Ok #movingonπ
Food glorious food my 2nd or 3rd best Favourite past time depending on how you look at it. I manage to maintain a fairly healthy lifestyle even when I fall of the wagon. In these instances which happen quite a bit I must confess I eat more of my Favourite pleasures cake than I do food and what makes it worse is that I don't make them a myself.
Today I tell you about 2 chicken based meals. I buy and eat quite a bit of chicken and I love love love love it because it's pretty quick to cook.
3 pieces boneless chicken breasts
I large red onion
4-6 cloves garlic
About an inch of fresh ginger
2-3 red scotch bonnets/ata rodo
Zest of half a lemon
Juice of half a lemon
1-2 tablespoons of honey
Sea salt
I has some boneless chicken breast which I marinaded/marinated in onions, ginger, garlic, red scotch bonnet/ata rodo peppers, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey and sea salt. Left that in the fridge for about 24hrs(i was actually going to cook immediately but time grew wings and flew so I left it till the next day)
I put a pan on the gas and let it heat up until it was smoking then I added a bit of butter and coconut oil, placed my chicken breast which i'd sliced thinly and allowed to sautΓ© in its on juices first on high heat for a couple minutes and then I turned down the heat and poured in all the juices and chopped marinated garnishes and allowed to cook for a further 5-7minutes. I turned them a couple times to allow for even cooking through. Voila first meal ready and I ate this with a few slices of a multi cereal bread I came across. Yum yum yum
5-6 pieces chicken drumsticks
A large handful of ugwu leaves
1/2-1cup local ofada rice
I large red onion
4-6 cloves of garlic
2-3 red scotch bonnet/ata rodo
About an inch of fresh ginger
Pink Himalayan salt
A splash of water to get the chicken going
My 2nd chicken dish had all of 3 major ingredients and was my fastest way of cooking π one potππ.
Local ofada rice, fresh UGWU leaves from my mums garden and chicken drumsticks.
I boiled the drumsticks in their own juices with onions, garlic, ginger, pink Himalayan salt and red scotch bonnet. Once this was almost done, I had washed my rice and washed and chopped my ugwu leaves and I just added water to the pot of almost done chicken, poured in the rice and left to cook for 15minutes after which I added the ugwu stirred with a wooden spoon turned off the gas, covered the pot and 5minutes later lunch was ready.
