The Practicality Of One Dish Chicken Recipes

By Edna Booker


It's always best to have something that is nutritious and simple planned for dinner. One dish chicken recipes are popular because they are easy to make, while being tasty at the same time. There is so much one can do with this type of meat and it is not one of the expensive meals to make, unless you are using other ingredients which all add up.

The type of dish one makes will depend on your preferences. Some people enjoy spicy foods and others will go for something creamy. Some people are not big eaters so a bowl of soup which has been simmering away all day is something that will please the palette.

It is great to come home to something comforting in the winter time. There are stews, soups and pies that can be made ahead of time. These can be frozen and divided up amongst the family. They can also be created on an individual basis in the case where someone is living alone and does not want to spend a long time cooking a nutritious meal. If you plan ahead and freeze things like this, you will save a lot of time.

Chicken is one of the less expensive meat dishes to make, and yet it is popular and tasty at the same time. Not everyone likes pork or beef, but poultry is something that everyone takes two. Something like coq au vin, will be a nice surprise for guests at your next dinner party. If you do a lot of entertaining then this is the kind of thing to go for, because it may seem like hard work, but it really isn't.

A lot of flavor comes from the wine that you add. This is cooked out, so people with phobias relating to alcohol are not going to be bothered by this. Flour is always the thing that thickens the stew or the casserole and you will achieve this, coating the chicken beforehand and then gently frying it off in a little oil. You will then add the stock after you have added the other ingredients.

Soup also falls under this category and many people simply indulge in this along with an interesting type of bread which is going to full them up. Breads like ciabatta and foccacia are always popular with a creamy chicken soup. You can also make this chunky by adding a lot of different vegetables.

Cooking things in a couple of minutes are also something that many people do. Stir fries and dishes with creamy sauces or a simple basil and olive oil dish can be done in no time. Pasta dishes are also easy to achieve with a little chicken, and creamy tomato sauce. You can buy vegetables chopped up, so you just need to chop the chicken up and put everything in a pan.

Making quick meals that only take a couple of minutes are also something that you can do with ease. You can buy vegetables that are already sliced and diced for you. Along with this, you will have chicken breasts that you will have to cut up and this can be made up into stir fries or you can make a sauce which is nice and creamy.
