Re: OT - garlicy chicken

[Guest guest]

June, :-) thank you. Actually I posted this firts to my parents of bipolar kids

boaard- and yes we really do lock all knives----- and yes food is an issue with

the kids- the icky stuff- if you are not careful the kids get wel.. um

I had stopped cooking- due to how poorly I was doing with the RA stuff- and I

missed it so much- and missed eating home cooking.but I am coming back to it,

although quite slowly and gently.

Hey- I am a nurse! I could not work, but I have lately been wondering if I

could use my scooter for med passes? the other problem is opening all the darn

blister packs they now use for patients meds- ACK_ I do not think my fingers can

handle that- but I MISS working SO much!

scooter away! Nah, don't cook, let it slide somehow. Way to go- you sound

BUSY!

[ ] OT - garlicy chicken

recipe (sort of) Garlic chicken whatchyamacallit (kinda like Olive Garden)

OK um. I rarely measure anything- sorry- I just get bored measuring or

something.

Ya start with some boneless skinless chicken breast meat. Now keep in mind in

our house we are squeamish and we find meat etc really gross and we even have

a

very hard time buying it. Noone in this house will touch a chicken drumstick

no

way no how. ALL meat and poultry MUST be devoid of anything that might be

construed as ugly or icky- so get out the scissors cuz up to half of the

chicken

is going away here. Trim off anything that looks like skin, bones, fat, veins,

or anything else weird. I find it easiest to use scissors and close my eyes

and

wear rubber gloves cuz it just feels so yukky. Then cut the chicken into like

um, bite sized peices, cuz hey I locked up all the knives years ago and noone

remembers where.

Toss them into a fry pan or wok that has a little olive oil in the bottom.

Sprinkle with just a little meat tenderizer cuz if anyone has to chew their

food

here- well, forget it, hubby has no teeth, LD forgot how to use them, Buffy

talks too much to chew and I gag on meat. LOL.

In the meantime start a pot for angel hair pasta to boil.

Brown the chicken slightly- and pour in some chicken broth. ANy kind,

homemade,

fat free, salt free- whatever. just kinda cover the chicken and simmer it to

make sure it is cooked all the way thru- salmonella is NOT your friend.

Neither

is camphylobacter. BLEAH! So simmer or boil away till you are absolutely

certain this fowl is cooked.

Crush 4 or 5 or 10 fresh garlic thingies off a big garlic thingie into the

chicken and stir. Yes, I said even 10- YUM. depends on who you might decide to

visit in the next 2 days how much garlic you want to use. Thinly slice a red

onion into the chicken. Then thinly slice a red pepper a yellow pepper and a

green pepper. My hubby and kids do not like al dente vegs- so I cook the

peppers and onions till soft- but it is up to you. cook away, simmer away,

boil

or wok it, whatever. Add the angel hair to boiling water and set your timer

for

the pasta. hopefully some of your chicken broth boiled down a lot- so now you

can add some white wine of some kind. Don't ask me what kind, I get these tiny

little bottles at my grocery store for 75 cents and use a half to one bottle-

they are tiny....we like the chicken to have a little juiciness to stir into

the

angel hair. How much chicken? I am not sure, depends how much you started with

and how much you cut off there. sometimes we have more peppers than chicken,

sometimes we have more garlic than chcicken. Doesn't matter the garlic carries

it no matter what. The pasta fills ya up. Aside from pork chops and round

steak pot roast- this is one of our whole families fav meals- even Lil

DUde!!!!!

We had this tonite. It is really good with garlic bread and a salad made of

fresh spinach leaves, fresh sliced strawberries, thin sliced red onions and

feta

cheese with rasberry dressing. Yes, I am totally serious. It is the best.

Hey I have missed this cooking thing here ----- yes, dinner was AWESOME..gosh

dang why did I only buy one package of chicken instead of 2? DARN! Next time.

And hey if you do not have to screw around with your chicken like I do, it is

even easier and faster. (and you have more chicken, LOL)

Try it and enjoy!!!!

Your recipe sounds very good and it also was quite entertaining to read.

Being brought up on a farm and having to clean and pluck chickens, as well

as many other creatures we raised to eat, I can just imagine how yucky you

would have found what I considered natural. Growing up, I though everyone

killed their own chickens LOL!

I also never measure unless I'm baking. My meals consist of whatever comes

out of the refrigerator. If I get a new recipe, I follow it the first time

and then just use it as a guide to make it my way. My newest craving is

sweet potato pie. I had it at someone house for dinner and have been

working on the perfect recipe. It almost tastes like pumpkin pie.

Your salad sounds wonderful. I love spinach salad with strawberries and

poppy seeds. I never tried rasberry dressing with it but it sounds very

good so I'll have to try it.
