Dec 5

Here’s a very very yummy chicken pie i improvised after reading several recipes (from here and here .
Overall, it was fairly easy to cook, and I must say it came out pretty damn good, and was OK even reheated the next day. Everyone enjoyed it, and I will definitely make it again and again. Though now i wonder about a kidney pie…

marinated grilled chicken

This is a more or less original recipe, though it draws its basic inspiration from something a friend once showed me in the States. The original recipe involved Italian dressing, which is quite available over there, and not that pricey. Not the case here. Therefore, when Knorr came out with their salad dressing powders, I decided to improvise a bit and see what happens. It couldn’t turn out bad after all. However, i guess any sort of italian/herb type dressing would work, be it powder or already made.

Now, we all know chicken, and that it basically lacks any sort of taste, especially the breast.  Putting spices on it before cooking might help, but they won’t really get into the meat, and on the inside it’s still gonna..well…taste like chicken…. However, it is a healthy meat, and it is summer time. We all know grilling is fun and easy, whether you do it outdoors with charcoal (great flavour), or with an electric grill like I have to.

Marinating is one way to make that chicken explode with flavours, and make the meat even more tender to boot. The only downfall is that it takes time. If you like waking up, and randomly deciding you are going to grill some stuff today, then marinating isn’t for you. The preparation time is about 10 minutes, but it needs to spend the night in a soft and comfy fridge to achieve any result. Read the rest of this entry
