Once again, I have run out of ideas about what to cook for dinner. Teehee....but I do have a market quite literally down the road and I get my inspiration from there. So, today, it was a lot of bell peppers, carrots, celery...and other remaining juice that I have in my fridge.
I don't get it. I keep getting more and more juice. We keep opening the new ones leaving the half empty ones still rotting inside the fridge. So, have to make use of them la.
Today, it is orange juice. =)
I spotted some nice juicy chicken breasts in the market and made a grab for it. I know how it is, I prefer the thigh too if given the choice but I think we have had many nights of chicken drumsticks already.
Marinated the chicken breasts in orange juice, sea salt, pepper and mushroom seasoning and into the fridge it goes. A couple of hours later, the chicken breasts goes into the oven. I want it crispy and intend to use breadcrumbs later but you know how breadcrumbs burn easily when you cook it over the pan or wok? Popping it into the oven first cooks the breasts down a bit so that you don't get uncooked middle parts.
See ya later, chickens!
I made the chicken separately from the er....vegetable stew? LOL. See how I don't know where I am sometimes going with this whole cooking for the family thing? Tembak. If it goes wrong, tapau! (Takeaway). I have been cooking for the family for countless years, right? And still, the instinct and tembak method seems to work best.
I know it doesn't look appetizing, right? Hahaha but it is.
1. Cook onion
2. Garlic
3. Bell pepper
4. Tomatoes (Kids don't like chunky tomatoes so I got to bleed them to death from the beginning)
5. Celery
6. Carrot
7. Orange Juice
8. Oyster Sauce
9. A little more seasoning
(Taste as you go along. This is where discretion is used for salt, sugar and pepper)
10. Balsamic vinegar (a splash will do la, for me, cos kids don't like SOURRRRR)
The chicken got cooked right down to about 70% maybe in the oven?
The chicken breasts got covered up in a layer of egg mix and then a layer of breadcrumbs and then into the pan. Fry till it looks about like this.
I tell you it is super yummy. Served it with rice and the chicken got bathed in the 'orange vegetable stew'.
Don't ask me for measurements, I don't know. =) You got to experiment it out on your own. It's fun. Thankfully, this round it is definitely a GOOD TO GO!!!
