Debbie - How do you make your curried chicken? Always looking for new ideas:)

i dont really follow a recipe for this one but i'm going to try and type a recipe for it.

2 servings

2 tsp oil
salt
pepper
1 herbox low sodium chicken bouillon
1 tsp garlic powder
dash oregano (skip if you dont like oregano)
handfull chopped onions, about 1/2 a medium onion
2 tsp garlic minced or chopped
1 1/2 tbls each curry powder & garam masala (you can use less if you're not a huge curry fan)
1lb chopped chicken breast (or whatever your plan allows)
about 1 1/2 cups water
2 tomatoes chopped (you can skip tomatoes if you want)

Chop chicken and season with salt & pepper (to taste, you can add more after chicken is cooked if needed), 1 herbox low sodium chicken bouillon, 1 tsp garlic powder (skip this if 2tsp minced garlic is enough for you) & dash of oregano.

Heat oil on med high heat, add onion & garlic. Sautee for about 30secs then add curry powder & garam masala. Stir together and cook for another 30secs. Add seasoned chicken & stir to combine, add water (add enough water to boil chicken which would be right before chicken is covered and if you want to add more for extra broth you can).

Cook chicken for about 15mins or until cook thru (at this point if there is too much broth for you still left in the pot you can cook a bit longer to let the water evaporate) and then add tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the tomatoes are how you would want them and its done.

serve over rice.

I count this as 1P, 1V & 1S. Since i add carrots to my rice i get in another V.

Ok i hope all that makes sense :dizzy:. Let me know if you need anything else :).

Cheese enchiladas, spanish rice, refried beans with cheese, SOMEONE HELP ME! :jeno:
My husband made mexican and is eating it in front of me! I sat and ate my salad pouting. I'll show him! He will be so jealous when I drink my LF SF hot lemon water! MMMM good!

Haha, how did that did jealously plan work out for Tuesday?

I made chicken marsala from the recipe threads the other night. It was soooo good. My DH and kids ate it up as fast as they could go. I will try to find it and post the recipe.

Chicken Marsala
1 P, 2 V

6 oz or 8 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1 C fresh mushrooms
5 green onions sliced
2 T water
1/8 t Morton lite salt
1/4 C dry Marsala or cooking sherry

With meat mallet, pound chicken to 1/4 inch thickness.

spray skillet with Pam. Preheat over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until tender and no longer pink. Remove chicken and keep warm.

Add mushrooms, green onion, water, and salt to skillet. Cook until mushrooms are tender and most of the liuid has evaporated. Add Marsala or cooking sherry to skillet. Heat through.

Serve chicken topped with vegetables.

****I served the veggies and saucey stuff over angel hair pasta, and added a big bowl of steamed italian veggies.

That sounds awesome and easy, Katie. Thanks for posting it here. I think I'm out of Sherry, but am adding marsala to my grocery list!

tonight we had hamburger helper...homemade of course. Ground turkey with a mushroom & onion sauce and pasta. It was soo good.

I made Kristen's Cheesey Beef and Broccoli from the recipe threads. It was awesome. I served it with brown rice and a tomato cucumber salad. Really good.

How do you make that?
 

How do you make the Italian chicken breast in the crock pot?

I tried a recipe from Quick Fix Meals w/ Robin Miller on Food Network

Personal Penne Primavera

1 pound penne pasta (I used half a box of whole wheat pasta)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped red onion
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced (I used 5)
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cooked chicken breast halves, diced (about 2 cups)
1 cup diced roasted red peppers (from a jar)
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes (low salt)
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup freshly chopped basil leaves

Cook penne according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook 3 minutes, until soft. Add broccoli, carrots and mushrooms and cook 3 minutes, until mushrooms soften. Add chicken, red peppers, tomatoes, and broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in penne and peas cook 2 minutes to heat through and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Transfer mixture to a serving plate and top with Parmesan and basil.


*I used frozen veggies- broccoli, califlower and carrots. I nixed the peas and mushrooms. I cooked the chicken at 400 for 30 minutes (sprinkled salt/papper and olive oil first)

This was WAY better than I thought it would be! The extra garlic gave it a nice kick. I counted 1/6 of recipe as 2S, 3V, 1/2P C Fa- I added more chicken to my serving to give me a full P.

Tonight its orzo with roasted cherry tomatoes and grilled chicken. Yum! I think i may even throw in some onions with the tomatoes to roast so i'll get in another veggie.

Dang Debbie, I want to eat at your house.

Katie i can make extra, when you coming by?

Italian Chicken -

Pretty simple actually, mind you I literally tend to toss things in too so feel free to add or take away from this too!!

6 boneless chicken breasts
1-2 cans stewed tomatoes (I use the garlic and olive oil ones)
1 small can tomato paste
2 cups water
spices to taste (garlic, italian spices like oregano etc, pepper, no salt as there is salt in the paste, chili powder if you like it)
mushrooms quartered or sliced thick
green peppers chopped

Toss it all in and cook for the day. I liked it. It made lots and people at work wanted to know what I was eating after I heated it up and brought it back to my desk.

Hope that helps!!

Tonight I had baked garlic dill salmon and steamed broccoli. If anyone reads the friends thread - yes I also had salmon for lunch when I went out today - BUT I can eat seafood every day of the week so this isn't unusual for me!!
