Different chicken recipes?

Question

I want to make my boyfriend a really good chicken dinner. The thing is he is really really picky about what he eats. I'm not a great cook and the only chicken meal I can make is chicken and rice. Not a big deal and he doesn't want to eat that all of the time. Any simple yet good ideas? And please tell me how to cook it because I don't usually cook and have no idea what to do and for how long. thanks!

Answer 1

get some chicken breasts boneless and skinless..and put them into a plastic bag. get a big pot or frying pan and pound the meat until its flat or about the same size

next get some swiss cheese or provalone and place it on the flattened chicken breast. Take 2 pieces of canadian bacon or really good ham and put it on top of the cheese. Take one end of the chicken and start to roll it like you would a cigar. get two or more toothpicks and close the chicken breast into a bundle. do the same with the other chicken breast.

Next mix one egg salt and some pepper in a bowl like you would scramble an egg. Get some bread crumbs can be italian seasoned or regular bread crumbs and put those on a plate.

Dip the raw rolled up chicken into the egg mixture then into the bread crumb mixture and place on a greased (either sprayed with pam or oil )baking sheet do the same to the other chicken breast.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 20-25 min..the chicken is done when you cut into it and the juices coming out are clear.

good luck and enjoy the meal.

Answer 6

Tandoori-style chicken

Ingredients
1.25kg/2½lb chicken pieces (legs and/or breasts) skinned
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp lemon juice
For the marinade:
450ml/¾pt plain yoghurt
½ onion, coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
2.5cm/1in piece fresh root ginger, chopped
1-2 hot green chillies, roughly sliced
2 tsp garam masala
lime or lemon wedges, to serve



Method
1. Cut each chicken leg into two pieces and each breast into four pieces. Make two deep slits crossways on the meaty parts of each leg and breast piece. The slits should not start at an edge and should be deep enough to reach the bone. Spread the chicken pieces out on two large platters. Sprinkle one side with half the salt and half the lemon juice and rub them in. Turn the pieces over and repeat on the second side. Set aside for 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, make the marinade: combine the yoghurt, onion, garlic, ginger, chillies and garam masala in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the paste through a coarse sieve into a large bowl, pushing through as much liquid as you can.
3. Put the chicken and all its accumulated juices into the bowl with the marinade. Rub the marinade into the slits in the meat, then cover and refrigerate for 8-24 hours. Preheat the oven to its maximum temperature and set a shelf in the top third of the oven where it is hottest. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and spread them out in a single layer on a large, shallow, baking tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through. Lift the chicken pieces out of their juices and serve with lemon or lime wedges.
