Chicken Jalfrezi
While the name suggests its a chinese dish it is infact an Indian/Pakistani dish. It is rather uncommon but is it really really delicious and I am very happy to share this recipe with you tonight!

Ingredients:
1lb. Boneless chicken breast
2 Tomatoes medium sized very finely chopped
2 tbsp butter (or ghee if its available)
2 tbsp olive oil (or any cooking oil really, I just prefer olive)
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin seed powder
3/4 tbsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp Red chili Powder
2 Cloves of Garlic finely chopped
1 Bell Pepper
1 Medium sized white Onion very finely chopped
1.5 tbsp fresh ginger grated or very finely chopped. Can also use ginger paste
Some Cilantro
Salt

Make very small cubes of chicken and add in the turmuric, salt and chili powder. Let it marinate for a bit (I let it marinate for about 30 minutes but I recommend atleast an hour, preferably 2 hours in fridge), add very little water if needed to help marinate properly.

In a pan, heat up some oil and fry some onion and garlic till its color changes to golden. Add the chicken into it and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

Add all the tomatoes and ginger into it and let it cook for another 10 minutes. Dont add water. Let the water dry out. Add the butter

When the water dries out, add cumin and coriander seed powder. and stir it for a bit to even out the powder taste throughout. Then add the bell pepper and let it fry for about 5 more minutes.
Voila, your delicious dish is ready. Add in some fresh herbs such as cilantro and Mint leaves and eat with pita, naan or rice.

Ciao!

Shawarma burritto

Go to an Arab store. Ask for "shawarma spice". Use a little bit of it on cubes of boneless chicken with some oil and other spices if you like. Bake it or cook it on a frying pan with oil spray. You can eat this as is or put on a salad or make a taco/burritto with it with some rice, some roasted veggies (onions, tomatos, bell peppers), salsa and cheese.

Mediterranean Lemon Chicken

This goes nicely with roasted potatoes! Mmm mmm Mediterranean! The recipe uses chicken legs, but works for any chicken parts.

Simply amazing

Good thread. Good ideas. Good humour too. I especially liked the line "why ruin a good life"

Goggle slow cooked recipes too. For something different I will make up a batch of shredded chicken slow cooked (with different seasonings) cooked in salsa. Good, as you can freeze portions for later

omg I am so sick of chicken too.... my husband found an amazing sale on chicken, and we have soo much in the freezer. I dislike fish, and beef is too expensive.
