Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 red onions, halved and sliced
4 chicken legs (about 1 kg in total), skin removed
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp Madras curry powder
1 tsp ground allspice
4 large tomatoes, chopped
1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp vegetable bouillon
125g brown basmati
1 red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra to serve
1 tsp vegetable bouillon
400g can black-eyed beans

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a very large non-stick frying pan and cook the onions for 5 mins or until soft. Meanwhile, coat the chicken thoroughly with the thyme, curry powder and allspice. Add to the pan and briefly brown the chicken, then tip in the tomatoes, chilli, garlic and bouillon. Pour over 450ml water, cover and simmer for 30 mins or until the chicken is tender.
  • Meanwhile, tip the rice into a medium-sized pan with the onion, garlic, thyme and bouillon. Pour in 600ml water, cover and cook for 25 mins or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Check toward the end of the cooking time to ensure it isn't starting to catch on the pan. Stir in the beans and heat through. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve half the rice with half the chicken (saving the leftovers for a second meal later in the week). Otherwise you can serve four portions, scattered with a few extra thyme leaves, if you like.

Mango Chicken - Restaurant Style image

I was working in a great little chinese restaurant in Acworth, GA for over a year. Here's the recipe. The ingredients are surprisingly simple, but create an interesting flavor - spicy and sweet. Not as healthy as some dishes, but still fun on occasion.

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice (Jasmine Thai)
1 large mango
1 cup snow peas
2 cups broccoli
1/2 lb chicken breast
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 cup Tabasco sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon msg
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Wash the rice and cook with a couple pinches of salt.
  • Fresh mango can be tricky to cut up because of the large pit in the center. Peel the fruit and cut away bite-size portions. Put the mango in a bowl with the snow peas.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces and set aside on it's own.
  • Slice the chicken to the size of 3 quarter dollars put together, or cut to your preference. Partially freeze the meat to make the meat easier to cut small.
  • Put the chicken in a small bowl. Add the cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, MSG and 2 teaspoons of water. Mix by hand to coat the meat. This step keeps the meat juicy while it cooks in hot oil.
  • In another small bowl, mix the Tabasco, sugar, and ketchup.
  • 3/4 fill a small pot of water and boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it becomes bright green. If you cook too long it will become translucent and limp. lightly season.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in your wok at 80% heat. Add the chicken and cook until white. Drain off the oil and set meat aside.
  • Return the wok to the heat the remaining oil. Add the mango and snow peas. Cook for 1 minute while flipping and then add the chicken and sauce. Cook for 2 minutes more while stirring.
  • Serve the dish with a pilaf of rice and arrange the broccoli on the side of the plate.

MANGO-PECAN CHICKEN



Mango-Pecan Chicken image

The recipes I found for mango chicken seemed to overwhelm the mangoes with citrus juices. Here's my version, which I believe keeps the flavor of fresh mango in focus. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley and serve with plain white rice.

⅛ teaspoon ground mace
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut in half lengthwise
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
