Chicken Evening Meal

By Mauro Aultman


Chicken is among my preferred foods. As a health conscious eater, I like to eat low fat, white meat. It could be somewhat dry, so it wants recipes that bring out the flavor. I generally have some sort of chicken dinner twice a week. I also have chicken salads for my lunch in warm weather and I've been identified to create homemade chicken broth inside the depth of winter. I also like to have chicken soup when I am ill. I know it's a clich, but it really makes you feel better when you are down in the dumps.

My tip for roasting chicken inside the oven is usually to location slices of oranges and bacon on the bird. This helps to maintain the moisture, stopping it from drying out a lot of. I never like retailer bought stuffing, so I experiment with my own. It is constantly slightly different every time however the usual ingredients incorporate sausage meat, sage, and basil, all binded collectively using a couple of beaten eggs. I then prefer to serve with onion gravy. A fried chicken dinner is always tasty, especially if cooked in some high quality oil. If you're slimming, it is possible to take the skin off.

I also make chicken casserole with carrots, swede, mushrooms and button onions in red wine gravy. It really is delicious, served with mashed potatoes. Chicken and mushroom pie is yet another favored, made with buttery, flaky pastry. Chicken is best for stir fries. It cooks quickly and absorbs the other flavors within the pan. It's a superb chicken dinner if you're within a hurry and you can use left over vegetables. I use infant corncobs, thin strips of carrot and mange tout. Dowse some soy sauce on it and serve with rice.

My chicken salads are very tasty. I make them with cherry tomatoes, crunchy lettuce, cucumber, peppers and spring onions. Sometimes, I will add fruit such as peaches or pineapple. It goes nicely using a freshly baked baguette. I also stuff Greek pitta bread with chicken and strips of onion and cucumber. It makes a filling chicken dinner and is nicely washed down using a light, fruity wine.

Lastly, homemade chicken soup is a specific treat on a cold, winter's day. Boil some stock from the carcass and add the ingredients. You'll be able to truly add what you want but I like to use barley and root vegetables. Try and use all of the soup in one day, as it's not a good concept to help keep re-heating it.
