Stir-Fried Chicken and Leeks

May 14, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

This was mild and good, soothing even.  It’s not spicy at all, so if you’re looking for spicy Chinese you’ll need to doctor this up or find a new recipe.  Prep all the veggies and chicken first, so you can just zip through the cooking part. Start the rice first, of course, then prep. 2 [...]

Kandy's Garlic Chicken

December 23, 2003 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I don’t think I’ve ever met Kandy. She’s a friend of my sister’s. But her chicken is divine! Melt some butter (1/2 cup or a bit less) and then put a bunch of chopped garlic (4-5 cloves). Take some skinless boneless chicken breasts (3-4) and lay them in a single layer in a baking dish. [...]

Chicken cutlets

Chicken cutlets tonight. I took some boneless skinless chicken breasts and sliced them horizontally to make skinny pieces. Alternately, you could pound them. Mine were still slightly frozen though, making it easier to cut them. Mix some flour with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs (basil or oregano or a mixture). You could put the flour [...]

Chinese Chicken Salad

I was alone for dinner last night and got a craving for a Chinese Chicken Salad. Scoured some cookbooks and couldn’t find anything that sounded right, though. The dressing was the crucial part for me and all I could find was one that had mayonnaise in it! Not at all what I think of for [...]

Chicken in Sherry Cream Sauce

April 13, 2003 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Tonight’s experiment: Chicken in Sherry Cream Sauce. It started as a recipe in Mom’s Updated Recipe Box, one of my “used every week” cookbooks. But I didn’t have the cream of chicken soup the recipe called for, so used some cream of mushroom instead. Then, knowing one daughter really likes mushrooms, I figured I might [...]

Kid's Choice: Macaroni and cheese and chicken fingers

April 12, 2003 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Just one girl for dinner last night so I let her pick. Macaroni and cheese and chicken fingers. I defrosted a couple of chicken breasts and cut them into strips and decided to try the recipe in The Freezer Cooking Manual from 30 Day Gourmet. Mmmmmm. There are several alternatives listed to moisten the chicken [...]
