    --Southern Living, OCTOBER 2001



    I have a few.





    1. Chicken cordon bleu. Get boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Season lightly with kosher salt and pepper. Spread and flatten. Fill with deli ham, a slice of swiss cheese, and tablespoon of butter. Roll together and sear in a skillet with oil until brown on the outside, then bake at 350 for about 1/2 hour or until the cheese is all melted and the chicken is cooked through.





    Serve with hot buttered/seasoned noodles and broccoli or a salad.





    2. Fried chicken. Get a cut up fryer and pat dry. Make a dip of buttermilk and egg and a coating of Bisquick, an envelope of dry Italian dressing mix, and paprika, salt and pepper. Dip and coat each piece liberally and fry in a heavy skillet with oil until golden brown. Put the pieces on a baking sheet and bake at 400 for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices in the breasts run clear.





    3. Chicken salad. Cut a rotisserie chicken into little strips or roast your own and cut into pieces. Mix in a cup and a half of mayo, diced green onions, cut up pickled artichoke hearts, and black olives. Cook a pack of chicken flavored rice according to directions: Uncle Ben's, Lipton/Knorrs or Rice A Roni are all fine. Mix in the rice with the chicken mixture until it's all coated. Add another tablespoon of mayonnaise if needed. Splash the top with lemon juice and chill until rice is cold. Serve with a loaf of crusty bread. If you present it right this is a very fancy dish that is also very easy.

    Can i substitue chicken mince for pork mince in a sausage roll recipe?

    Will this make them too dry? I am trying to make them a little less fattening?Can i substitue chicken mince for pork mince in a sausage roll recipe?
    pork has a lot more flavor, i tried subsituting chicken for pork in a recipe once..... i ate around the chicken because it was so bland and added NO flavor to my veggies like the pork did


    i'd recomend you not do this... but you never know unlessyou try





    use lots of spices to enhance flavorCan i substitue chicken mince for pork mince in a sausage roll recipe?
    You can substitute chicken. If you are worried about it being too dry - add a little liquid like wine or broth, or if that won't work - reduce the temp and time (just a couple degrees or minutes) that you are cooking it.
    there is a reason for using pork, and its all about flavor.





    But if there are religious grounds, the I guess you have to.





    chicken will have to be augmented with additional fat. Take the opportunity to add more spices.





    good luck
    it will make them abit drier also some flavors will be different,


    you can change this by adding some EVOO ( yeah I said it ) and adding some sage and thyme maybe a pinch of cayenne
    can't see why not!!
    Sounds good, or ground turkey would be another good choice.

    I just read a recipe and it said to leave the chicken inside a glad bag for 2 to 4 hours, alternative?

    I am making garlic brown sugared chicken and I mixed the ingredientes. I have to put all the ingredientes smothered on the chicken and it says I need to leave it in the refrigerator. Can I just poke a fork inside the chicken so it can get smothered faster?????I just read a recipe and it said to leave the chicken inside a glad bag for 2 to 4 hours, alternative?

    orange juice is the tenderizer.. ;-D





    for ribs? vinegar!.. marinate ribs over nite.I just read a recipe and it said to leave the chicken inside a glad bag for 2 to 4 hours, alternative?
    Put it in a zip lock, or put it in several plastic grocery bags, tie the bag shut and place it in a bowl (so it don't leak or make a mess- keeps it close to the meat), turn the bag over every once-in-awhile, or just put it in a bowl, covered with foil or something and toss it after awhile. You don't have to poke it with a fork or anything. That process would be more for Fajita.
    Not really. If you poke it the liquids will go into the holes.





    Just cook it as is, but make sure you baste it often (every 10 minutes).
    You are speaking of marinating the chicken. You can deep marinate it by using an injector to inject the marinade deep inside the muscles of the chicken. With this you don't have to wait 2-4 hours but can cook it immediately.

    Chicken Curry


    Ingredients


    For the poached chicken:


    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)


    2 cloves garlic, chopped


    1 onion, chopped


    3 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced


    4 ribs celery from the heart, chopped


    3 cups chicken stock


    3 cups water


    1 pack (3 breasts, 6 to 8 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts


    1 pack (about 4) boneless, skinless chicken thighs


    1 bay leaf


    For Elsa鈥檚 Curry Sauce:


    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)


    2 tablespoons butter


    1 onion, chopped


    2 cloves garlic, minced


    Salt


    2 Honey Crisp, McIntosh or Gala apples, quartered, core cut away and chopped with skin left on


    2 tablespoons flour


    1 tablespoon curry powder


    1 tablespoon peanut butter


    2 tablespoons mincemeat


    2 tablespoons Major Grey's mango chutney


    2 1/2 cups chicken stock


    2 teaspoons lemon juice


    1 cup Basmati rice, cooked to package directions


    Toppings:


    Chopped scallions


    Spanish peanuts


    Unsweetened coconut


    Major Grey's Chutney


    Yields: 4 servings


    Preparation


    Heat a medium-size soup pot over medium to medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon EVOO, about 1 turn of the pan. Add the garlic, onion, carrots and celery and saut茅 until they start to soften up, 5-6 minutes.


    Add the chicken stock and water, bring up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the chicken and a bay leaf to the pot. Poach the chicken with a bay leaf until cooked through, 15 minutes. (The chicken can remain on stove over low heat through the curry preparation).


    Get the rice started for tonight's dinner, according to package directions; it will take longer to cook than it takes to prepare the curry.





    For the curry, heat a large skillet with a tablespoon of EVOO, about 1 turn of the pan, and the butter over medium heat. Cooks the onion until they start to get really tender, then add the garlic and continue to cook until the onions caramelize, about 12-15 minutes total. Season with a little salt and add the apples, cook 3-4 minutes, then sprinkle in the flour and curry powder. Cook for a minute then melt in the peanut butter, mincemeat and chutney. Stir in the chicken stock and simmer about 5 minutes to combine flavors.


    While the curry is simmering, chop up 2 chicken breasts and 2 chicken thighs. Add a little lemon juice to the sauce, turn off the heat and fold in the chicken. Fill shallow bowls with the chicken curry and top them off with a small scoop of rice. Serve the assorted toppings alongside.





    (To prepare for the next night's meal, let the poaching liquid cool and chop up the remaining chicken breast and thighs. Add the meat back to the pot of cooled broth and veggies and place into the refrigerator for tomorrow night's Chicken Soup With Broken Spaghetti. * Go to Rachael Ray's website for the recipe for soup recipe.)

    Sure. I can give you a chicken one. I've never cooked with prawns before because I hate seafood. I'll give you two recipes of my own: one for a korma, another for something hotter.





    Korma:


    5 tbsp vegetable oil


    3 shards, 2 black cardamoms, 4 green cardamoms, 6 cloves


    2 onions, finely chopped


    2cm ginger, 4 cloves garlic, 2 whole green chillis (small fingery ones, pierced, not chopped)


    1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garam masala, 陆 tsp cumin, 陆 tsp coriander, a bit less than 陆 tsp paprika, little more than 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp dried methi leaves


    3 tomatoes, finely chopped (or you could try processing them)


    1/2-1 tbsp ground almonds


    2 tbsp coconut milk (get it in tins for about 35p)


    75-100ml double cream


    750g (give or take a bit) chicken breasts cubed


    陆 cup water





    Heat oil in a large non-stick karahi, wok or frying pan. Cook whole spices for about 30 seconds until smelling aromatic, then throw in your onions and cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and chillis, stir well and continue to cook for another minute. Add the salt, ground spices and methi (fenugreek) leaves (I put them all together in a cup or something first so that they can be added at the same time) and stir them in well, not letting them stick to the pan. Cook for a few seconds, stirring, then add the tomatoes, stir them in, then take the pan off the heat and let it cool for five minutes. Now add the ground almonds, coconut milk and cream, stir in well and bring it slowly back to bubbling. Put in your chicken, cover it well with the sauce, add the water, stir, cover and cook for 45 minutes to an hour. Check how it is after 45 minutes and if it's too runny, remove the lid. Don't forget to stir occasionally (though it seems to take care of itself pretty well).





    Something hotter:


    Use the same ingredients and method but make these changes:


    Add about 8-10 curry leaves when cooking the whole spices.


    Use just one green chilli, but chop it finely. Still add it with the garlic and ginger.


    Use chilli powder/cayenne pepper instead of paprika.


    Just half a teaspoon of turmeric this time.


    Cut out the ground almonds and the coconut milk.


    Rather than cream, use one or two tablespoons of Greek style yoghurt.








    You could try varying spices and stuff however you like, now you know the basic method of cooking an Indian curry :-)





    Always buy your spices from an Asian grocer. You'll get more for your money. Supermarkets rip you off for those piddling little jars of spices. You'll find lots of Asian grocers in cities. If you live in a town which has a particularly Asian area, you might find a grocer there who can help you out.Does anyone have a recipe for an authentic Indian curry for chicken or prawns that I cam make from scratch?
    i agree,ready made sauces are never quite as nice as making it yourself,im sure you can find many recipies on the net,but either way,you're gona need a fair few whole spices(or ready ground,up to you),the basics for many curries are:cumin and corriander seeds,ghee(clarified butter) garlic,ginger,garam masala powder,tumeric,onions.theres many more for different curries,but add chicken,peppers,redwine vinegar,and you've got a tasty jalfrezi with most of the above!!





    good luck
