Let's talk about it over Chicken

Every now and then, and whenever things are better, why not treat yourself with the best form possible - Yes! Dine out :D
Sometimes, a simple meal accompanied by your bestie takes the stress away, and what's good about it is that you don't have to spend much just so you can get the best out of it.

Dining at Savory, I was really surprised at how cheap their price for 2 is. It was more than what we bargained for.

For a change, we skipped the sodas and went for some Four Seasons

Chicken all the way!

Eating out is fun! No doubt. But when you're in a short break and you need to be back in the office, you can't help but choose the "fastest fast food" there is, and situations like this calls for some quick KFC flavor shots! It's cheap, fast and mouth watering :D

This is their version of Flavor Shots in a box but with added carbs.. RICE! and you get to have all the gravy you want.

Chicken fingers? or Nachos?

Today, I was browsing through recipes online when I found the most mouth watering nacho recipe I've ever seen, I thought I'd cook some for dinner, and though Monday afternoons are fairly traffic, it is not safe to say "it's Monday, I will be home early" needless to say, it was late when I arrive the grocery. Change of plans.. I went for something familiar and easy to prepare.

Chicken Fingers

Dipping Sauce:

1 medium pack mayonnaise
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. honey or (sprinkle of sugar)
mustard powder (i used mustard, the one you put on burger :))

For the Chicken:

2lb chicken breasts cut into strips
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp. salt
black pepper (as desired)
garlic powder (as desired)
1tsp. paprika
1 cup flour
2 eggs lightly beaten
2-3 cups bread crumbs
cooking oil for frying

Combine mayo, lemon juice, honey and mustard together. stir and put aside. Best when served cold.

In a bowl, mix chicken strips, sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Make sure spices evenly coat your chicken strips. Start heating your pan with cooking oil to fry your chicken (best if they're deep fried). Working by servings, coat chicken in flour, then deep in egg then finally coat in breadcrumbs. Fry until chicken turns golden brown.

A Chicken! :D

I'm not sure what to call this but I wanted some chicken with gravy for dinner and this is what I came up with.

Gravy is all homemade. A bit of butter, deglazed chicken grease, some flour, chicken or beef broth whichever you prefer and milk.

Mushrooms, my sister's favorite and a must have in the gravy.

 Nom.. Nom.. NOm..

Chicken Alfredo

This is my version of the ever popular Chicken Alfredo.

As I expect groceries to provide me with everything I need when it comes to cooking (ingredients wise) I didn't find me a fettuccine that traditionally comes with a good Alfredo so instead, I got me a regular pasta, a great one too specially if you're only eating at home.

A bit of melted butter, all purpose cream and grated cheese simmered all together, I was a ble to make a good sauce.

Normally, you only need to season your chicken with salt and pepper before frying but this time, I marinated it with worcestershire sauce to give it 'lil color and taste.

Tara! Let's eat :D

Fried Chicken Wings

Cooking in previous years proved to be the most "äbsentee" word in my vocabulary. I have to admit, I love to eat, my family and friends can second that - but cooking? no. Lately though, I developed the passion to cook the food I want to eat, as well as gradually making the kitchen equipped with whatever I need.
Here's what I found funny yet cute about learning how to cook:

1. You'd spend to get a certain ingredient mentioned in the recipe - not knowing there are alternatives :)
2. I have 6 kinds of spices in the cupboard in less than a month when previously, I don't even remember if we had salt. :)
3. You tend to overdo it and put something more than what's said on measurements and stuff. 
4. I spend half an hour standing in front of the "Spices" section of the grocery store.
5. I don't use measuring cups / spoons - I just "swish" and "swash" with my hand.
6. When it's my first time to cook a recipe, I don't want anybody else near my work place :)
7. I always let my sister taste first and wait for what she says :)

Anyway, today is chicken day. The only time I eat chicken wings is when they're fried.

A bit of Paprika and a Sprinkle of Cayenne pepper

now, let's eat

A near caesar dressing makes it tastier

Chicken Picatta

My very own Chicken Picatta. I'm not a great cook - I have to admit that, but somehow, I always end up giving justice on recipes I have used as a guide in creating one of a kind dish. Today, I finally able to cook this recipe - a recipe that I have been visiting almost every other day on this website. http://purposedrivenchef.com 

The outcome of my 2 hour battle in the kitchen

I didn't even know a certain "Worcestershire sauce" existed.. I can't even pronounce it :D

yum

  Thanks to http://purposedrivenchef.com for this wonderful recipe.
