Chicken inspiration

[miniman]

I have some chicken breasts to use tomorrow. Bored with my usual repertoire - inspire me please!

[Pferdestarke]

Butterfly, then cut in to thin strips about 6cm long.

Marinate overnight in soy, garlic granules, ginger, chilli sauce, black pepper and a little sugar and vinegar.

Stir fry for around 4 minutes on high heat and then add three tablespoons of sesame seeds, a finely chopped red chilli and shredded spring onion.

Serve with rice and vegetables.

Any good?

Butterfly, fill with cheese, wrap with bacon, bake on high heat for 45 mins, serve with rice and pepper sauce.

Chicken kiev.
Slice a pocket in them and stuff with garlic butter and a bit of parsley.

Dip in beaten egg then breadcrumbs, then egg again and breadcrumbs for the second time
Fry, or fry for a bit to crisp up the coating and then oven bake.

I made a chicken pie this morning. Random assortment of vegetables from the fridge, poach the chicken, add veg, drain water off to make gravy, then put in pastry and cook for about 30 mins in the oven. I didn't get the pastry quite right but not bad for a first attempt.

No, lunch but I cooked it in the morning. It's a bit of an operation actually.

Veering off topic a bit but chicken has absolutely no place on the breakfast table. Pork, beef or even fish are fine. Chicken definitely not.

Don't forget to double bread the kievs!!!

If you lived in South East Asia you might have chicken for Breakfast!

Actually I do. In Thailand. I have tried it - grilled, fried, stir fried and everything. Delicious for lunch but not a good breakfast.

Lovely, thanks all, some great ideas in there. Do fancy the Koftas, will report back!

[jas xjr]

How about pan fried in butter ? Just a bit of seasoning , served with salad or a baked potato

[rhyspw]

Can I ask why oil and not the traditional egg?

Just because it is quicker/easier. Don't try to turn them over to evenly brown them this way though.
