 Topic: Chicken? Inspire me!
Posted: 09 June 2007 at 11:07pm |

I bought some boneless chicken breast yesterday for dinner and haven't cooked it yet, will cook it for dinner tomorrow night but am short on inspiration. I usually just do either a curry or a mushroom and chicken pasta bake but looking for something different to do with it. I have a jar of Chicken Tonight Honey Mustard but not sure how to jazz it up.

Chicken? I love it! This week we have done a couple of different chicken dishes. Try combining something like:
chicken
mushrooms
stir-fry veges (carrots, brocoli, courgettes, capsicums)
season with: cumin (or some other strong taste), chicken stock, salt...
serve with: garlic bread or roasted spuds
chicken
chopped bacon
onions
green or red capsicum
tomato paste
season with: chicken stock, coriander (or some other mild taste), a bit of flour to make a gravy
serve with: cooked pasta or mashed spuds
otherwise I love to cook it up with a can of apricots or pineapple, make it into a casserole with carrots and any other veg you like
season with: mild spice, worcester sauce, chicken stock
serve with: mashed or plain boiled spuds
mmmmm yumm!

What about stuffing it?
Maybe flattening the breast out a wee bit, layering with basil or some fresh herb leaves, rolling it up and wrapping in prosciutto or bacon & baking in some sauce??

We stuff with spinach(we use frozen),mozerella and a wee bit of pasta sauce. Stick it together with toothpick! Brown in a pan, then add the rest of the pasta sauce and simmer til cooked. Serve with pasta or rice!

Mmmmm, stuffed chicken *drools* I don't think I've ever stuffed chicken before myself, I usually buy it pre-stuffed. But I do stuff schnitzel with ham and cheese sometimes - yum! 
I ended up chucking the chicken in a pyrex dish with the jar of Honey Mustard sauce and covering it with foil and chucking it in to bake. Gonna serve it with mashed kumara (with a dash of curry powder), cauli and peas.

I chop up boneless chicken breast, potatoes, and whatever other veges I have around and stir through a jar of honey mustard sauce then let it cook slowly in the crockpot all day. Great one pot wonder.
Stuffed chicken breasts - the easiest way is to cut a slit in each breast then insert slices of flavoured brie/camenbert or grated cheese and chutney or a slice of ham and cheese. Pan fry using a non stick spray.
My favourite summer meal is chicken satay salad. Stir fry chicken, once cooked add half a bottle of satay sauce, then 1/2 bag of crispy noodles. Serve on a bed of salad and eat immediately.

with the chicken stuffed, a great healthy way to cook it is to wrap in gladwrap and poach in chicken stock - wait til cooked and then unwrap and fry gently for the colour. the gladwrap ensures it doesn't collapse, or you lose half the innards.
