Pizza Toast

These days I am not getting enough time and space to make some special things. I wanted to make a couple of mutton recipes since it is Eid season but I guess I will do a recap of the old ones.

Meanwhile, I make something simple and easy for the breakfast. If you have kids they will love this. If you don't have kids then please don't bother bringing more human life in this pathetic world. 

This recipe is called Pizza Toast and it has a lot of cheese and pepperoni in it.


With just about 5 ingredients it is the easiest thing to make.

INGREDIENTS:

4 bread slices (for 2 toasts)

Butter

Cheese slices

Shredded Mozzarella

Pizza Sauce

Pepperoni




Apply butter on the slices.


Place one slice butter side down on the frying pan on low heat.

Place a slice of cheese on the bread and top it with as many pepperonis as you want.

Cover it with another cheese slice and place another bread slice with the butter side up.


Flip the toast now and put pizza sauce on it.

Cover it with shredded mozzarella and place more pepperonis on it.


Place your sandwiches in a baking tray over a baking sheet.

Bake them for 10 minutes on 200 degrees and it is done.

Grilled Chicken Bruschetta

HEALTHY CHICKEN RECIPE - EPISODE SIX

GRILLED CHICKEN BRUSCHETTA


Health is wealth and since I am broke af I only have health. Why one should not look after it then.

This new Healthy Chicken Recipe episode brings forward a recipe from the land of Italy. Bruschetta which sounds like an abuse in Punjabi is basically an Italian starter which consists of bread with assorted toppings.

When I saw this recipe on Skinny Taste I had no hopes of a good taste but was still compelled to make. So www.skinnytaste.com put the Bruschetta toppings of grilled chicken and made it much more healthier which makes a perfect meal for weight watchers.

Hence, this recipe is called Grilled Chicken Bruschetta and mind you it is delicious.


With only a handful of ingredients and the fact that it is very easy to make, makes it even more of a delightful experience.

INGREDIENTS:

2 chicken breasts sliced in half

4 garlic cloves minced

3 medium tomatoes slices

1/2 red onion chopped

2 tablespoon of freshly chopped basil leaves

100 grams of cottage or low fat cheese diced in cubes

2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

2-3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of pepper




It is extremely easy to make.

The first thing you need to do is to chop the onion and put it into a bowl.

Then drizzle some olive oil and balsamic vinegar on it.

Season it with some salt and pepper.




Now we become a samurai for a couple of minutes and slice the rest of the stuff.

Mince the garlic with your very own hands.


Dice the tomatoes in medium sized cubes.


Chop chop the basil leaves.


Dice the cheese into cubes.


Leave the cheese for now and add the garlic, tomatoes and basil leaves in the balsamic onion bowl.

Mix it properly and leave it for 10 minutes.


Now we preheat the grill on medium high and season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.

Grill the chicken pieces for 4 minutes on each side and set them up in a tray.



Add the cheese cubes to the Bruschetta and mix it properly.


Spread the Bruschetta over grilled chicken and take one bite to feel the different flavors running in your mouth. As someone who is not a big fan of tomatoes I loved this. I know I made it and I am kinda self praising but if you have a problem with my self praising then cook for me someday maybe but I know it will never be as good as this. I am such a hater.

Cajun Chicken Alfredo

I want to rant so bad today but I won't because whenever you say something on the internet it becomes public property and most of the public is such an ass that they will say whatever they feel like regardless of your situation.

So I keep most of my personal life and stuff to myself because people usually don't understand shit until they have to go through it themselves.

Anyway, once in a while there comes a pasta recipe that is extremely easy to make and very delicious to feast on that you all of a sudden forget all of  your problems are willing to ignore your strict diet routine.

Cajun Chicken Alfredo is one of those pastas.



Yes you heard it right. Cajun seasoning is an all purpose seasoning which is used in a lot of foreign recipes. I bought it from Green Valley (Mall of Lahore) but you can also get it from Al-Fatah and essajee's if you are from Lahore.

Even if you can't find Cajun seasoning you can make it at home by compiling the following things:

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

2 1/2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano

1 1/4 teaspoons dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Just combine all of these ingredients and you'll get your Cajun spice mix.

Now let's get down to our recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

4 tablespoons olive oil


4 cloves garlic, chopped


450 grams of penne pasta


4 cooked chicken sausages, sliced


500 grams chicken breasts, thinly sliced


1 tablespoon cajun seasoning


Salt 1 tablespoon


400 grams cream


1/2 cup of milk


1 cup grated parmesan cheese


1/4 cup grated mozzarella


1/4 cup parsley/coriander






Boil the pasta as per the directions of the packet.


Meanwhile the pasta is being boiled you can finely chop your coriander/parsley and garlic cloves.


Drain the pasta and rinse with cold water. Keep it aside.




How on medium head add olive oil to a pan.


Add chicken, sausage slices and chopped garlic.


Cook until chicken is cooked and keep stirring so the garlic doesn't burn.




When the chicken loses the pink color add salt and cajun seasoning.


Mix and cook it with the pasta.




When the chicken is completely cooked and the spice mix has blended in, turn the heat to low and add the cream and milk.




Now add the grated parmesan, mozzarella and chopped coriander.


Give everything a good mix.




Add the pasta to the white sauce with chicken and mix it well until the pasta is completely coated. 


This is it.




Sprinkle some more chopped coriander over it and Cajun seasoning. Enjoy the creamy treat and get lost in the rich Cajun flavor.
