DH got out chicken peices for dinner yesterday but we didn't cook them...now he's working tonight an has left the meat in the fridge for me to cook :rolleyes: I don't have any ideas of what to do with it. Don't really want a stirfry or anything like that which is what I normally do with diced chicken.
So give me some ideas!!! Please....
i would put some curry powder salt and pepper and a little gara masala in a bag and shake the chicken in the bag to coat it and YUMMO and dry bake it :) its lovely is u like that type of food.
or put in backing dish with tin of apricot juice and bake. with a bit of onion.
or slowly bake with a jar of pasta sauce in oven till cooked.
if itw as me ill do the top one :)
is it diced chicken or actual pieces eg legs thighs breasts??
Oooohhh, squidpa, that sounds delish, but I don't have any garam marsala....
It's diced chicken breast.
u can skip the gara masala as most curry powders have extra spices in them, u cana dd what ever ya like really. i just liek a bit of heat lol
if its pieces i would make a chicken casserole with it maybe thats cause im feeling cold lol marinate it ya could with honey soy and garlic?
Apricot chicken!! Just adjust your usual cooking time for the smaller sized pieces! :D
Or chicken and vege risotto??
mm that sound good?
depends on what you have in the cupboard!
umm, you can make chicken burritos if you have the ingredients
chicken pasta bake (either with veg in a creamy sauce or with veg in a red sauce - just top with cheese) - we do the red sauce one in the slow cooker - then put it in lasagne dish and top with eitehr lots of cheese or white sauce
enchiladas
sorry - just running through the usual suspects when we defrost chicken!
That's the problem, BG, I don't have all that much at the mo...gotta go shopping sometime soon!
Could do a pasta bake of some sort, I think I have cheese left...I could make a lasagne thing. I have lasagne sheets, but again not sure how much cheese. Not much I don't think.
Don't have the ingredients for apricot chicken.
Don't feel like a caserole, I made a beef caserole last night, so not tonight.
Risotto sounds delish. Not sure if I have any risotto rice though, but I have normal rice.....might make a chicken ricey thingo...lol to be specific!
Thanks ladies, you've given me some ideas!
chooken fried rice??
normal rice, whatever veg you have, the chicken browned and tossed through, egg...
knew there was something else we make!
Mmmmmm, yummo, that's what I would do!!!:
Yep, I think chicken fried rice it will be. DD might even deign to eat it...maybe!
This is quite nice, and really easy
Baked Moroccan chicken and rice
5 out of 5
Cooking Time 35 minutes
Ingredients (serves 4)
* 1/4 cup apricot jam
* 1 1/2 tablespoons Moroccan seasoning
* 1 garlic clove, crushed
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 500g chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
* 2 cups long-grain rice, rinsed
* 1 brown onion, thinly sliced
* 1 large tomato, roughly chopped
* 1/2 cup frozen peas
* 2 1/4 cups salt-reduced chicken stock
* 1 lemon, juiced
* steamed green beans, to serve
Method
1. Preheat oven to 220?C. Combine jam, seasoning, garlic and oil in a bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat. Season with salt.
2. Place rice in a 5cm-deep, 22cm x 26cm (base) baking dish. Top with onion, tomato and peas. Pour over stock and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Top with chicken.
3. Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and rice tender. Serve with steamed beans.
It's off the Taste website, if you do a search for it there there's lots of comments from people about changes they've made to it as well and lots of people adjust the cooking time or the rice can be a bit crunchy.
I just made a chicken casserole with leek, carrot and celery sweated in a pan. Chook added and browned in with it. Add a can of condensed chicken soup and a smidge of water. Boil until chook is cooked and tender. Serve with rice.
Yummmmmmm!!!
Mmmm, you girls are all making me hungry!! I don't have many ingredients, so can't make anything fancy :(. But i think I'll be storing some of these recipes for later!
