A Great Recipe For Chicken and Wine Sauce

A Great Recipe For Chicken and Wine Sauce

It’s always tough to find good, easy chicken recipes. Well, I recently found one for chicken and wine sauce. It is quick, tasty and is ready in 40 minutes. Now, after going to work all day, this one is a winner.

The first step naturally is your ingredients. These include two pounds of chicken, olive oil, Italian bread crumbs, eggs, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic. The second part of the recipe calls for red or white wine, chicken broth and canned or fresh mushrooms (your preference). I use canned because this is supposed to be an easy to prepare recipe!

Next is the preparation. First, put two eggs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a bowl and mix. Put chicken cutlets in egg mixture and then cover with bread crumbs.

Drench the chicken in oil and make sure you turn it when you cook it. This part can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator. Before adding the second step, however, always make sure the chicken is at room temperature in a casserole dish.

In a separate large bowl, mix one quarter cup of wine and a one pound can of mushrooms (or fresh if you prefer) and mix.

Pour the mixture into the casserole dish holding the chicken stock, putting liquid and mushrooms on all of the pieces of chicken.

That’s it…that’s the whole recipe. Put the chicken in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes covered with aluminum foil and then cook for ten minutes uncovered. Serve with rice or potatoes and a vegetable or salad and your dinner is done. Easy, delicious and it looks like it took hours to prepare.

"Just Chicken" – Chicken Pot Pie

"Just Chicken" – Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients:

3-4 lb chicken, diced into sections or pieces

Pie dough (recipe below)

1/4 cup butter

Pepper and salt

1 cup of whole milk (do not use non-fat milk)

4 cups of chicken stock

8″ baking dish or pie pan

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place the pieces of chicken in a large pot and add just enough water to cover the top of the chicken. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to medium-low and slowly boil until the meat is falling apart. While the meat cooks, you can prepare the pie dough and grease the baking dish.

Slice the dough in half and then roll out one half to around 1/8 inch thick. Carefully put the rolled out dough in the bottom of the pan. If there is any over-hanging pie dough, cut it from the edges of the pan and set aside.

Place shredded chicken in the dish and the remaining dough. If possible, layer the chicken and the leftover pie dough. Pour in the milk and evenly distribute with two tbsp of the butter. Sprinkle with pepper and salt to taste.

Next, take the other half of the pie dough and roll into a long 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Dice the remaining two tablespoons of butter into tiny pats and dot along the dough. Fold the pie dough into thirds and roll out. Repeat once more. This will ensure that the butter is blended into the dough. Roll out into a thin circle and cover the top half of the pie. Squeeze the edges together and then slice a hole in the top to allow hot air to escape.

Bake the chicken pot pie in the oven for 35-45 min until the juices bubble and the crust is golden brown.

Pie Dough Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 cup butter, diced into small pieces or shortening

3/4 cup of ice water

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour and salt and then work the butter lightly into the flour using either two forks or a pastry blender. When the flour mixture looks like coarse meal, slowly add the ice water and combine just until the dough can hold together. Don’t over mix, or else the dough will get “gummy”. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 60 minutes in order to “rest”.

French Recipes – Three Low-Fat Chicken Recipes

French Recipes – Three Low-Fat Chicken Recipes

France isn’t exactly renowned for low-fat recipes, but here are three classic chicken dishes

specially adapted to provide a healthy, low-fat alternative. They are quick and simple to

prepare and cook – and they are all delicious!

1: Chicken with Pernod & Saffron

Here’s an excellent low-fat chicken recipe using the classic combination of Pernod, saffron,

garlic, tomatoes and olive oil. The taste is truly sensational!

Mix together one tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, 125ml of Pernod (or other pastis),

a few strands of saffron and some salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over eight unskinned

chicken portions and mix well together. Leave for a couple of hours (or even overnight)

for the flavours to develop.

Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy frying pan. Take the chicken pieces out

of the marinade and drain well. Add them to the pan. Cook over a moderate heat, turning once,

until lightly browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.

Add two finely sliced shallots to the pan and sweat gently until softened but not browned. Then

add 4-5 large tomatoes, skinned, deseeded and roughly chopped, together with 3 crushed cloves

of garlic. Cook all together for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Now put the chicken joints

back in the pan. Add about 400ml of hot chicken stock, plus any left-over marinade. Bring to a

simmer, then lower the heat and cook gently for about 20 minutes.

Check the seasoning. Sprinkle with some finely chopped parsley or tarragon, and serve immediately

with a couple of fresh vegetables of your choice. (Serves 4 people.)

2: Roast Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic

Yes, it’s a lot of garlic! But you’ll be surprised at the delicacy and fragrance of the final taste. If you like, you can blanch the garlic for a couple of minutes beforehand – but it’s not really necessary.

Preheat the oven to180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.

Take a large, free-range, farm-reared chicken and season it well inside and out with salt and pepper.

Rub it all over with a little olive oil. (Not too much – this is supposed to be a low-fat recipe!) Put

about 20 unpeeled cloves of garlic inside the cavity, plus a few sprigs of fresh tarragon.

Put the chicken in a suitably sized roating tin and strew over another 20 or so unpeeled garlic cloves.

Now add about 200ml hot chicken stock.

Place in the preheated oven and cook for one hour, basting every now and again with the cooking

juices. Check that the bird is cooked by piercing the thickest part of the thigh with the point of a

sharp knife. If the juices run clear, it’s ready. If they are still a bit pink, put the bird back in the oven

and cook for another 10-15 minutes.

For a truly low-fat chicken dish, remove the skin of the cooked chicken (it should come away quite

easily) before serving. Serve the chicken cut into portions with all the garlic cloves popped out of

their skins and scattered around, and the light, aromatic cooking juices poured over. The garlic can

be spread on slices of French bread that have been lightly browned in a low oven and then drizzled

with a little olive oil. Very authentic! (Serves 4-5 people).

3: Supreme of Chicken with Honey & Lime

This is a spectacularly easy dish!

Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark5.

For four people, take four skinned and flattened chicken breasts and season well with salt and

pepper. Lay them side by side in one layer in a shallow ovenproof dish.

Mix together the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons of good-quality runny honey, 2 peeled and crushed

cloves of garlic, a tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves and 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil.

Pour this mixture over the chicken breasts and bake for about 20 minutes in the preheated oven,

basting from time to time with the cooking juices, until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced

with a sharp knife point.

Serve with some plainly steamed fresh vegetables and/or a dressed rocket salad.

How easy is that?

I hope you enjoy these low-fat chicken recipes from France. Chicken can certainly provide a whole range

of healthy, low-fat meals – but only if you take the time and trouble to seek out free-range, farm-reared,

corn-fed, preferably organic birds. Believe me its well worth the hassle!

A versatile and handy 4 quart stock pot with steamer insert. Columbian’s technology for applying porcelain creates a durable, chip resistant product that will last most families a lifetime. The glass-like surface does not interact with or alter the taste of food, and even the most stubborn foods clean up easily. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won’t burn and resists staining. It’s also non -porous so it won’t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time. When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.

Cooking Tips – How to Make Stewed Chicken and Cornish Game Hens With Cranberry Gravy

Cooking Tips – How to Make Stewed Chicken and Cornish Game Hens With Cranberry Gravy

Stewed Chicken Ingredients:

Five pounds stewing chicken, cut up

Boiling water

One large carrot, cut up

One large stalk celery (with leaves), cut up

One thick slice onion

Four sprigs parsley

Six peppercorns

Six whole cloves

One small bay leaf

Two tablespoons

Procedure:

At the outset, you have to wash the chicken and then put it in a large kettle. Following that, you need to add the water so as to nearly cover the chicken. Afterward, you need to add up the carrot, the celery, the onion, the parsley, the peppercorns, the cloves, the bay leaf and the salt. After that, you have to bring this to a boil, and then later you turn down the heat. And then you must cover and simmer it until the chicken becomes tender for about two to three hours. Then later, you cool this.

Moreover, you have to lift out the chicken and then you have to remove the meat in large pieces. You have to discard the bones. Later, you must strain the stock. Later you need to chill this and lift off the fat. Remember, you have to keep the meat, the stock, and the fat refrigerated until you will need it.

Cornish Game Hens with Cranberry Gravy Ingredients:

Eight frozen Cornish game hens, thawed

Salt and pepper

Bay leaves

Garlic cloves

Whole cloves

Eight small thin slices onion

Four slices lemon

Eight small sprigs celery leaves

Eight sprigs parsley

Four slices bacon

Two large onions, quartered

Three cups chicken stock

One fourth cup dry vermouth

Three fourth cup water

One third cup white vinegar

Six whole cloves

One stick cinnamon, broken up

Fourteen ounce can whole cranberry sauce

One-fourth cup cold water

Two tablespoons cornstarch

Procedure:

At the start, you have to heat the oven to four hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit (or 230 degrees Celsius). Then, you need to have a large shallow roasting pan ready. This should be big enough to hold the eight birds with a little space between. Following that step, you must deeply wash the Cornish hens and dry them very well inside and out with the use of paper toweling. After that you need to thoroughly sprinkle the inside of each with the required salt and the pepper. Next to that, you must add up a small piece of bay leaf, a sliver of garlic, a clove, a slice of onion, half a slice of lemon, a sprig of celery leaves and a sprig of parsley to the inside of each bird. Then, you have to tie the legs and the wings close to the bodies and set the bird in lightly oiled roasting pan.

Furthermore, you need to lay a half strip of bacon over the breast of each bird. And then you have to add the onion quarters, the giblets, the chicken stock and the vermouth to the Rachael Ray pan. Next to that, you need to roast for about five minutes, at four hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit (or 230degrees Celsius). Later, you have to turn the heat to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius) and then you continue roasting it until the birds become very tender. You do this for about forty five minutes. Remember to baste this occasionally and then you have to remove the bacon for the last fifteen minutes cooking.

Moreover, you heat the three-fourth cup (180ml) water, the vinegar, the six cloves and the cinnamon in a saucepan until the liquid is boiling while the birds are being cooked. Then you turn down the heat and then simmer this for another ten minutes. Following that, you have to strain it and then you return the liquid to the saucepan. Afterward, you add up the cranberry sauce and then heat this and stir it continually until it is well blended. You have to set this aside for the gravy.

And finally, you have to put the cooked birds on a large hot platter and set it in warm oven. Then you strain the cooking stock into a large measuring cup and add up water, if necessary, to make the three cups (750ml) liquid. Afterward, you need to put this liquid into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Later, you combine the one-fourth cup (60ml) cold water and the cornstarch in a small jar with a tight lid and then shake this together until it is well blended. Following that, you must stir it into the boiling liquid gradually and cook this until it is thick and clear. Keep on stirring this. Finally, you must taste and add the salt and the pepper, if desired. Then, you stir in the spiced cranberry and heat this well. Serve this as gravy. Enjoy eating!

Chicken Crock Pot Recipes

Chicken Crock Pot Recipes

The crock pot is used for cooking meat for a long period of time. The crock pot boils at a very low temperature. This way the actual cooking last longer. But doesn’t require supervision as there is no risk of over-cook.

The best meat to use for these recipes is the chicken. The chicken meat is healthy and cooks great in the crock pot. The chicken is fat free so the cooking is slow and perfect. The chicken recipes take about 5 hours to cook.

Here is one of the best recipes for chicken. The recipe is an All Day Chicken.

What you need for this chicken crock pot recipe: orange juice, chicken stock, tomato paste, salt, pepper, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, oil, ginger, milk, water and the actual chicken.

First step when preparing a recipe to mix together the marinade ingredients. This has to be done the night before the actual cooking takes place. You have to mix all the ingredients together with the chicken in a large container. Then you must close the the container as well as you can. And the put it in the refrigerator.

In the morning all you have to do is pour the entire mix from the container into the crock pot. Let it boil slowly for 6-8 hours. After that turn the fire to high. And after one more hour the chicken is ready to be eaten.

This is the beauty of the chicken crock pot dishes. They are extra delicious and don’t require too much effort on your side. It’s true that a recipe does require a lot of time. In this case requires a whole night and day, but it’s time in which you don’t have to supervise the crock pot. Such recipe will surely impress your guests and it’s great because you can spend your time cleaning or cooking other dishes. As the meat cooks by itself even if you do not give attention to it.

Features and Benefits
All-Clad pans with a stainless interior cooking surface are oven-safe up to 500 degrees. All-Clad pans with a non-stick cooking surface are oven-safe up to 400 degrees, but should not be used under the broiler. We recommend using a low to medium temperature when cooking with All-Clad. Higher heats are not necessary and may cause discoloration (see cleaning instructions below). Other features include:

  • Beautifully polished, stainless exterior layer.
  • Pure aluminum core that not only covers the bottom of the pan but also extends up the sides. This allows for great heat conductivity as well as an even heat distribution so you won’t have “hot spots” when cooking.
  • Stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface.
  • Long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles.
  • Sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets won’t react with foods.

Warranty
From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.

Cleaning Instructions
For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. Clean your All-Clad thoroughly after each use. Food films left of the pan may cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, we recommend cleaning your All-Clad with a product called Bar Keeper’s Friend. To use the Bar Keeper’s Friend, simply use a soft cloth or sponge and water and make into a soupy paste. This can be used on the interior, as well as the exterior of your All-Clad (excluding the Cop-R-Chef). The Bar Keeper’s Friend can also be used on the exterior of the All-Clad Stainless collection, LTD collection, and MC2 collection. For cleaning of the Cop-R-Chef exterior, simply use a brass/copper cleaner. If your water has a high iron content, you may notice a rusty discoloration. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend to remove it.

Lentils are also a good source of iron, dietary fibers, folate and vitamin B1, making them one of the underrated healthiest food.

How to Raise Chicken Successfully

How to Raise Chicken Successfully

Chicken rearing is an undertaking riddled with all manner of challenges. Chicken farmers have to contend with keeping a close eye on their stock lest they risk losing their entire chicken stock. Some of the risks chicken farmers have to deal with include disease outbreaks and predators. Before getting into chicken farming it would be a great boost if you were to learn how to raise chicken successfully first, from those who have done it.

Knowledge Is Everything

The first thing that anyone, looking to succeed in raising chickens should do is to get as much information on chickens as possible. Getting the knowledge is not enough; a chicken farmer has to keep up to speed with the latest developments related to chickens. What diseases do you need to vaccinate your chickens from? What are the latest drugs for fighting these diseases? Any one seeking success in chicken farming needs to have answers to these questions at their finger tips. By keeping current, you will stand a better chance of protecting your birds from outbreaks. Case in point, the bird flu disease outbreak, which wrecked havoc to chicken farmers around the world.

Breed Selection

Knowing which breed to rear where is key to success. Certain breeds will only survive and flourish in certain geographic locations. Hybrid chickens are more tolerant to a wide range of climatic conditions and diseases, and therefore are able to survive in many areas. Pure breeds are not so tolerant and their productivity is dependent on their environmental conditions.

Chicken Husbandry

Chickens should be treated like any other domesticated animal. Proper care should be provided. The care should include providing the chickens with adequate, secure and clean living quarters. The chicken house / chicken coop, should be thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with a suitable disinfectant frequently. The chickens should be fed a balanced diet and provided with other supplements, like calcium for layers, to ensure they remain healthy and strong.

Proper Housing

The chicken house should do more than just provide shelter for the birds. The house should have roosting areas for the birds to relax. In addition the house should be well ventilated and aerated.

The feeding and watering points should be kept clean and free from any dirt / droppings. For the layers, nesting boxes should be provided for the egg laying purposes. This will make it easier to collect the eggs from the houses.

Disease Free

If you are able to keep your chickens disease free and healthy, then you definitely know how to raise chickens successfully. Chickens are delicate creatures and easily succumb to diseases such as coccidiosis or botulism. Preventing these diseases is always better than having to cure them. Understanding how to identify the diseases early symptoms is something every successful chicken farmer should learn. This could make all the difference, as chicken diseases are highly contagious. If sick birds are not isolated from the rest, the entire flock could contract the disease within a very short period of time.

Low Calorie Chicken Casserole Recipe

Low Calorie Chicken Casserole Recipe

 Casserole recipes are recipes that are usually referred to a one-dish meal that basically contain cooked meats, fish, poultry, eggs and vegetables and bound with soup or sauce. They are actually cooked using the casserole dish thus where the name came from. This cooking method became very popular especially among the Americans during the 1950′s thereon when the dish was first introduced to the consumers from a simple light-weight metal. Now it has evolved into different materials such as glass, enamel, and stoneware to name a few. With this development, recipes of so many variations came up for everyone’s satisfaction.

Varieties of low calorie recipes were introduced depending on every persons requirement. The usual low calorie intake per day consists of 1500 to 1800 kcal. Normally, calorie intake varies, 1940 kcal for women and 2550 kcal for men. These calories are then burned into energy and the excess intake become fat. There are considerable factors that affects the daily calorie needs of a person. These are age, weight, height, the composition of the body and the daily activity. Low- calorie diet should always be upon the doctor’s recommendation. Regular food are usually eliminated and a meal replacement is recommended. This is why there are recipes now that are low in calories but are regular sight in our dining table especially for health conscious family. One casserole recipe that I usually prepare for my family is the low- calorie Chicken Casserole, Filipino way.

Chicken Soup Recipe – Making Your Own

Chicken Soup Recipe – Making Your Own

This article is not so much about my own Chicken Soup Recipe, but more about how you can develop your own unique version. I think everyone who likes to cook chicken should be able to make a good soup with it. It’s a great way to use up leftovers, and an even better way to make sure you get enough vegetables in your diet.

While there are countless variations of techniques and ingredients in chicken soup, there is one constant that no one can do without: a good stock or broth. Without this your soup will have a watery taste, and that is no fun to eat. Also, a tasty broth is more likely to be healthier for you, since where there is flavor there is usually also nutrients. A good stock typically contains some gelatin, which comes from dissolved collagen from bones and connective tissue. Gelatin is great for carrying both flavor and nutrients because it can interact with organic molecules better than water can.

So does that mean you have to make your own chicken stock in order to have a good chicken soup recipe? Not necessarily, as there are many good chicken stocks available at grocery stores. I prefer the kind you get in boxes, but the canned stuff is usually good too. I’ll use the powdered or cubed stuff in a pinch, but I find they have too much salt and other flavor enhancers for my liking. I’m also not sure how much gelatin they contain, if any.

However, if you do prefer to make your own stock, there are many excellent Web sites available that give instructions. Basically all you have to do is simmer chicken bones along with some onions, carrots and celery for an hour or two. Regardless of how you make it, there is one piece of advice I can give you that will always work: after the stock is made, remove the solid ingredients, and boil off some of the water to reduce the amount to half. Concentrating the stock will intensify the flavor, making everything you use it in that much more flavorful.

After the stock, your next choice is which vegetables to use. I’ve already mentioned the classic onion, carrot and celery mix, but there are so many other choices available. From time to time I enjoy some chopped spinach in my chicken soup, or any other leafy green I happen to have on hand. Frozen peas are another great option, but remember to add them about 5 minutes before the soup is done cooking, unless you prefer your peas mushy. Tomatoes are another great vegetable to use in chicken soup, and they have the added benefit of bolstering a weak-tasting stock. You can also use “substitute” vegetables to replace some of the classics: fennel in place of celery, leeks or shallots for the onions, parsnips for carrots, etc. And let’s not forget about all the peppers out there, both hot and mild!

When it comes to vegetables, I usually just add whatever I have in my refrigerator. Any leftovers or veggies that are about to expire become candidates. I usually avoid root vegetables as they take longer to cook through, but if they are already cooked then they are fair game too. If not, then just chop them up into small pieces so they cook more quickly.

Next in the list of ingredients to select is the type of starch to add. There are so many to choose from that there is no way I could list them all, but one thing to think of is how much the starch you choose will thicken the broth. This will depend on how quickly it dissolves into the broth and how long you will be cooking it for. Most people don’t want to thicken their chicken soup too much, so pasta is the usual choice for most people. If there is one variant of chicken soup that is more famous than all the others, it would definitely be chicken noodle soup.

But noodles are far from being the only choice. Brown rice is my go-to starch for chicken soup. Like barley, it will thicken a broth given time, but it normally takes more than an hour for that to happen. I like how it swells in the liquid of the soup, and how it adds just a touch of viscosity to it. It helps the flavor of the soup cling to the tongue for just a little bit, enhancing the taste experience.

Lentils are a very healthy starch to use, and there are a lot of varieties to choose from. Red lentils will practically dissolve into the soup, while the little green gems known as Puy lentils will keep their shape almost forever. At the other end of the spectrum are potatoes, which given enough time will thicken a soup enough to stand your spoon in it.

If you want to go for big-time comfort food, then dumplings should be your selection. Personally I have never made dumplings, but I know some people that swear by it.

Lastly, you need to decide what spices and herbs to go for. Chicken has such a neutral flavor that you should pay more attention to matching your spices to your vegetables you used. The basic spices that are considered “classic” would be parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme…just as in the song. These work very well when you use the classic veggies. But when you use other vegetables, then there are some really good combinations available. For instance, if you used tomatoes then you would be making a mistake to leave out the basil. Spinach and marjoram work very well together, while tarragon and fennel make a good pair.

But don’t think just about spice and herbs. If you want a really refreshing flavor, add a bit of lemon juice. Don’t forget about the garlic either, as it works with almost all other ingredients. And lastly, don’t be afraid to add a bit of spice. You don’t need to add so much that it burns the palate; just a little will heighten all the other flavors.

Of course, I’d be remiss if I left chicken itself out of the discussion. Any cooked or raw chicken will do, but you’ll find that white meat is the best in soups. Dark meat, while tastier, has a much higher fat content and tends to make a soup feel greasy. White meat for soups and pastas, dark meat for everything else is the rule that I go by.

I hope you aren’t disappointed that there wasn’t a recipe that you could follow to the letter in this article. The truth is I don’t usually cook that way anymore. I found I made much better meals once I understood the basics of whatever meal I was making I could improvise and make improvements and substitutions based on my tastes, who I was cooking for, and what I had in stock.

Yummy Chicken Noodle Soup

Yummy Chicken Noodle Soup

If there is one thing that can make you feel better when you are under the weather, that thing would be chicken noodle soup. Though there are said to be some benefits to eating this when you are sick, it may be more about the comfort factor than anything else. Most people associate the soup with the comfort of mom taking care of them when they were younger. Chicken soup is not just for the times when you don’t feel well though, as it can be a filling and healthy meal on any day of the week. You don’t have to buy it out of a can either, as you can make some yummy soup all on your own.

You can find chicken noodle soup that will satisfy just about anyone, even those that normally do not like to eat much soup. You can get soup that has very little meat and a heavy broth, or you can get something with large chunks of whole white chicken and large noodles with a savory broth. You can add many things to your soup or you can keep it clean and simple. Think about what you like, get out the crock pot, and try to come up with your own soup. You may find that soup from the can will never cut it again.

Start with chicken broth or stock. This is something you can buy through any grocer. You will find it in the soup aisle, though you should see if you can by the brands that come in box containers rather than from a can, as it usually tastes better. Try a brand that has the lowest sodium count. This stock is the basis for a good, homemade chicken noodle soup. Some people then like to add carrot, celery, and onion to that stock to let it add flavor and texture to the recipe of their choice.

You can then decide what type of noodle and how much or what type of chicken you want to add to your new recipe. Some like chicken noodle soup with large chunks of white breast meat, and some like to have both the white and the dark meat in their soups. You can buy precooked chunks of white breast from the store, some seasoned and some not, or you can buy a rotisserie chicken and use whatever meat from that bird you want to. All you have to do is remove, cut up, and then add to your crock pot.

If you are not sure you are going to be good at coming up with your own chicken noodle soup recipe, don’t worry, help is out there. There are many great cookbooks that you can buy containing the recipes that you need to make your own soup with chicken, or any other type of soup for that matter. Once you find that you can make some great soup in your own home, you may never want to buy soup from a can again. Not only will it taste better, it will also be fresher and may even be healthier for you to boot.

Grandma’s Homemade Chicken Soup

Grandma’s Homemade Chicken Soup

There is nothing quite like a hot, soothing bowl of homemade chicken soup, especially when your sick or when the weather starts getting cold. I am sure many of us have fond memories of Mom or Grandma fixing up a hot bowl of chicken soup when we were younger. Remember how comforting it was and how good it made you feel? I sure do and I look forward to making chicken soup at least once a month during the cold days of winter. I am going to share with you one of the most delicious recipes for chicken soup, passed down to me from my Grandmother. It is quite easy to make and I promise you will enjoy this again and again…

I rarely follow exact measurements while cooking, so the ingredients below are approximated. Please forgive me in advance..

INGREDIENTS

2 Large Chicken Breasts on the Bone, Skin on

3 Large Celery Stalks Sliced (Reserve Leaves)

3 Large Carrots Sliced

1 Medium Onion Chopped

3 Cloves of Garlic Crushed

2 Medium Russet Potatoes Cubed

1 Cup of Small Pasta for Soup (Orzo, Ditalini)

Water

Chicken Stock

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Grated Italian Cheese (Optional)

Bouquet garni of Thyme, Sage and Rosemary (Instructions Below)

DIRECTIONS

Step 1 – Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the chicken breasts skin side down and brown.

Step 2 – Add water and chicken stock to the pot. Add a 50/50 mixture of water and chicken stock. The chicken stock gives the soup a boost in flavor. Add enough liquid so that the chicken is completely submerged, plus a little more.

Step 3 – Add celery leaves, garlic and Bouquet Garni (instructions follow). Bring liquid to a boil, then cover and simmer. Cook chicken on a low simmer until you can easily pull the chicken off the bone. One chicken is done, remove it from the pot and place it on a large plate. Remove the garlic and bouquet from pot and discard.

Bouquet Garni Instructions/Description

A bouquet Garni is just a fancy French name for a bundle of herbs that can be added to stocks, soups and stews. When translated to English it means: “garnished bouquet”. It is very easy to make. You can either tie the bundle together using strings or you can wrap it in cheesecloth. I like to use the cheesecloth as it keeps the herbs contained so that they do not fall off and become part of the soup. If you don’t mind the herbs in the final soup, you can wrap it with string. This bundle of herbs will impart a deliciously rich flavor to the broth.

Step 4 – Add the onion, potatoes, celery and carrots to the pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5 – Add your pasta and cook along with vegetables until pasta is al dente.

Step 6 – While the pasta is cooking, pull chicken from the bone and shred into bite size pieces. Add the chicken to the pot and stir.

Step 7 – Serve. Top with grated cheese if desired. Enjoy!

Chicken Rotisserie Recipes

Chicken Rotisserie Recipes

One thing that every mom on the go should know about is how to make some interesting chicken rotisserie recipes by picking up such a chicken or two from the store to turn into a full on tasty and healthy dinner. There is so much that you can do with this chicken that you may find you use a new idea each week and your family will never know about your short cut secret – unless they paw through the trash, of course.

One thing that you can use rotisserie chicken for is to make your own chicken noodle soup. There are many great recipes out there, and all you need to get is the chicken that you need from one rotisserie chicken. All you have to do is buy it, cut the breast off the chicken, cut it up into cubes, and put it into your soup. You can use the dark meat if you wish, though most prefer to use the breast so that they have a low fat and delicious soup. This is one of the easiest chicken rotisserie recipes you can do on your own. Leave it in the crock pot all day and come home to an amazing dinner your family will love.

Another of the great chicken rotisserie recipes that you can do is homemade chicken and biscuits. You can find your favorite biscuit recipe, which is often very simple to make and bake, and then work on your chicken and your gravy. You should start out with chicken stock and a thickening agent like flour or cornstarch. You can then pick apart the chicken using the meat that you want to use and throwing the rest away or you can save it for something else if you wish. Remove the skin and take out excess fat you may find in the bird. The chicken is already cooked for you, and is seasoned beautifully also.

There are just as many other chicken rotisserie recipes that you can try. You can use a rotisserie chicken in just about any recipe that calls for chicken that you can find to make for your family. There are casseroles and other meals that you can bake in the oven, or perhaps you would like to try your hand at making homemade chicken pot pies. Whatever you can cook with chicken you can cook with a juicy, rotisserie that you can pick up anywhere you shop, or almost anywhere.

Don’t forget that chicken rotisserie recipes can simply include the chicken as it comes from the store. You may have to get two of them to feed your family, but they are often cheap enough that this is not a huge problem. You can cut them up and serve the parts with mashed potatoes, a vegetable, or any other side you want to serve to your family. There are different rubs used for these chickens, so you can offer a different taste so it won’t feel like a repeat if you do it once a week.

Grilled chicken ingredients are 4 chicken breast fillets, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon grated orange rind, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce.

To prepare the chicken place chicken fillets, garlic, rind, juice and sauce in a bowl and cover. Refrigerate for about 1 hour. Cook chicken on a heated and lightly oiled grill pan for about 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remember not all fillets are the same thickness so adjust cooking time accordingly. I usually cover with a little foil when cooked whilst I prepare the couscous and broccoli.

Couscous ingredients are 1 cup chicken stock, 1 cup couscous, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon grated orange rind, one quarter cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 1 orange cut into bite sized pieces, one quarter cup chopped fresh chives. Salt and pepper to taste and optional is about one quarter cup unsalted peanuts.

To prepare couscous, bring the chicken stock to the boil, remove from heat and add the couscous. Stir through then cover and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Using a fork, fluff the couscous and add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.

We hope you enjoy this recipe but remember you can still over indulge with healthy food. So ask yourself how much should your portion be. Are you eating to live or living to eat. When you start eating do not set out to eat until you are full. Instead eat as much as your body needs. Eat slowly and savor the flavour. Eat sitting down with family or friends and turn that television off. There is nothing like good company or listening to some great music.

Cheers to a happy and healthy you.

A generous 34 quart size is great for seafood boils, and serving large groups. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won’t burn and resists staining. It’s also non -porous so it won’t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time. This makes an ideal material for large pots as the glass-like surface is inert and does not interact with or alter the taste of food. The steel core is an excellent heat conductor, requiring less time and energy. No PFOA’s or any other chemicals are used that may affect food taste, color or healthfulness. When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.
