Chicken Stir Fry Recipe - In Ten Minutes

Pan Fried Chicken


Chicken Stir Fry is quick and easy to make and you can use whatever veggies you happen to have in the fridge or pantry.

It's probably best to use a wok or large frying pan to make this stir fry recipe, but you could get away with using a large pan if that's what you have.

This recipe will serve around 4 people and will take less than ten minutes to prepare.

Chicken Stir Fry Recipe - Ingredients

Oil for frying (I use olive oil)
1 Onion - peeled and sliced
2 or 3 Carrots - peeled and finely sliced
1 large chicken breast - cut into small pieces
1 Clove of Garlic - crushed
1 Capsicum - any colour - thinly sliced
1 fresh corn cob - kernels removed (or use frozen)
Heaped teaspoon ready crushed ginger (or use fresh)
2 or 3 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce (or use hot chilli if you prefer)
Quarter cup (approx 80 ml) soy sauce
Packet of ready to use noodles (or use dried) - enough for 4 people

Chicken Stir Fry Recipe - Method

Heat the oil in the wok/pan
Gently fry the onion and carrot for a minute or two
Add the chicken pieces and gently fry for a few more minutes
Add the garlic, capsicum and corn and stir for another minute or two, making sure the chicken is cooked all the way through
Add the ginger, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce and stir through
Finally, add the noodles and stir until heated through (see Handy Hints below if using dried noodles)
Serve immediately

Serving Suggestions

I like to serve at the table using large Chinese style bowls and chop sticks
The wok/pan keeps the stir fry nice and hot and people can help themselves
Have extra soy sauce and sweet chilli at the table, so people can add extra if they wish

Handy Hints

As mentioned earlier, you can use a whole range of veggies
String beans, broccoli (stems and florets), peas, snow peas and broad beans are all good additions
If you are using dried noodles, you will need to put them in boiling water to separate them, then drain them before adding to the wok/pan
I like to put the ready to use noodles in boiling water too. Drain them just before adding to the wok/pan
This separates the noodles and makes them nice and hot when you add them to the chicken and veggies

So, there you have it, Chicken Stir Fry Recipe in Ten Minutes.

How To Make Rice With Chicken: Try This Delicious Colombian Recipe!

Pan Fried Chicken


If you have ever heard anything about Colombia (it's NOT called Columbia!), aside from reports on the news that talk about drug dealing and guerrilla attacks, is that this country is home of beautiful landscapes and cities, jovial and friendly people, and also varied and delicious food. Here, I'd like to share with you a very common recipe from my country that you can share with your family, friends or even bring at potlucks. Surprise your guests by saying: "Hey look, I made a Colombian dish: rice with chicken!"

Ingredients:

- 2 chicken breasts (unfrozen)

- 2 mugs of white rice

- 1 mug of green peas

- 1 mug of chopped carrots

- 2 tomatoes

- 1 1/2 yellow or red onions (of the bulb kind)

- 2 spoonfuls of cooking oil

- Salt to taste

- Water

Utensils:

- 1 frying pan

- 2 saucepans

- 1 large plate

- 1 large spoon (preferably wooden)

- 1 fork

Optional: Rice cooker

Your very first step is to chop the carrots, tomatoes and one of the onions into little squares. The other half onion can just be sliced. Then you have to put the two chicken breasts in one of the saucepans and fill it with water until they are totally covered. Sprinkle a bit of salt and add the sliced half onion to the water. Proceed to cook the breasts with the stove on high for 45 minutes or so. The chicken will be ready once its flesh has turned white and tender (you can check it out using the fork).

Meanwhile, while the breasts are cooking, put two mugs of rice in the other saucepan, along with the green peas and chopped carrots. Add four mugs of water into the saucepan, a bit of salt to taste, and one spoonful of cooking oil. Now put the stove on high; once the water starts boiling, turn the stove to medium fire. After 40 minutes or so in total, the mix will be ready once most of the water has dried up, and the rice gets a soft texture. Turn the stove to very low heat to keep the rice warm and stir it a bit with the spoon. On a side note, if you can use a rice cooker instead of a regular saucepan, you just put the previously mentioned ingredients in the cooker, turn it on, and leave it to do its job. Using a rice cooker, your rice mix will be ready on 35 minutes approximately.

Once the breasts are ready, put them on the plate using your fork and let them cool down for 10 minutes. Once the breasts can be touched (no pun intended), shred them with your hands, putting the bones apart.

Now, you are going to make a stew (guiso) on your frying pan. Put the other spoonful of oil on the pan, add the chopped tomatoes and onions, the shredded breasts and a bit of salt. Put the stove on medium and let the stew cook, stirring with the spoon every now and then. Do this for 10 minutes or so. Once its ready, add the whole stew to the saucepan with the rice, and mix everything thoughtfully. Y listo! A saucepan full of delicious rice with chicken will be ready for you to serve to your guests. You can accompany it with fried potatoes or fried plantain slices, salad and ketchup.

As a variation, you can try cooking the chicken breasts first (with the salt and sliced onion) and using 4 mugs of the resulting chicken broth instead of water for cooking the rice mix. This will intensify the chicken flavor of the rice. Also, if you wish to make this recipe healthier, you can replace the white rice with brown rice, provided you use 6-7 mugs of water/broth instead of 4; also, it would be better to replace the commercial cooking oil with extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil.

Buen provecho!

Shoyu Chicken - The Best Shoyu Chicken Recipe

Shoyu chicken is a classic Japanese dish. Shoyu is quite salty and strong and if you use too much it can overpower the flavor of the dish and toughen whichever meat you are using so take care when using it.

The following recipe is easy to make and the bird is cooked in its skin to give the bird more flavor. Take it off before serving if you like. You can use skinless poultry pieces to make this dish but the skin adds flavor so it is best to use it. This dish might not require many ingredients but it is full-flavored and perfectly balanced in terms of taste. You can use mirin if you do not have sake. Mirin is an Asian cooking wine.

What is Shoyu?

This ingredient is a dark brown liquid made from fermented soya beans. The hard-to-digest starches, fats, and soy proteins are converted into simple fatty acids and sugars by means of either an old-fashioned fermentation process or a chemical process. Shoyu is made with wheat and soya beans, unlike tamari, which is made with soya beans only. This ingredient is used in many Japanese recipes and you can get it in the Asian food section of most grocery stores. Keep it for up to a year at room temperature.

Poultry and soy sauce dishes are very popular in various Asian cuisines and most of these cuisines have at least one such dish. Teriyaki marinades often use a lot of shoyu but this recipe uses chicken broth to add another flavor and to dilute it a bit. Boneless chicken is used to make this tasty Japanese recipe and it cooks faster than bone-in chicken.

What you will need:

2 boneless chicken breasts
2 boneless chicken thighs
1/2 cup brown sugar or honey
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup shoyu
1 sliver fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sake

How to make it:

Wash the poultry and pat it try. Cut the breasts in half. Add the sake, ginger, honey, shoyu, and broth to a deep skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the meat and cover the pan. Let it poach for ten minutes, then turn over the pieces and poach the mixture for five more minutes or until the meat is done.

Arrange the chicken on a serving platter and poach the liquid for a few more minutes until it reduces a bit. Take the skin off the bird and pour the liquid over the finished dish. Serve the it garnished with green onions and with some steamed white rice.

What to Do with the Leftover Skin

You can discard the skin if you want to, else you can make a really delicious snack by cutting it into little pieces and frying it in a hot skillet until golden brown. Drain the fried skin on a paper towel and serve it as a garnish or snack. This is a bit like pork rinds but less fatty. It will keep in an airtight container for a day but then it will start to go soggy.




There are so many things you can do with boneless chicken, whether you want to try the above shoyu chicken recipe, an easy baked chicken rice recipe or even something like a homemade chicken parmesan recipe to impress your family.

Beer Can Chicken Recipe and Tips

If you're looking for a way to knock your friends' socks off at your next barbeque party then this beer can chicken recipe is just what you need. Sometimes called beer butt chicken, this dish doesn't just look amazing. It is without a doubt the most moist and flavorful chicken I've ever eaten. And you'll be shocked at how easy it is to prepare.

The ingredients:

1 whole chicken about 3 1/2 to 5 pounds

1 12 ounce can of beer

2 teaspoons olive oil

4 tablespoons of your favorite dry rub

Open the can of beer and pour out half. Use a can opener to punch a couple more holes in the top of the can. This will let the steam flow more freely into the bird and infuse it with flavor. Pour 1 tablespoon of dry rub into the can.

Next remove the giblets and clean the chicken inside and out under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle a tablespoon of dry rub into the cavity. Drizzle the olive oil over the outside of the bird so that its completely coated. Then sprinkle the outside of the bird with the remaining rub and use your hands to rub it all over the skin.

Next you need to carefully lower the bird onto the beer can. Make sure the can is on a steady surface so it doesn't fall over. The bird should fit nicely onto the can and you can then position the legs so they form a kind of tripod with the beer can. You should also tuck the wings in snug to the body to prevent them from burning.

Unless you want to incinerate your chicken you need to use the indirect grilling method. You don't want open flames directly beneath the chicken or the beer could drip down and ignite, leaving you with a charred chicken. If you're grilling with charcoal you can just place a drip pan under the bird. If using gas leave the burner directly under the bird turned off.

Cover the grill and let it cook until the temperature of the thigh reaches 180 degrees (about 1 to 1 1/2 hours). Take it off the grill and let it sit for 10 minutes before removing the can and carving.

To really impress your friends, make sure they see it right after it comes off the grill and while its still on the can. This simple beer can chicken recipe will have the whole neighborhood thinking you're a supreme grillmaster!

The Best Tasting Baked Whole Chicken Recipe on the Net

Baked whole chicken is a great way to entertain when you are having friends over. Most people love chicken and this dish is so very easy to do. A lot of folks have had dried out chicken before and they do not like it so they will be very impressed with this dish when it comes out of the oven.

One of your concerns about this is that you want to make sure that your chicken is cooked all the way through. As humans we cannot eat our chicken rare - or even medium rare. when you take the chicken out of the oven, it the meat is pink, then it needs to be cooked more.

A well cooked roasted bird will have some juicy tender meat and this will be fully cooked and crisp. So here is how we come out with that.

We are going to pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees with the roasting pan (but not the rack) in it. While the oven is pre-heating we can take the neck, giblets and all of the trimmings from out of the inside of the bird. Unless you are planning on using them for something then you can just throw them away. Rinse the bird inside and out and pat dry.

Now take some butter and melt it down. Then right at the neck, insert your fingers and loosen the skin away from the bird. Put some of that melted butter between the skin and the meat of the chicken. Then season with salt and pepper between the skin and the meat...mmm..this is going to be some great tasting baked whole chicken!

Now generously season the inside of the bird (the cavities) and the outside with salt and pepper. And for this baked whole chicken recipe I will take about three medium lemons which have been washed and dried and cut them in two and insert them into the chicken.

Next, take about three or four big sprigs of rosemary and insert them into the bird. Now you can brush the outside of the bird with the rest of that melted butter. Place the bird onto the rack and then place the rack into the pre-heated pan in the oven.

Now for this baked whole chicken dish which I call Lemon rosemary chicken, you can turn down the oven to 375 degrees and cook this for about 1 and a half to two hours. I would set the timer for an hour and then when it goes off, what I do is to check to make sure that the chicken is not too brown. It will not be done, so do not let the brownness fool you.

Just because it is brown on the outside does not mean that it is fully cooked. And this is where a lot of 'newbies' get lost. They take it out of the oven, thinking that it is done and then serve it up to their family only to have half of it still red with blood. Nope, don't want to go there with baked whole chicken!

Here is what you do. If it is too brown, simply cover it loosely with aluminum foil (shiny side out) and keep cooking until the internal temperature is 165 to 170 degrees. You will need an internal thermometer for that. I use an instant read one which will tell you right away.

If you do not have one then you can simply wiggle the leg back and forth. If it moves very freely then most likely it is done. But I would still cut into the joint right there where the leg meets the body and if the juices run clear, clear, clear, not red, then it is done.

By all means you can now set it out on the counter and cover it loosely and let it rest for about fifteen minutes before you start to carve it us and serve it.

Now this is probably the easiest baked whole chicken dish which you will ever do and folks will love it. It will have that lemon rosemary flavor and be moist and juicy and people will think you slaved over that all day.

Lemon Rosemary Baked Whole Chicken

1 whole chicken, rinsed and dried

3 medium lemons, washed and dried and cut into halves

3-4 whole sprigs of rosemary

salt and pepper to taste

melted butter

Instant Mashed Potatoes Coated Baked Chicken Recipe

Today I'm going to show you how to make Chicken in a whole new way! Well, ok - I'm sure you've made shake and bake before, but this is even better - and you don't even have to buy a seasoning packet. Sometimes the best recipes are invented by accident because you have either limited time or limited ingredients. We watch a lot of shows on the Food Network, but sometimes I wish they'd have just one show that helps real people cook better with the ingredients they have. Yeah, I know - they had that doorknockers one a few years back where the guy shows up and makes dinner out of what's in the fridge, but he's still making semi-gourmet stuff. I want to know what I can make out of what I have when I get home from work at 5:30, and I'd like to be eating it by 6:15 if possible. I was making a quickie dinner tonight as I often do - and as luck would have it I saw a recipe on a box that was actually new, different - and that I'll try this week.

I like chicken, and we always seem to keep many 4 lb bags of boneless "chicken tenders" in the freezer for all kinds of purposes. This recipe is the perfect quick meal because all you have to do is put some frozen boneless skinless chicken in your microwave and defrost it about half way - and then pre-heat your oven to 375.

These are the ingredients you're going to need:

* 1 cup instant mashed potatoes

* boneless skinless chicken

* seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic and/or onion powder)

* butter or margarine

While you've gotten this stuff around your chicken should be thawing out in the microwave. When I say you want it about half way (or more) thawed out - I mean it should be pliable, but you should be thawing it out not cooking it. You shouldn't have the ends turning white and cooking - they'll get hard or rubbery in the oven. I freeze nearly all my meat and thaw out only what I need when I need it.

Get a 9 x 13 baking dish and grease it up with some oil - we like olive oil. You're going to take either a very large mixing bowl or a big ziploc baggie and put the instant mashed potatoes in it. Add your salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you want to taste in the bag or bowl. You're going to place one chicken breast piece in at a time and shake it up coating with the instant mashed potatoes mixture. Then place each in the greased baking dish. How many chicken pieces you use depends on how many people you're serving. If you are using the "chicken tenders" like us - then usually 2-3 pieces per person is fine. If you're using an entire "chicken breast" I would use one per person.

Once you get them all coated and in the pan - add a little pat or 1/2 tsp of butter or margarine on top of each one to melt in as they bake. Bake 35-40 minutes on 375, how long depends on how many pieces of chicken you use. You want to take the chicken out when nice and tender - not "crispy" (unless you like it that way).

Twist the recipe:

If you've read my other recipes than you know I love to "twist" or have multiple variations of the same thing. This is because you can't have everything on hand all the time. So - instead of instant mashed potatoes you could use saltines, or ritz crackers, or even club crackers. Also you could add some veggies like carrots or potatoes to the pan and bake an entire meal at once ready to serve! If I did this I would add a cup of either water or chicken broth to the bottom of the pan and cover with foil to steam the veggies nice and moistly as the chicken bakes.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Batter recipe - The Secret's Only a Few Keystrokes Away!

I though it would be easy to find the Kentucky Fried Chicken batter method online, so I typed it into the search engine. Turns out, it wasn't that easy. Oh, I found lots of recipes, but I also found it hard to believe that any of them were authentic. Now, I'm pretty easy to fool. I'll look at a zirconia brilliant and not know it's a fake, but when I saw some of the ingredients in these recipes, I was convinced they weren't the real thing.

I was all the time a fan of Kfc, but I only decided to look for the method after years of trying to fry chicken and failing. Cooking was never my strong point, but in more up-to-date years I have become more outpatient and therefore, a good cook. My increased trust inspired me to conquer the art of frying chicken. You may think that I am being a bit dramatic, but then you've never had to eat my fried chicken. Believe me, my husband understands why I am was being so determined to find the best method possible.

Pan Fried Chicken

As it sometimes happens with computer searches, I had to surf awhile, and page nearby straight through recipes and web sites before I came upon the actual Kentucky Fried Chicken batter recipe, but it was well worth it in the end. I finally found it, along with many others, in a method book that contains hundreds of authentic recipes from some of the most beloved restaurants around. I gotta tell ya, I don't know how this book came about, but I sure wish that I found it years ago. Now when I say we're having fried chicken for dinner, my husband says, "great," instead of, " hey, let's order a pizza!"

Ingredients

* 4 chicken leg quarters * 3/4 cup flour * 1 tablespoon salt * 1 tablespoon pepper * 2 teaspoons msg * 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Cut chicken into 8 pieces(4 legs and 4 thighs. 3. In a zip lock bag mix all dry ingredients. 4. Wet chicken. 5. Put one or two pieces of chicken at a time into the bag and shake well. 6. Then put chicken pieces on an oiled pan. Use Canola or Peanut oil so your chicken will not stick. 7. Bake practically 40-50 minutes until chicken is done. Half way straight through baking spoon oil from pan on chicken to brown properly.

Chicken Bhuna Curry Recipe

You'll need a couple of hours to prepare the recipe and another 30 minutes to cook. It'll feed 4 people, and it's worth it!
Curry ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, 6 tbsp plain natural yoghurt, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tsp garam masala, 1 lemon, tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp paprika, 3 cardamoms, tbsp salt, 1 tbsp ground chilli, 1 tbsp cumin, vegetable oil, olive oil, fresh coriander.
Pilau rice ingredients:
2 cups basmati rice, 1 onion, 1 clove of garlic, cinnamon stick, 2 cardamom pods, 1 tbsp fennel seeds, vegetable oil.
Method: Preparing the Chicken
1. Prepare the spices - crush the garlic into a bowl with the garam masala, turmeric, paprika and cumin. Remove the husk from the cardamoms and add this, as well as the chilli, cumin and salt. Mix together before pouring over the yoghurt.
2. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the mixture. Stir together well.
3. Cut the chicken into small chunks and put into the bowl. Use your hands to completely cover the chicken pieces in your marinade.
Method: The Pilau Rice

2. Add the rice to the pan once it has been washed thoroughly with cold water. Add in the garlic (crushed), cinnamon, fennel seeds and cardamom. Pour cold water over the rice until it's totally covered and turn up the heat.
3. Once the water begins to boil allow it to do so for a further 5 minutes. After this time, put the lid on the saucepan, turn off the heat and allow it to settle for 20 minutes.
Method: The Curry
1. Pour a tablespoon of olive oil into a frying pan and place over a high heat. Once the pan is hot add the chicken and fry until you're happy the chicken has been cooked through.
2. Add a little garam masala and coriander to the pan with the chicken and fry for another 1/2 minute or so.
3. Put the rice around the edge of 4 plates and add the chicken in the middle - just the way my mum used to! Serve with a naan bread to mop up any leftovers.

Brie Appetizer recipe - Fried Cheese Cubes

This Brie appetizer formula takes only a few minutes to put together and you could make it at the last slight for unexpected guests. They will be very surprised and pleased that you could come up with something so warm and yummy at such short notice. Although this formula calls for Brie cheese, you could successfully use it with any slice-able cheese that melts easily.

Croustillant de Brie

Pan Fried Chicken

1 egg 1 tablespoon water 2 tablespoons all purpose flour 1/2 cup dried fine bread crumbs 8 ounces Brie cheese vegetable oil for frying

In a small, shallow bowl, use a fork to beat the egg with the water until blended.

Place the flour on a plate.

Place the bread crumbs on a plate.

Slice the Brie into 24 or so equal sized cubes.

Dredge each of the pieces in the flour, then shake off the excess.

Next dip each piece of cheese in the egg, turning to coat all sides with the egg.

Finally, roll the pieces in the bread crumbs. You will probably need to use your finger tips to make sure each piece is well coated.

If you wish, you can now place the breaded cheese in the refrigerator for some hours to wait until you wish to serve. Otherwise, you can fry right away.

To fry, heat 1/8 inch of oil in a sturdy frying pan on medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the cheese. It will swiftly brown. Turn gradually to brown on all sides. The whole process will take only one or two minutes. Be particular not to leave the cheese in the oil for too long or it will break through the breading and ooze.

Remove the cheese from the cooking oil and place on paper towel to absorb some of the oil.

Serve the fried cheese cubes immediately with toothpicks or forks.

Makes 24 appetizer bites.

You may wish to offer a dipping sauce with this Brie appetizer recipe. The salty mild taste of Brie goes very well with fruit flavors and you could try dipping it in jam thinned with a slight water - fig, apricot or raspberry would all be sensational. If you mix the jam with a slight vinegar instead of water, you will get a great tasting sweet and sour sauce.

Instant Mashed Potatoes Coated Baked Chicken recipe

Today I'm going to show you how to make Chicken in a whole new way! Well, ok - I'm sure you've made shake and bake before, but this is even good - and you don't even have to buy a seasoning packet. Sometimes the best recipes are invented by emergency because you have whether dinky time or dinky ingredients. We watch a lot of shows on the Food Network, but sometimes I wish they'd have just one show that helps real people cook good with the ingredients they have. Yeah, I know - they had that doorknockers one a few years back where the guy shows up and makes dinner out of what's in the fridge, but he's still manufacture semi-gourmet stuff. I want to know what I can make out of what I have when I get home from work at 5:30, and I'd like to be eating it by 6:15 if possible. I was manufacture a quickie dinner tonight as I often do - and as luck would have it I saw a method on a box that was truly new, dissimilar - and that I'll try this week.

I like chicken, and we all the time seem to keep many 4 lb bags of boneless "chicken tenders" in the freezer for all kinds of purposes. This method is the perfect quick meal because all you have to do is put some freezing boneless skinless chicken in your microwave and defrost it about half way - and then pre-heat your oven to 375.

Pan Fried Chicken

These are the ingredients you're going to need:

* 1 cup instant mashed potatoes

* boneless skinless chicken

* seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic and/or onion powder)

* butter or margarine

While you've gotten this stuff colse to your chicken should be thawing out in the microwave. When I say you want it about half way (or more) thawed out - I mean it should be pliable, but you should be thawing it out not cooking it. You shouldn't have the ends turning white and cooking - they'll get hard or rubbery in the oven. I freeze nearly all my meat and thaw out only what I need when I need it.

Get a 9 x 13 baking dish and grease it up with some oil - we like olive oil. You're going to take whether a very large mixing bowl or a big ziploc baggie and put the instant mashed potatoes in it. Add your salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you want to taste in the bag or bowl. You're going to place one chicken breast piece in at a time and shake it up coating with the instant mashed potatoes mixture. Then place each in the greased baking dish. How many chicken pieces you use depends on how many people you're serving. If you are using the "chicken tenders" like us - then usually 2-3 pieces per person is fine. If you're using an whole "chicken breast" I would use one per person.

Once you get them all coated and in the pan - add a dinky pat or 1/2 tsp of butter or margarine on top of each one to melt in as they bake. Bake 35-40 minutes on 375, how long depends on how many pieces of chicken you use. You want to take the chicken out when nice and tender - not "crispy" (unless you like it that way).

Twist the recipe:

If you've read my other recipes than you know I love to "twist" or have multiple variations of the same thing. This is because you can't have all things on hand all the time. So - instead of instant mashed potatoes you could use saltines, or ritz crackers, or even club crackers. Also you could add some veggies like carrots or potatoes to the pan and bake an whole meal at once ready to serve! If I did this I would add a cup of whether water or chicken broth to the lowest of the pan and cover with foil to steam the veggies nice and moistly as the chicken bakes.
