tangy orange sesame chicken

Posted on May 1, 2014 | 6 comments

A favorite dish of mine, involving crisp, fried chicken bites smothered in a wonderfully sweet and tangy orange sauce.

It’s an easy recipe, served in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

2 large eggwhites
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 tsp salt
500g chicken breast cut in cubes
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 scallion trimmed and sliced
1 cup fresh orange
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp soya sauce

In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, cornstarch, sesame seeds and salt until you get frothy and fluffy batter.

Using egg whites instead of whole eggs (or yolks) in the batter creates a crispier coating.

Add the chicken and toss to coat.

Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.

Cook chicken until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Work in several batches, you don’t want your chicken to be cluttered.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Wipe the pan with a paper towel. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Boil over high heat until a bit thick about 4 to 5 minutes.

Put chicken in sauce and add scallions.

Cook until heated through and coated with sauce, about 1 minute.

You can serve it like this or pair it with steamed rice.

Damn it’s so delicious! the sauce has so much flavor.

I am a fan of asian cuisine and my husband prefers the italian one, i felt flattered when he said, “this is a very delicious dish you have to make it more often, thumbs up”!

Quick, easy and delicious mustard chicken (20 mns preparation)

Posted on April 1, 2014 | 2 comments

So easy and quick mustard chicken for the many of you who don’t have the luxury of time. No fail recipe for the non adventurers. You can serve it for lunch as for dinner, it is on your table in less than half an hour.

All you need is a large boneless skinless chicken breast. Cook in a grill pan on high heat until golden brown (for 14 minutes, 7 mns each side), with a little salt and butter.

Meanwhile, combine:

90 ml (6 tbsp) cooking cream
30 ml (2 tbsp) moutarde a l’ancienne (whole grain mustard)
15 ml (1 tbsp) Dijon mustard

Stir on a very low flame for almost 5 mns and pour it on your golden delicious chicken.

Fresh asparagus is a wonderful addition to your healthy meal. Just soak it in a boiled water for 5 minutes, to keep its crunchiness.

Try it and give me your opinion!

orzo, spinach and chicken salad

Posted on March 8, 2014 | 3 comments

Craving a dinner that is delicious, nutritious, and simple to make?

This salad is a full meal. It contains all the nutrients you need at one time.

The first time i tried this salad was in an italian restaurant. I loved it and decided to do it at home, and the result came tastier!

Ingredients (for 4 people)

orzo pasta 500g
grilled chicken breast 400g
fresh spinach 350g (chopped)
feta cheese 80g (cut in small cubes)
2 medium tomatoes (cut in medium cubes)
olives 50g
roasted pine seeds (a handful)

Dressing: lemon and olive oil

Why lemon? because there’s a compound in spinach called oxalic acid, which blocks the absorption of calcium and iron. An easy way to solve this problem is to pair spinach with a food high in vitamin C.
