Diet Chicken Recipes Biography
Source: (Google.com.pk)I buy organic beef mini meatballs from the supermarket, which makes this extremely easy to put together, and there'd be nothing to stop you freezing them and cooking straight from frozen, if that helps. In which case, I'd just pop them in hot sauce and not attempt to brown them first.
Sure you can make your own meatballs, but so long as you're happy with the provenance of the meat (which is always, always important), don't beat yourself up about cutting it at this stage, when you know everyone's going to be happy come suppertime. Likewise the packet of diced veg: once everything's swimming in its mellow sauce, no one is going to be asking questions.
Diet Mellow Meatballs
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons red curry paste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
40 mini meatballs (approx. 600g / 1lb 5oz)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 x 400 ml can coconut milk
1 x 400 grams can chopped tomatoes
1 x 410 grams can chickpeas (drained)
350 grams diced butternut squash and sweet potato (sold in supermarkets, in a packet)
500 ml chicken stock (from concentrate or cube)
2 tablespoons honey
approx. 20 grams fresh coriander (finely chopped).
Directions:
Heat the red curry paste and vegetable oil in a large wide pan; when it starts sizzling, add the meatballs, turning them in the red oily mixture.
Sprinkle the cinnamon and ginger over the meatballs and fry for a couple of minutes.
Add the coconut milk, chopped tomatoes and drained chickpeas. Stir in the diced butternut squash and sweet potato, then the stock and honey.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve with rice and decorate each plate with some chopped coriander.
Although a regular coxinha really is the size and shape of a pear, these are mini versions, and you can get a fabulous 70 out of not much more than three small chicken breasts (although I feel I should have used 6 chicken thigh fillets instead, given the name of this dish) and a great deal of flour. Yes, they are time-consuming to make, but if you get a bunch of friends together and get a little conveyer belt going, it is enormously companionable.
I have given measurements below, but I find it easier to think in terms of ratios: in other words, for each cup of chopped cooked chicken, you will need a cup of flour and a cup of liquid. By the way, I find a small chicken breast fillet yields one cup of chopped meat.
Helio, whose recipe this is, says that in Brazil these are commonly made and then frozen and then dipped in egg and breadcrumbs and deep fried from frozen.
Coxinha
Ingredients:
to make the coxinhas
3 chicken breast fillets
1 litre chicken stock (cube is fine)
1 small onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
375 ml milk
50 grams butter
450 grams plain flour
1 small handful fresh parsley
3 spring onions (green part only)
salt to taste
pepper to taste
to fry
2 litres vegetable oil
250 ml milk
200 grams very fine breadcrumbs
1 large egg.
Method:
Poach the chicken breasts in the chicken stock in a saucepan until cooked; this will take around 15 minutes, but do check they are cooked through. Remove from liquid and let cool.
While the chicken is cooking, fry the chopped onion and garlic in the 2 tablespoons of olive oil for about 10 minutes, until soft.
Remove some of the chicken stock, so that only 375ml / 1½ cups remains and then add the 375ml / 1½ cups milk along with the butter, and melt the butter in the liquid in the pan then slowly beat in the flour and cook just for a few minutes until the dough begins to come together and also come away from the sides of the pan as you stir. Turn the dough out onto a plate and leave until it's cool enough to handle comfortably.
While you're waiting for the dough to cool, finely chop the chicken, parsley and spring onions, add salt and pepper to taste and leave this finely chopped mixture while you get on with the dough.
Do not flour a surface, but simply knead the dough until it is smooth and bouncy (about 10 minutes), and then pinch off walnut sized lumps of dough, roll them into a ball and then flatten into discs with a slight lip at the edges: I think these resemble fine artichoke hearts.
Take these rounds and add a scant teaspoon of chopped chicken and bring up the edges, all around, so that you have a ball, which you coax with your fingers into a bulbous pear shape. Place on a lined baking sheet and get on with the rest.
Heat the oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. You need to start frying when the oil is about 180ºC/350ºF. You don't really need a cooking thermometer: simply add a tiny ball of dough and if it starts fizzling straight away, and rising goldenly to the top of the pan instantly, the oil is hot enough. But while you wait for it to heat up, dip the coxinhas.
Beat the egg with the 125ml / ½ cup milk in one dish; tip the very fine breadcrumbs into another. Dip the coxinhas first into the egg mixture then into the sandy breadcrumbs, making sure they are well covered, then leave on a lined baking sheet.
When the oil is hot enough, deep-fry the coxinhas, about 5 at a time, until they are gorgeously golden, in about 2 minutes' time. Remove to a baking sheet lined with kitchen paper.
If you wish, you can keep your cooked coxhinas warm in a 120ºC/250ºF oven while you continue with the rest.
