I don't really measure, but I'll try to describe our favorite chicken recipe. It's Indonesian style Coconut Curried Chicken. (It's mild, not spicy, but you can use saffron or tumeric if you want to avoid all spice.)

About 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 small onion

1/2 can coconut milk

1 tsp. salt

1-2 tsp mild curry powder

1 small grated carrot

handful of raisins

chopped apple

Brown the chicken and onion in a pan sprayed with non-stick spray. Add the coconut milk, salt and curry powder. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Add carrot, raisins and apples, simmer 5-7 minutes more. Serve over rice.

I love to stuff my chicken breast with sundried tomatoes and fresh basil. Brown it on stove top, transfer to oven until cooked through. Drizzle with a basil and garlic infused olive oil. I do sprinkle mine with parmesan cheese.

some of my favs

oven "fried" chicken:

-1 egg

-1/2 tsp ground thyme

-1/2 tsp rosemary

-1/2 tsp oregano

-1/2 tsp basil

-1/2 tsp salt

-1/2 tsp pepper

-8 chicken thighs, skinless/boneless

-1/2 cup all purpose flour

-preheat oven to 425*F, grease rimmed baking sheet

-in bowl, whisk together egg and spices

-place flour in separate bowl

-one at a time, dip chicken pieces in egg mixture, letting excess drip off. then coat in flour, shake off excess.

-place on greased baking sheet

-bake in center of oven for 20 mins, turning once. when turning, be sure you place chicken on fresh grease

note: i substitued gluten free flour of course, and also i used breasts instead, best if they're about 1" thick.

maple mustard grilled chicken:

-1/2 cup canola oil

-1/2 cup 100% pure maple syrup

-3tbsp balsamic vinegar

-2tbsp dijon mustard

-2 garlic cloves, crushed

-2 tsp coursely ground black pepper

-3 boneless/skinless chicken breasts

-in shallow dish, whick together oil, mmaple syrup, vinegar, mustard, garlic and pepper. add chicken breasts, turning to coat. cover and refridgerate for 1 hour minimum. i usually do about 3 hrs, or overnight--if marinating longer then 1hr though, you need to turn the chicken in the marinade, as the maple syrup and canola oil will separate.

-preheat bbq

-place chicken on greased grill over medium-high heat, (350ish) discarding marinade. cook approx 4-7 mins per side depending on thickness of breasts.

grilled chicken with tomato-raspberry salsa:

-2 cups skinned, coursely chopped tomatos

-1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

-1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

-1/3 cup raspberry flavored vinegrette

-4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts

-1 tbsp olive oil

-1/8 tsp salt

-1/8 tsp ground black pepper

-preheat bbq to med-high (350ish)

-in bowl, stir together tomatos, onion, parsley and vinegrette

-brush chicken breasts with oil. sprinkle with salt/pepper, place on grill, close lid.

-cook 6-8mins/side, let rest 5 mins

-serve with salsa.

personally i only put in about 2 tsp parsley, using the above recipe will make it taste VERY much like parsley...too much so. also it is nice if the salsa is warmed a bit.

chicken bbq'd in foil packets:

-2 skinless/boneless chicken breasts

-1/2 capsicum red pepper, thinly sliced

-1/2 cup leek, thinly sliced

-1 small zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise

-preheat bbq to medium-high (350ish)

-place each breast in center of 12" square of foil. top with 1/2 red pepper, leeks, zucchini. fold opposite sides of foil up to meet on top of the chickn mixture, fold edges together securely. fold remaining two short ends of packets up, to the close package securely.

-place packets on grill, seam side up, close lid, cook for 20mins

-place packets on dinner plates & serve.

note: you can season the breast any way you choose to. just with salt, pepper, paprika etc. or buy pre-seasoned breasts at your grocer, that's normally what i do.

This works with Chicken or Turkey

LEMON DILL CHICKEN SALAD

Chop turkey or chicken into cubes

Boil in a mixture of water, lemon juice, and dill

Drain when cooked. Cool.

When chicken is cold,

Add plain yogurt until chicken is coated, fresh coarsely chopped dill, juice of 1 lemon, and its zest.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Its a lovely cold salad, great for summer.

High in protein, very light.

It has dairy, but am sure you can substitute the yogurt with something else and get roughly the same fresh taste.

Chinese Stirfry

2-3 tablespoons olive oil

2 McCormick all-vegetable Bouillon (vegetable, chicken, or beef)

2 tablespoons of VH soy sauce

2 tablespoons of corn starch (add more if you want it thicker)

2 tablespoons white wine (optional, just adds flavour)

You will need a large stir fry pan, skillet, or pot.

- Cook rice while preparing stirfry

- Place olive oil in pot and cook red pepper for about 5 minutes over medium heat.

[StrongerToday]

This is one of my daughter's favorites, it's a Rachael Ray - start to finish in under 30 minutes. We leave out the hot pepper flakes and usually don't add the orange zest.... but you can throw in whatever veggies you want!

Chicken Satay

3 3/4 cups water

2 oranges, zested

2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed

2 tablespoons canola or safflower oil, 2 turns of the pan

1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds chicken breast tenders, 2 packages, sliced on an angle into bite-size pieces

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 medium yellow skinned onion, sliced

1 red bell pepper, seeded, quartered and sliced

1 cup shredded carrots, store bought, or 2 medium carrots cut into matchsticks

6 scallions, cut on an angle into 2 inch pieces

1 cup snow peas, a couple of handfuls

Satay sauce:

4 rounded tablespoonfuls chunky peanut butter

3 tablespoons dark soy, Tamari

3 tablespoons honey

1-inch ginger root, peeled and minced

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 orange, juiced

Garnish:

2 ounces (1/4 cup) chopped peanuts or nut topping, available on the baking aisle

2 to 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves or flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

Heat water with orange zest to boiling. Add rice, return to boil, stir. Cover pot and reduce heat to simmer. Cook rice until tender, 18 minutes. Fluff with fork.

For stir-fry, heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add chicken, garlic and onion, stir-fry 3 minutes. Add remaining veggies and stir-fry 5 minutes more. Heat all ingredients for sauce together in a small pot over low heat, stirring the sauce until all ingredients are combined. Transfer stir-fry to a large platter and pour sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle the platter with chopped nuts, cilantro, and basil. Serve jasmine rice in a separate dish with an ice cream scoop to serve the rice with -- it makes perfect, pretty, round portions of rice on the dinner plates.

thanks carrie, for the link too..do you get it at whole foods?

strongertoday..the Chicken Satay sounds yummy, I have most of the ingredients in the house..thanks

[Carriefaith]

thanks carrie, for the link too..do you get it at whole foods?

Someone from the US may be able to answer your question (I am from Canada). But, I get the sauces at my local grocery store. I'm assuming that they wouldn't be hard to find in the US either.

[ebrbetty]

I'll look this week..thanks again!

hugs

[francelajoie]

VH products are not sold in the US. I am from Canada and I do buy a supply when I visit my family. Their sauces are very good and I have not yet found any in the United States that even come close...especially the plum sauce.

[Laura]

My easiest chicken is to cook a piece of chicken (bake, pan-cook, whatever) with just a little salt and pepper, then eat it on rice with the following oh-so-easy sauce: gluten-free tamari mixed with mirin to taste. It's very much like teriyaki. Mirin is a sweet rice wine, what gives most teriyaki sauces that distinctive sweetness that can't be achieved with plain sugar. But read the label carefully - some mirin has soy sauce and even wheat protein in it, while others don't. Even the same brand might make 2 different types where one is gluten-free and the other isn't.

Then I add whatever vegetables are in season to the chicken and rice, and it's a ridiculously healthy but totally delicious dinner.

That sounds really good. I think I will make it tonight. Thanks!

It is SO good. My 8 year old asks for it at least once a week (I think she'd eat it more if I let her) and it's so simple that she makes the sauce by herself. Sometimes I throw broccoli in too, you really can adjust it to what you like or don't like. (And no, I don't make the little rice balls - maybe if I was impressing company, but not for just us.)

[lpellegr]

Here's one if you have leftover gluten-free breadcrumbs (sometimes I bake a loaf of bread just to make it into crumbs):

Slice raw boneless skinless chicken breasts to about 1/4", then put them between plastic wrap and pound them just a little thinner (skip the pounding if you are good at slicing thinner than 1/4").

Make breading (I just guess at how much I'll need so I can't give you measurements):

half gluten-free bread crumbs

half finely chopped walnuts or pecans

salt, nutmeg to taste

Beat together one egg and a few spoonfuls of brown mustard and dip chicken in this or brush it onto both sides. Coat chicken slices in breading and let it sit 15-30 min to set up a little. Saute on each side in a mix of olive oil and butter until browned and cooked through. This is phenomenal and worth the work. Also works with turkey breast, and you could probably use any kind of mustard that floats your boat. I'm drooling just thinking about it and wish I was having it tonight!

[amybeth]

When I'm feeling exceptionally lazy, I just saute some chicken in a pan with fruit jam - (I prefer apricot)...occasionally I add veggies and throw it over rice. Depending on the jam, sometimes I thin it out with a little water...........

It's very sweet, but very tasty.

I also have a great lemon chicken recipe. I can't think of all the ingredients right now, but I'll post it when I have it nearby.

[Carriefaith]

Baked chicken with cranberry sauce is also good.

[StrongerToday]

Baked chicken with cranberry sauce is also good.

I do both apricot and cranberry with pork tenderloins too. Trader Joe's has some great fruit sauces!

[amybeth]

That reminds me....chicken w/ cranberry sauce, crushed pineapple, and sprinkled with cinnamon - then bake. Yum!

I made the recipe the other day and it was really good and really easy to make. I put other veggies in there because I didn't have exactly what the recipe called for. I also just made wild rice instead of the one it called for (I think it was jasmine which I didn't have). The kids and DH really liked it. Thanks again!

[mamaw]
