Chicken is so popular precisely because it is so versatile. Try the recipe below and check out the link to the site it comes from. I hope you enjoy it - I do...regularly!
Chicken and Bacon Parcels with New Potatoes
Per person, for this recipe, you will require:
1 chicken breast fillet
2 large rashers of unsmoked bacon
1 small tomato (sliced)
2tsp coriander, cilantro in US (roughly chopped)
1 clove of garlic (finely chopped)
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
4 or 5 small new potatoes (unpeeled)
Small knob of butter
Pinch of dried dillweed
Place a couple of slices of tomato on the underside of the chicken breast, cover with coriander and garlic and wrap the bacon around it. Place the parcel in the dish and cover with any remaining coriander. Add some pepper and olive oil. Put the lid on the dish and cook in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20/25 minutes. Check that the chicken is cooked all the way through by inserting a metal skewer or fork and ensuring the juices run clear.
NB: no additional salt is required in this dish as the bacon provides all that is necessary.
Boil the new potatoes in salted water for about 25 minutes, drain well then add the knob of butter and the dill and swirl them gently around the pot to ensure thay are fully coated.
I make the following out of "chicken" here are my own versions...
chicken sandwhiches..
best on sour dough bread..
rotisserie chicken bought and shredded
in a food processor combine walnuts, dried cranberries and sweet relish..
then mix all that from the food processor in a large bowl with some mayo..add black pepper if you like..
and add the shredded chicken..and put on nicely toasted sour dough bread..
Ready to eat...
chicken alfredo (half a chicken cooked at home or rotisserie chicken at the store can be used for this)..
cook pasta
then once pasta is cooked mix pasta with half or whole jar of Alfredo sauce..from the store depends on how thick of an Alfredo sauce you like. I use half a jar..one time and then half a jar the next time..
then shred the rotisserie chicken into manageable pieces and combine with the pasta Alfredo.
Ready to eat.
chicken salad (rotisserie chicken or chicken out of the can)...
take the chicken, shred it and put it in a large bowl
then in a food processor combine walnuts, dried cranberries, and a bit of sweet relish, once done..
pour that on top of the shredded chicken in the large bowl.
mix with mayo and add black pepper if you like
and ready to eat..can be eaten on bread or crackers or with tortilla chips..
chicken pot pie
store bought rotisserie chicken and store bought pie crust..
blind bake pie crust for a few minutes 5 min-10 min depends on temp of oven..as all are different..
use store bought mixed frozen vegies
use 1-2 cans of chicken stock, and a can of cream of mushroom soup..(maybe add some corn starch)...to thicken liquids up a bit..
add shreded rotisserie chicken the mixed vegies...
combine all until its rather thick and pour in once baked pie crust..
then bake again..
then ready to eat..
Chicken Piccata is our home's all time favorite and is soooo easy to make. Mmmm, I can taste the lemon and capers now.
