of mins.
Add cubed chicken breasts and fry on a medium/high heat until turning brown.
add cup of peas and one finely chopped chilli (seeds and all)
keep frying off.
when rice cooked, drain and set aside. roll omelettes up into tubes and cut them into strips and add to chicken mixture, then add a bit more oil and then the rice and stir fry for about 2 more mins.
Thai chilli sauce goes great with this.

[crisgal]

how do you cook them, violetblue? it would work with breasts though, wouldn't it?

[Rock'n'Roll]

All kinds of spices you can sprinkle over before grilling.
I like piri piri,It's a little hot for my gaffer,she prefers jamaican jerk.
You can flatten em,then roll some garlic butter and herbs inside. Breadcrumb it and fry. as in kiev,not right healthy though.

Devilled chicken is nice.
The recipe is just a guide, so you can adjust to taste!
3 tablespoons thick rind marmalade
3 tabs tom relish
2 tabs worcester sauce
2 tabs dark soy sauce
2 teaps wholegrain mustard
1 tab tom ketchup
Garlic to taste
Simply mix the above ingredients together, pour over chicken breasts, use 2 to 4 breasts dependant on how much sauce you like, we use this recipe for 2 breasts and it makes plenty of sauce. Cook in a medium oven (350) for approx 45 minutes. You can leave out any ingredients if you do not particlarly like them, but on one occassion I accidently left out the wholegrain mustard and felt the resulting dish was a bit bland.
I always use this recipe with rice as an accompliment.
Cheers Sue
