Chicken Stir Fry
I know. I toyed with not posting it because it’s appeared so many times before but that’s not what Dinner Diary is all about. So, apologetically, I give you chicken stir-fry.
It contained all the usual ingredients and was cooked in pretty much the same way we usually cook it. We hereby promise [...]
Roast Chicken
Tonight we were planning to have a beef stir fry, but we ended up eating the steak last night. We had a chicken which we were going to joint and then use the breasts for the stir fry (and keep the legs for later), but as Ginger was home a bit early today she [...]
Read More..>>Chicken Fajitas in Pitas for Lunch
We’d planned on having chicken salad for lunch but after a visit to the gym we both felt like something more substantial was required. Luckily, we had all the ingredients for chicken fajitas and guacamole. Filling, tasty and hot. Just what we need before we embark on an afternoon of spring (well, [...]
Read More..>>Peppers Cashew nuts with Chicken
This is another recipe from the mysterious Thai Traditional Cooking: The Mother’s Recipes by Maria Kanigman Saunders that we used last week to make the beef stir-fry.
Once again, the recipe was easy to follow and quick. I spent a few minutes chopping up the ingredients and Fred cooked it when he got home. [...]
Chicken with Butter Beans and Chorizo
We’d planned to have this for lunch yesterday but changed our plans as the weather was so good. The chicken needed to be used up though so we cooked it anyway and just re-heated it this evening. It was really tasty and very easy to cook, it could easily be done after work…as [...]
Read More..>>Coq au Vin
This is something I thought we ate fairly often but looking back through the archives, it seems we haven’t eaten it at all since we started blogging. We’re definitely in Autumn now so this seemed like the perfect Sunday afternoon dish.
Previously, I think we’ve always used the Delia version but today we made it [...]
Thai Monday - Green Curry with Chicken
We last had this only two weeks ago but since we’d made double the paste we needed to use it up today so it didn’t go to waste. As it was, we think the paste had lost something from sitting in the fridge as it wasn’t quite as zingy as normal. It was [...]
Read More..>>Thai Green Curry
We haven’t had this for ages so while shopping on Saturday, we stopped off at our local Thai supermarket and picked up the ingredients we needed to make the paste. Fred made up the paste yesterday and I cooked the actual curry when I got home tonight.
It was good but not as good as [...]
Indian Cooking - Methi Chicken, Sag Aloo and Naan Bread
Somehow we have never cooked any Indian dishes together before, but a friend had given us some methi leaves so this was a perfect opportunity to start with methi chicken. We followed this recipe, making our own garam masala rather than buying it ready made and soon the warming aroma of roasted spice was [...]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken (and Chicken Stock)
As you know, this is a firm favourite in our house and after our first week of healthy eating we were both looking forward to it. Aside from over-cooking the roast potatoes, it lived up to our expectations and we both left the table feeling full and content.
With the leftover carcass we made chicken [...]
