What can be made from chicken. Chicken dishes - the best recipes for home dinner

Chicken main courses are very popular, both in restaurants in different countries and on home menus. These dishes are served on weekdays and holidays and are included in the diet of people of all ages.

Tender chicken meat is extremely healthy, nutritious, and easily digestible by the body. It is combined with various ingredients and has the unique property of absorbing some of the juices and aromas of other products with which it was cooked at the same time. Thanks to this, you can prepare an incredible number of different main courses from chicken, each time adding pleasant variety to the menu.

Most often, chicken is combined with vegetables, cereals, grains, pasta, mushrooms, herbs, improving the taste and aroma of the ingredients present with the help of spices. To prepare chicken main courses, various methods of heat treatment of ingredients are used: they are boiled, stewed, fried, baked in the oven, slow cooker, or microwave.

Depending on the recipe, all parts of the carcass can be used, or only fillets or giblets. The meat pulp is cut into small or large pieces, made into minced meat, and beaten with a culinary hammer. Large and small pieces of chicken and offal are used to prepare pilaf, stew, roast, and porridge with meat. Minced meat makes excellent meatballs, cutlets, filling for dumplings, cabbage rolls and pies. The beaten fillet flesh is suitable for preparing chops, large and small rolls, inside which a certain filling is wrapped. For a romantic dinner or family celebration, you can bake a whole chicken stuffed with rice, mushrooms or vegetables in the oven. Often, various sauces are prepared for chicken main courses - tomato, cream, French. To add some piquancy, a small amount of fruits, berries, seeds, and nuts is sometimes added to the dish.

Tricks for preparing quick chicken dishes

Focus on two key points: flatness and seasoning. To begin with, we will spend the first of the allotted 15 minutes to thoroughly beat the meat, then it will cook faster (ideal option if you immediately have boneless and skinless chicken fillet). Then we add a bunch of aromatic “live” seasonings such as orange, mint and butter. So, the rules are simple: beat the chicken properly and add fresh aromatic seasonings.

Orange Mint Chicken Dinner

Serve the chicken topped with a dollop of the orange mint sauce with the salad, which you can prepare while the chicken cooks.

Ingredients:

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice of one orange
  • 2 tablespoons butter (this ingredient can be omitted for a more dietary option)
  • 4 mint leaves, chopped
  • orange zest

Preparation:

  1. Place the frying pan over medium heat.
  2. While the pan is heating, place the chicken between two sheets of wax paper (baking paper) or cling film and pound it until it is about 5-6mm thick.
  3. Pour olive oil into a frying pan. Wait 5 seconds for the oil to become hot and add the breasts (beware of oil splashes).
  4. Immediately we begin to move the chicken pieces in the pan. The pan may be hot enough to brown the chicken quickly, so you can turn up the heat a little if desired. Add orange juice.
  5. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes and then turn over. Cook for another 6-7 minutes until fully cooked.
  6. Finally, add the butter, mint and orange zest and let the butter melt. Let the chicken rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Spicy Chicken with Garlic and Lime

Ingredients:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

for breading:

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried garlic
1/8 teaspoon dried onion
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

for frying:
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons lime juice

1. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, red pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dried garlic and onion, thyme and parsley. Generously sprinkle the spice mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
2. Melt the butter in a large, thick-bottomed frying pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Fry chicken breasts until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons dried garlic on top and drizzle with lime juice. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently so that the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
