Chicken Evening Meal

By Rolanda Linville


Chicken is among my preferred foods. As a health conscious eater, I like to eat low fat, white meat. It may be just a little dry, so it needs recipes that bring out the flavor. I usually have some sort of chicken dinner twice per week. I also have chicken salads for my lunch in warm weather and I've been identified to make homemade chicken broth within the depth of winter. I also prefer 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 in the oven would be to place slices of oranges and bacon around the bird. This assists to preserve the moisture, stopping it from drying out an excessive amount of. I don't like retailer purchased stuffing, so I experiment with my personal. It's always slightly distinct every time however the usual components contain sausage meat, sage, and basil, all binded with each other with 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 are slimming, you'll be able to take the skin off.

I also make chicken casserole with carrots, swede, mushrooms and button onions in red wine gravy. It's scrumptious, served with mashed potatoes. Chicken and mushroom pie is yet another favorite, made with buttery, flaky pastry. Chicken is excellent for stir fries. It cooks speedily and absorbs the other flavors in the pan. It's a good chicken dinner if you are within a hurry and you may use left more than vegetables. I use baby corncobs, thin strips of carrot and mange tout. Dowse some soy sauce on it and serve with rice.

My chicken salads are extremely tasty. I make them with cherry tomatoes, crunchy lettuce, cucumber, peppers and spring onions. At times, I'll add fruit including peaches or pineapple. It goes effectively with 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 with a light, fruity wine.

Ultimately, homemade chicken soup can be a specific treat on a cold, winter's day. Boil some stock from the carcass and add the ingredients. You'll be able to genuinely add what you need but I prefer to use barley and root vegetables. Try and use all the soup in one day, as it really is not a good notion to keep re-heating it.
