BEGGAR'S CHICKEN
================
Back in the old day's the Oriental people used to wrap the chook in
lotus leaves, then in clay, then throw it into a hot fire to cook. Be
sure to have a hammer ready so you can eat the sucker!!!
Ingredients:
------------
1.5kg (3lb) chook
3 shallots
2.5cm (1") piece green ginger (the fresh stuff)
1 tsp sugar
3 tblsp soy sauce
2 tblsp dry sherry
1 tblsp water
1/4 tsp five spice powder
2 tblsp soy sauce, extra
2 tblsp oil
extra oil
Clay Dough:
-----------
1kg (2lbs) cooking salt
4 cups plain flour
1 1/2 cups water (more or less)
Put flour and salt in a bowl, mix well, gradually add water, mixing to a
firm dough. Use your hands to mix. More water may be needed, don't
have dough too soft, it will be too hard to handle.
Place two very large sheets of aluminium foil on a flat surface, brush
top sheet well with extra oil. Wack the chook onto the foil. In a bowl
put roughly chopped shallots, sugar, peeled and sliced ginger, soy
sauce, sherry, water and five spice powder; mix well. Rub the chook all
over with extra soy sauce, then rub with the 2 tablesps of oil, rub well
into the skin. Pull skin at neck end down under the chook and tuck the
wing tips under as well to hold the neck skin in place. Carefully (the
chook will feel like a greased pig at this stage!!) pour soy sauce
mixture into the cavity, (hold the chook up a bit so none runs out).
Secure the bum end with a small skewer (be careful it doesn't rip the
foil). Wrap the foil around the chook, securing like a parcel.
Roll out the dough to about 1cm (1/2") thickness so it will completely
cover the chook, fold dough over the bird, press edges together, press
ends together so the chook is completely encased with no holes anywhere.
Place chook into lightly oiled baking dish, wet your fingers and smooth
out all joins, making sure there are no holes in the dough (the steam
will get out otherwise)
Bake in a hot (475-550F / 250-260C) oven for 1 hour. Reduce heat to
moderately slow (325-350F / 160-180C) for a further 3 hours. Remove the
end result from the oven (you don't have to worry about dropping it!!!),
break open the dough with the hammmer and remove from around the chook.
Put foil wrapped chook onto a serving dish, carefully remove foil and
hook in. The meat will just fall off the bones so chop-stick will
probably be in order.
Trust me, this is fantastic (especially when your friends see you carry a
hammer to the dining table!!!!)

BOB'S CHICKEN PESTO
===================
Ingredients:
------------
1 lb. boneless chicken, cubed
1 lb. box multi-colored pasta
3 red peppers
2 tomatoes
3 cloves garlic
broccoli (or vegs of your choosing)
olive oil
pesto
fresh curly parsley
salt and pepper
parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
-------------
Start water for pasta. In skillet, brown garlic over a low heat in a
generous amount of olive oil. Add chicken - cook over medium heat.
When done, set aside covered to keep hot.
While chicken is cooking, cut red peppers into large strips. Put
peppers under broiler; burn skin on each side. Then, remove from
broiler and put peppers into a small sealed plastic (i.e. ziploc) or
paper bag (to steam themselves). Set aside ~10 minutes; after which,
remove skins, cut into cubes and toss with olive oil.
While peppers are steaming in bag:
- Put pasta into boiling water - add salt to taste.
- Steam vegs (don't overcook, they should remain a bit crunchy).
- Cut up tomatoes into cubes.
When pasta is done, rinse under very hot water (don't want it to cool
off). Add chicken with its oil, mix together. Then mix in vegs, cubed
roasted peppers and tomatoes. Next add pesto, herbs and pepper to
taste, mix. Optional: toss with parmesan cheese.
Serve with warm Italian bread.

BSTILA - MOROCCAN CHICKEN/NUT PIE
==================================
Ingredients:
------------
meat of 1/2 chicken (e.g. two boneless breasts)
1/2 lb blanched almonds
1 medium onion
1/2 tsp cinnamon
up to 1/2c sugar or honey
1 tbsp clarified butter
1/3 cup butter
Preparation:
------------
Brown 1/2 lb blanched almonds in a little oil until golden. Chop
coarsely or pound with a mortar and pestle. Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon and
(optionally) honey or sugar to sweeten to taste (anc adds none but cites
recipes calling for up to 1/2c sugar -- I favor a little honey as the
contrast of the sweetness with the savory chicken is part of the exotic
appeal of the dish). Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp clarified butter and 1/3 cup butter in a large heavy pot.
Add 1 minced medium onion and saute for a few minutes. Add chicken meat
equivalent to about 1/2 chicken (e.g. two boneless breasts), cut in
small pieces (as for a pot pie), along with:
1/2 tsp pepper
1 pinch saffron (or, per ongoing thread, 1/2 tsp turmeric)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup minced parsley
1/4 cup minced coriander (cilantro, chinese parsley)
salt to taste
Simmer until the chicken is done. Beat 2 eggs and slowly stir them into
the sauce. Remove from heat.
Have ready phillo sheets, melted butter (at least 1/4 lb), and a pastry
brush. Select a shallow baking pan about 8" in diameter, such as an
iron skillet. What you basically want to do is construct a pie by
layering the phillo sheets in the pan and then folding them over the
contents; it will probably be easiest if you cut the sheets in half or
smaller, for instance into long rectangles about the width of the pan
and twice as long. Brush one of the sheets with melted butter, and put
it, butter side up, in the bottom of the pan, the excess dangling over
the side. Add another sheet, at an angle to the first, and repeat so
that you have phillo covering the bottom of the pan and dangling out all
around (this is hard to describe). Use about 5 sheets to form this
layer. Repeat the process, forming another layer. Now pour the chicken
and sauce into the pan. Put several more buttered sheets on top of the
chicken, this time not overlapping the edge--use smaller pieces or fold
them in half. Spread the nut mixture on top of this. Put another layer
or so of phillo, then fold the dangling ends over the top so as to close
the envelope. (Your mileage may vary on the number and details of
layering the sheets). Brush the top with butter. At this point the
bstila can be refrigerated if desired (this is time-consuming and you
may wish to do all this the day before serving).
Just before serving, put the pan in a 350-degree oven for 15-20 minutes
until the top is golden: flip it onto an oven-proof plate (or use an
ordinary plate to flip it over back into the skillet) and return to
brown the other side, 30-40 minutes total. Place on a serving platter,
sprinkle with powdered sugar, then make fanciful decorative designs with
ground cinnamon. (When I had this in a restaurant it said something
like "eat me").

CASSEROLE DE POULET AU RIZ
==========================
(Chicken and rice casserole)
Ingredients:
------------
2 whole chicken breasts, split in half about 2 lbs. total weight (4 pcs.)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tblsp butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/3 pound fresh mushrooms, left whole if very small, otherwise
sliced or quartered, depending on size
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup raw rice
1 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
-------------
1. Do not skin or bone the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the chicken
pieces with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the butter in a skillet and add the chicken pieces, skin side
down. Brown about 5 minutes and turn.
3. Scatter the onion and garlic between the chicken pieces and add the
mushrooms and bay leaf. Cook about 5 minutes.
4. Add the wine and cook until it is almost all evaporated. Add the
rice and broth, taking care that the rice does not rest on top of the
chicken pieces. Cover closely and cook about 20 minutes or until rice
is tender.
Yield: Four servings
Note:
-----
I cook the whole thing in my favorite cast-iron skillet, which has a
lid. You don't really have to worry about undercooking the chicken, so
the dish is done when the rice tastes done. Sometimes I use shallots
instead of onions if I have them, and mabye add a little (fresh)
tarragon or something. Beats frozen pizza.

1 lb chicken parts, cut into serving pieces
1/2 cup vinegar, white or cider
2 tbsp soy sauce
5 cloves garlic, crushed
salt and pepper
Instructions:
-------------
Combine all ingredients in saucepan. Bring to boil and simmer until

CHICKEN ADOBO
=============
(serves 2)
Ingredients:
------------
2 chicken breasts
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
3-4 garlic cloves, crushed
prepared couscous or rice
Instructions:
-------------
I use one chicken breast (boneless or bones-in, it doesn't matter) per
person. In a large pot, mix one part each soy sauce and white vinegar
with two parts water. (For two people, one part = 1/2 cup, adjust for
greater number of servings.) Add crushed garlic cloves to taste (3-4
cloves, more for true garlic hounds).
Bring pot to simmer. Add chicken to pot. Simmer covered for 1 1/2 to 2
hours (until chicken is tender and very dark from the sauce).
Serve chicken over plain couscous (or rice) with sauce poured over both.

CHICKEN ADOBO
=============
Yes, it is, indeed, a Filipino dish. I like to do this the quick and
easy way:
Take some chicken (I usually take about a pound or so of chicken parts,
any part will do) and put it in a good-sized pot. Add to that 2-3
crushed cloves of garlic, 1 sliced onion, 1 crumbled bay leaf, about
5-10 whole peppercorns, two potatoes (cut them any way you want, but not
in the french-fry style), and around 2 tablespoons each soy sauce, white
vinegar and sugar. Mix all ingredients lightly, then put it over low to
medium low heat. Cover and let cook for around 1 hour at the least, the
longer it goes, the more flavoursome it is.
Serve over rice. Since I just cook for myself, this is usually good for
around 3-4 meals, depending upon how hungry I am. This should serve
around 2-4 people, comfortably.

CHICKEN AND DUTCH DUMPLINGS
===========================
Ingredients:
------------
3 3/4 cups flour
2-3 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
4 tbs butter
1/2 cup water
4 eggs
2-3 gallons chicken broth
chicken
Instructions:
-------------
Mix flour and salt together well. Cut in butter. Add water and beaten
eggs, and mix until dough forms a ball. Divide dough if necessary and
roll out on a well floured board. This should be rolled out *very*
thin, ~1-1.5 mm thick. Cut the dough into 2-3 inch square pieces and
set aside for the moment. Make sure the dough is not overlapping when
you set it aside...it CANNOT be stacked.
In the meantime (at the beginning) prepare the chicken broth and season
to taste. When all the dumplings are cut, quickly drop them one by one
into the boiling broth. Allow to cook for 1/2 an hour. If the
dumplings are too thick, they will come out tough. It's better to err
on the thin side when rolling them out. This dish can be served with
fried chicken, or with the chicken chopped up in the broth. Makes ~8-10
servings.

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA
=============================
1 pkg chicken thighs (6 count)
1/2 pkg Hilshire Farms Polish Kielbasa (or other smoked sausage), sliced
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
3 large white onions, chopped (DO NOT use a food processor)
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1/4 cup peanut oil
2 cups white rice (regular white rice. NOT Minute rice!!!)
2 1/2 cups water
1 12oz beer (Budweiser works fine)
flour to coat chicken
1 1/2 tsp Rosemary
1 tsp Thyme
A handful of chopped parsley (hard to put too much)
Salt to taste
Lots of cayenne pepper
Instructions:
-------------
Start off by washing the chicken and placing it skin side down on a
plate (you can remove the skin if you want). Now, depending on how
spicy you want it, coat the chicken with Cayenne pepper until very red
(I use a LOT of Cayenne in mine). Don't worry about getting it too hot,
since this is the majority of the pepper you are going to add and it
will cook into the rest of the dish. Turn the chicken pieces over and
lightly coat the skin side. Let sit for 15 minutes or so to soak it all
up.
Heat the oil in the bottom of a large heavy cast iron or aluminum pot
(don't use thin aluminum or stainless steel since the rice will tend to
stick and burn if you're not really careful). Place the flour in a
paper bag (season the flour lightly with salt, cayenne pepper, black
pepper, garlic powder, etc). Place a couple of pieces of chicken at a
time into the bag and shake to coat.
Fry the chicken in the oil until golden brown. Don't worry about
cooking it all the way through just yet. Remove the chicken. Now place
the onions, celery, garlic and bellpepper into the pot along with a bit
more oil if necessary) and saute them until the onions are transparent,
scraping the bottom of the pot often. Add the rosemary, thyme and
parsley and cook for a minute or so.
Place the sausage slices, chicken, and a little water into the pot and
mix well with the vegetables. Turn heat low, cover and simmer for about
30 minutes (until the chicken is tender). Stir the mixture frequently,
always scraping the bottom to keep things from burning (break the
chicken up a bit with the spatula as it cooks. It should break up
naturally as the dish cooks, but this just helps things a little).
When the chicken is cooked, add the washed rice and stir it into
everything for a couple of minutes. Pour the warm beer and the water in
and stir things for another minute or so. Taste it at this point and
adjust the salt if necessary. Now, keeping the heat low, cover the pot
and cook until the rice is tender (anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour).
Stir the mixture every now and then, scraping the bottom of the pot.

CHICKEN BIG MAMOU ON PASTA
==========================
(Makes 6 servings)
The town of Mamou, in southeastern Louisiana, claims itself as the
"tomato capitol of the world." So dishes with the term "Mamou" usually
mean that there are tomatoes in the dish. Calling the dish "... Little
Mamou" means just a few tomatoes; "... Big Mamou" means lots of
tomatoes. So here is a pasta dish that is Cajun in inspiration.
Ingredients:
------------
6 quarts hot water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 pounds fresh spaghetti, or 1 pound dry
1 pound unsalted butter
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup very finely chopped onions
4 cloves garlic, medium-size, peeled
2 tsp minced garlic
3 1/4 cups rich chicken stock (in all)
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp Tabasco sauce
2 16-ounce cans tomato sauce
2 Tbsp sugar
2 cups very finely chopped green onions (in all)
2 pounds boneless chicken (light and dark meat), cut into 1/2" cubes
Seasoning mix no. 1 (for sauce, see below)
Seasoning mix no. 2 (for chicken, see below)
Directions:
-----------
Place the hot water, oil and salt in a large pot over high heat; cover
and bring to a boil. When water reaches a rolling boil, add small
amounts of spaghetti at a time to the pot, breaking up oil patches as
you drop spaghetti in. Return to boiling and cook to al dente stage
(about 4 minutes if fresh, 7 minutes if dry); do not over cook. During
this cooking time, use a wooden or spaghetti spoon to lift spaghetti out
of the water by spoonfuls and shake strands back into the boiling water.
(It may be an old wives' tale, but this procedure seems to enhance the
spaghetti's texture.)
Then immediately drain spaghetti into a colander; stop cooking process
by running cold water over strands. (If you used dry spaghetti, first
rinse with hot water to wash off starch.) After the pasta has cooled
thoroughly, about 2 to 3 minutes, pour a liberal amount of vegetable oil
in your hands and toss spaghetti. Set aside still in the colander.
Meanwhile, thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small
bowl and set aside.
In a 4-quart saucepan, combine 1 1/2 sticks of the butter, the onions
and garlic cloves; saute over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Add the minced garlic and the seasoning mix no. 1;
continue cooking over medium heat until onions are dark brown but not
burned [not unlike you cook onions for Indian curry dishes], about 8 to
10 minutes, stirring often. Add 2 1/2 cups of the stock, the
worcestershire and Tabasco; bring to a fast simmer and cook, about 8
minutes, stirring often. Stir in the tomato sauce and bring mixture to
a boil. Then stir in the sugar and 1 cup of the green onions; gently
simmer uncovered about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Heat the serving plates in a 250 deg F. oven.
Combine the ingredients of the chicken seasoning mix no. 2 in a small
bowl; mix well. Sprinkle over the chicken, rubbing it in with your
hands. In a large skillet melt 1 1/2 sticks of the butter over medium
heat. Add the remaining 1 cup green onions and saute over high heat
about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and continue cooking 10 minutes,
stirring frequently. When the tomato sauce has simmered about 40
minutes, stir in the chicken mixture and heat through.
To finish the dish, FOR EACH SERVING melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large
skillet over medium heat. Add one-sixth of the cooked spaghetti (a bit
less than a 2-cup measure); heat spaghetti 1 minute, stirring
constantly. Add 1 1/4 cups chicken and sauce and 2 Tbsp of remaining
stock; heat thoroughly, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Roll
spaghetti on a large fork and lift onto a heated serving platter.
Repeat process for remaining servings.
Seasoning mix no. 1 (for sauce)
-------------------------------
2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 1/4 tsp ground red pepper (preferably cayenne)
1 tsp white pepper
3/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried sweet basil leaves
Combine all ingredients and set aside
Seasoning mix no. 2 (for chicken)
----------------------------------
1 1/2 Tbsp salt (reduce this if desired)
1 1/2 tsp white pepper
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/4 tsp ground red pepper (preferably cayenne)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground cumin (optional)
1/2 tsp dried sweet basil leaves
Combine all ingredients and set aside

Since Chicken Cacciatore is literally a Hunter's Stew, it is made from
ingredients on hand, which means that recipes may vary considerably.
The following is the recipe that I use:
CHICKEN CACCIATORE
==================
Ingredients:
------------
1-2 lbs chicken
3 tbsp flour
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped coarse
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 cup mushroom caps, quartered
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine
1 14 fl oz can of tomatoes, crushed
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
3/4 tsp dried tarragon
1 tbsp paprika
chicken stock as needed
Instructions:
-------------
Depending on how fancy you want to be, the chicken can be breasts cut to
bite size pieces, leftover chicken, whole thighs, etc. Remove any skin
if fresh chicken is used.
Toss the chicken meat with the flour to coat. Shake off any excess
flour and then saute the chicken over medium heat in the olive oil until
nicely browned. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
Add the onion, garlic and mushroom caps and saute until the onion is
translucent.
Add the tomato paste and continue to cook until the paste starts to get
browned a little.
Deglaze with the wine, stirring well to dilute the tomato paste.
Add the canned tomatoes, the spices and seasonings and the cooked
chicken. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or longer, adding
chicken stock if necessary to keep from drying out.
Serve with boiled pasta.

1 kg lean diced chicken either breasts or thigh fillets - no skin
2 x 400ml coconut cream
1.5 tsp salt
2 curry leaves (optional)
1 pkt frozen 'Findus' chopped spinach
Instructions:
-------------
Heat oil in heavy pan. Add onions and fry until golden brown. Add
garlic, ginger and all spices except salt. Fry for 5 minutes until
fragrant. If mixture is too dry add a little water. Stir regularly to
prevent burning.
Add chicken and toss through to coat with onion/spices. Fry further 10
minutes, stirring to prevent burning/sticking.
Add thawed spinach and mix thoroughly. Add coconut cream and salt.
Stir well. Add curry leaves, bring to a rapid boil.
Reduce heat and allow to simmer for at least _1.5_ hours covered.
Remove lid and simmer till sauce reduces, usually 15-30 minutes.
This is an exceptionally hot curry, if you prefer a milder curry reduce
by half the following ingredients: chilli powder and hot paprika.
The original recipe I had for this dish was Turkari Molee a lamb dish,
but as we like chicken I have substituted chicken for the lamb and it is
wonderful. If you like lamb curries try it with lamb as well.

CHICKEN KIEV
============
Ingredients:
------------
boned, skinned, defatted/sinued chicken breast halves number of 1/2
breasts per person dependent upon basic glutony factor.
salt
pepper - freshly ground
scallions - thinly sliced
egg(s) - light beaten with (for a lot of Kievs use 2)
1(2) tbs milk
bread crumbs - I often use commercial, season Italian
flour
butter - cold and cut into pieces about the size and
shape of your little finger.
Instructions:
-------------
Preparation procedure for each breast:
--------------------------------------
Between two 1 gal. heavy-duty freezer bags pound breast until quite
thin with a abalone mallet or other flat, heavy object. Careful, do not
break holes in the middle of the chicken. Work slow and carefully!
When flattened, sprinkle with salt, pepper and about a tblsp of
scallions. Place scallions near the center of the breast.
Place a finger of the butter in the middle of the breast and CAREFULLY
fold the chicken over the butter and roll up. Keep in mind that you are
trying to create a watertight package for the butter. Variant: Place
butter at one end of breast and roll-up breast over the butter, folding
the ends in during the process. Like a butcher wrapping meat.
Coat the breast in the flour, dip in the egg mix and finally coat with
bread crumbs. This is part of the sealing process so make sure all the
little nooks and crannies are covered.
Final cooking:
--------------
Dependent upon size of deep fryer place 2 to 3 breasts in hot oil and
cook until slightly darker than a brown paper shopping bag. Remove from
fryer and cook for about 15 minutes in a 350 oven.

CHICKEN MASALA (Mangalorean style)
==============
1 kg chicken
4 tbsp curd (plain yoghurt)
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsps chilli powder
2 tsps coriander powder
1/4 cup oil
salt to taste
Instructions:
-------------
Cut chicken into pieces and marinate with curd and salt and keep aside
for an hour.
Heat oil and fry turmeric. Add onion and fry till light brown. Then
add ginger and garlic mixed in a tbsp of water and stir well. Then add
chilli and coriander mixed in 4 tbsps water. Stir well till oil comes
out clear. Now add the chicken and sufficient water to make good sauce.
Cover and let cook on gentile fire till chicken is done.
Notes:
------
1) Cooking is about a half hour to 45 minutes, depending on size of
chicken pieces and level of heat.
2) All of the curd (we used plain yoghurt) curdled (no pun, I think this
is how you would describe it). So, we made another batch of sauce,
using all of the ingredients except the chicken.
3) This was not hot, just spicy enough. You could probably spice it up
with more chilli powder and more garlic, or fresh garlic instead of
powdered.

CHICKEN PAPRIKA
===============
Ingredients:
------------
4 lbs chicken pieces
1 large onion finely chopped
2 to 3 tblsp sweet hungarian paprika
4 tblsp butter or margarine
salt and pepper to taste
sour cream (the new fat free type works well too)
flour
Instructions:
-------------
Melt butter in large fry pan (I use a 4 qt. chicken fryer with a vent
in the lid) and saute onion for a few minutes. Season chicken with salt
and pepper and cook over medium high heat until just golden on both
sides. Sprinkle paprika evenly over chicken. Add enough water to the
pan to come about 1/2 way up the sides of the chicken pieces. Bring to
a boil then cover and turn down to simmer. Leave lid slightly open or
open the lid vent about half way. Simmer for about 2 hours (less if you
use boneless chicken breast).
After the chicken is cooked remove to a platter and cool enough to
handle without burning yourself. Meanwhile strain the juices and return
to the pan. In a medium bowl have about 1/3 cup flour (you may need to
add a little more). Whisk about half of the pan juices into the flour
gradually until mixture is thick and smooth. Return to the remaining
juices in the pan. Turn heat back up to medium and whisk this mixture
until it is very thick and smooth (this is where you may need a little
extra flour). In the same bowl stir about 1/2 cup (more if you like)
sour cream until smooth. Whisk about 1/3 of the gravy into the sour
cream gradually. Return this to the pan and reduce heat to avoid
boiling. By time all of this is done the chicken should be cool enough
to handle. Remove chicken from the bones and cut or tear into bite size
pieces. Return to the pan with the gravy and simmer until heated
through. Adjust seasoning to taste. If there are leftovers this
freezes reasonably well and is even better the next time around.
