Chicken Stroganoff

Stroganoff to my correct knowledge is a mid 19th century Russian dish cook with beef which I have made before. 

See recipe - http://chefshamsher.blogspot.com/2014/12/beef-stroganoff.html ignore the stupid origins.

I don't feel like cooking these days but I have to feed myself and one other so I turn to things which are nearly effortless to make.

We all love effortless things don't we?

Well here is one effortless dish for you and the recipe is a lot different than the beef stroganoff.

This is chicken so it's cooked early and the method is very easy like you all want your lives to be.

Ingredients

500 grams chicken cut in strips

1 onion finely chopped

1 cup chicken broth

1  cup sour cream

1 can of sliced mushrooms

1.5 teaspoon of salt (divided in 3 1/2 teaspoons)

1.5 spoons of black pepper (divided in 3 1/2 teaspoons)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon tomato sauce

1 teaspoon of red chili paste

1 teaspoon flour

It depends on you how you want to eat it with pasta or rice. I made both and wasted both of them as well.

Start by frying the chicken strip in a non stick pan until they are cooked. Add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and salt while frying them. Take them out separately.

Now you fry the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms on high heat for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and salt while frying them.

Now add the fried chicken, chicken broth, soy sauce, tomato sauce and bring it to a boil.

Mix a teaspoon of all purpose flour in the sour cream until smooth and add it in the mushroom chicken mixture. Add the red chili paste. Simmer on low heat until your desired thickness of sauce.

Stroganoff is ready and all set to be served now.

Like I said its up to you to whether to eat them with pasta or rice but I have tried my best to display them in both ways.

Ladies and gentlemen throw your hands in the air like you just don't care for Chicken Stroganoff.

Chicken Teriyaki

So, I woke up today and I asked myself "What am I doing with my life? I should cook some chinese food."

So I made two different things today. One of them was Chicken Teriyaki.

Chicken Teriyaki. Its very simple and is made with a handful of ingredients.

You need:


400 grams of chicken thigh or leg meat with skin. (if you live in Lahore then it will be easily available at Al Fateh. They have skinned leg and thigh parts and they also make them boneless for you)

3 tablespoon oil

2 tablespoon honey

2 tablespoon apple juice

2 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon ginger paste


1 teaspoon salt 

Apply ginger paste and salt to chicken and leave it for 30-40 minutes. 

Heat oil in a pan.

Put the skin side down of the chicken.

Fry it till it gets brown then flip it to other side.

Mix honey, apple juice and soy sauce together & add it in the chicken. Stir it well.

Cook till the liquid evaporates. Do not I repeat DO NOT overcook it or it will get bitter like the people you love.

Ladies and some of the gentlemen I give you too sweet and less sour Chicken Teriyaki.
