Chicken

I was watching Market Kitchen the other day and came across this recipe. It looked very easy to do and looked delicious. I also happened to have all the ingredients at the time so decided to give it a try for dinner. It turned out lovely and as expected was very easy to do. You can search for the original recipe on Market Kitchen site but this is quite similar to the original.

Enjoy:-)

Ingredients:

• 2 Chicken breasts, Skin-less, cut into strips
• 50 ml White wine (I used medium white)
• 40-60 ml Double Cream
• 1 tbsp chopped Tarragon
• 1 tsp English Mustard
• 2 tbsp light Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper

After a month of strict detox diet after Christmas, I was really in the mood for some fried food and when I came across this chicken recipe over at SmittenKitchen, I knew I had to make it. The side dish here is my version of Bubble and Squeak. there is something very appealing about the mixture of garlic, shredded cabbage and creamy mash potato especially if you have deprived from carbohydrate for some 28 days:-)

I wouldn’t normally fry chicken like this but this is one of those meals you can afford to eat once in a while and it was absolutely divine. I’ve chenged the recipe slightly to accommodate what I had in the cupboard but it was still very very good.

Chicken Milanese

Ingredients:

• 2 skinless Chicken breasts, lightly flattened
• 1 egg
• 4 tbsp of flour
• 3 tbsp of Parmesan
• 4 tbsp of Breadcrumbs
• 4 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• Salt and Pepper

First thing that comes to my mind when thinking about chicken breast is a chicken curry especially ones with lots of coconut milk. This time however I've decided to make something different.

These chicken breasts marinated in plenty of lemon juice and garlic are full of flavours. Chicken kebabs from my childhood had the same taste as they would have been marinated in lime juice and drizzled with melted butter when on the grill. you don't have to marinade them for long, Half an hour in the fridge with plenty of lemon juice, garlic and salt does the trick for this simple yet tasty dish. Accompanied with some fresh asparagus which I cooked for a couple of minutes with butter and salt and some creamy mash potatoes, it made for the perfect mid week supper.

Enjoy:-)

Ingredients:

• 2 Chicken Breasts, skinless
• 1 Lemon, Juice only
• 4 cloves of Garlic, peeled and crushed
• 40 g/ 1.4 oz. Butter
• 2 tbsp grated Cheddar

• Salt and Pepper

A Tasty and Filling Chicken Salad with Potatoes, Eggs and Gherkins

Another Childhood favourite! This is what mayonnaise was invented for:-)

No park picnics or beach trips in my childhood was complete without Salad Olivier. I don't know where the recipe originates from (I am guessing Russia because of the name).  Chicken is optional in this recipe, the vegetarian version is just as tasty as the original. Serve cold on its own although I love it as a filling in a fresh French Boquette with extra ghergins. yummy:-)

Ingredients:

• 4 Chicken Tights, Skinless
• 1 medium Onion, peeled
• 3 large Potatoes, peeled and boiled
• 4 large eggs, boiled
• 100 g Gherkins
• 100 g can green Peas, drained
• 100 g Mayonnaise
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric
