Its not porn, I swear!
Have some leftover chicken, so does anybody have any recipes that involve chicken that are cheap and/or contain not a whole lot of ingrediants. And not just chicken with a side dish
And not chicken fettucini alfredo either as thats what I just had. I'm so picky

how about a jar of curry sauce (dansak/rogan josh, whatever), which rice and a naan?
easy, fatty, spicy, and well nice.
I don't know what any of those ingrediants are
I like the idea of sandwiches but the man doesn't.
I'm trying to make up for the fact that I won't be able to take us out to eat anymore by cooking (though extremly cheaply) but I can't even cook a frozen pizza and am just having a real doozy here trying to think of anything.
or if you want to be adventurous chicken kiev with garlic butter (same as above but add some buuter, garlic and parsley)
If I have about 1/2lb of chicken (already bonless and skinless) how many eggs would be needed? And then just put enough flour into it to make it like a paste?
Roll in the bread crumbs, stick in the oven and bake?
also dont forget to season the breadcumbs if they are the plain ones (salt and pepper will do the trick but feel free to add anything else)
On a side note, i made stuffed chicken breasts wrapped in bacon (which ive not done before) last night. They were rather nice apparently.
Hell yeah. I love stuffed chicken breasts wrapped in bacon, I haven't made them for ages
But yes. Pie is easy and good with chicken, I currently favour chicken and leek or chicken and asparagus.
I cooked mine for 35 minutes at 200c, and for the last 10 minutes i took it out of the foil and put the oven up to 230c so the bacon crisped up, as it looks a bit insipid otherwise. You could do the same with Pancetta, but as thats really thin it'd only need 5 minutes maximum (i'd guess) to crisp up out of the foil.
It's really easy to do and looks quite impressive and skill worthy
all ya need is some veggies, cheese, tortilla wraps and the chicken
are gorge. im having some tonight
Or you could go for a tomato based curry, fry some onions, coriander, madras curry powder (or any spice/curry powder you fancy and chillis (add to taste). When onions are softening add the chicken. Add a few tins of tomatoes, some fresh as well if you like. Cook on a moderately high temp for about 30 mins until it thickens and reduces into a nice sauce. You'll need to stir this frequently.
You can also cooke it on a lower heat and adjust the time accordingly, I don't find it makes a difference though.
The best way to make a curry though is to treat it like a stew (I usually do this with red meat though). Either stew in the oven on a really low heat for 4 hours or stick it in a slow cooker. My fave indian restaurant slow cooks all of their currys for 4 hours and it's devine.
If you don't like spicey, chicken stews and soups are lovely, easy and cheap. There's loads of recipes online, I like Delia Smith's cooking
Marinated the chicken in extra virgin olive oil, garlic and pepper. Mixed bread crumbs, garlic powder, oregeno, basil and pepper together, baked for a bit, then rolled the chicken in it and baked.
I can cook!!! It didn't burn, it didn't taste like crap... its so exciting!
The quesidillas and stir fry sound delicious too, I may have to get some more
What vegies and sauce do you like in your stir fry?
What kinds of things do you guys like stuffed in chicken? Please tell me something with cheese
