Jac cooked this dinner recently – a stir-fry with chicken, spring onion, garlic, green beans and fresh red chilli, served on rice. The chicken thigh pieces were juicy and springy to bite, just how I love chicken to be. The beans were lovely and crisp. The chilli came from our garden, and it was hot! […]
Dinner For dinner, Jac baked chicken pieces in the oven, marinated with slatherings of Thai red curry paste – she just wanted to use up what was left in the jar of curry paste. She served the chicken with rice and salad. The chicken was juicy and very tasty. Usually when we cook with red […]
Jac picked up a BBQ chicken from the supermarket and served it up with salad for dinner. Here’s my plate, with a chicken thigh and drumstick, skin on (of course!). Jac chopped up some iceberg lettuce, cucumber and tomato. I cracked black pepper onto my tomato. :D She also made a quick potato and pea […]
A tasty dinner Jac cooked – panfried chicken thigh fillet pieces, seasoned with Alseason, served with pasta salad (penne, green beans, corn, semi-dried tomatoes, spring onion tossed with a little light olive oil and a cracking of fresh salt and black pepper) and two pieces of bread (well, one slice of bread, crusts off, cut […]
A quick dinner at Nando’s! Jac ordered the BBQ chicken thigh pieces with a small garden salad. The salad, as always, came with two dressings – the traditional balsamic vinaigrette and the creamy trio of roasted bell peppers. Jac used the vinaigrette. I decided to try the new “Portugese paella”. You get grilled chicken breast…
Lunch – barbecue chicken and coleslaw from the supermarket. The chicken with salty skin, meat falling off the bones, finger-sucking good. Dinner – Indomie mi goreng, the original flavour. We had some chicken left over from lunch. I took the meat off the bones, zapped it in the microwave, then served it with the noodles […]
DinnerJac sliced up chicken thigh fillets and marinated them with salt and pepper. She then coated the chicken in “Kentucky” seasoning – we buy this in a box from the asian supermarket (see this photo of “Kentucky” seasoning). She fried the chicken until it was crispy on the outside and poppingly juicy on the inside. […
DinnerJac cooked a chicken and vegetable stir-fry, flavoured with garlic and ginger. She served it in a big bowl on freshly cooked rice. It was delicious, with carrots, beans, onions and champignons, tender pieces of chicken thigh meat and gingery gravy soaked into the rice. Jac doesn’t really like ginger, but she cooks dishes like […]
Whether the day is boring, stressful or surprisingly good, fried chicken and rice makes it better. And funnily enough, a few weeks later, fried chicken did its magic again… though it looks like they skimped on the rice.
“How about chicken stew for dinner?” Jac asked me. “Yes please!” I replied. “Chicken stew for dinner ANY TIME!” She served the stew in a big bowl over rice. I took my first mouthful. YUM! “Mmmmm! How did you cook this rice?” I asked. “I used half water, half chicken stew juice,” she said, …
