People continuously ask me for recipes of the food that I make, but I don't use recipes, I make up my own stuff. I'm using this blog as a way to jot down what I cook so that other people can use MY personal recipes!
Most of these recipes are cooked for two people, so you may notice I don't jot down serving sizes! Sometimes there are extras...just freeze it for next week...and it will still taste just as delicious!
CHICKEN TIPS (or chunks...?)
A lot of my recipes involve chicken. A lot of people have trouble cooking chicken in a skillet. Here are my secrets, some common sense...but you never know!
I thaw the chicken JUST enough to be able to put a knife through it. I then chop it up into bite sized chunks. ALWAYS spray the skillet before you cook the chicken!! (even if its non stick) Start off heating the skillet on HIGH, then add the chicken and turn it to medium to cook it. This slowly cooked the chicken. Constantly shake the skillet (if you got skillz like me!) or move it around with some rubber tipped tongs. Stick your cooking tool into a piece of your chicken to make sure its well done. Towards the end of the cooking I like to turn the heat on HIGH and brown the outside of the chicken a little bit.
FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW - NEVER USE METAL TONGS, FORK, OR SPATULA ON A NON STICK SKILLET.
If you are marinating chicken, don't dump the marinade in the skillet WITH the chicken because it will burn and stick to the pan...then you have burnt tasting chicken. I find it best to fish the chicken OUT of the marinade. Towards the end of cooking the chicken at the point where I'd put it on HIGH heat, I like to add a little extra marinade!
Enjoy your NOMZ!
