More Cooking

Having bought chicken and vegetables this week, I ended up making the following:
  • Baked chicken using a marinade rub.   The rub is pretty good, and the dish turned out fine.  I had intended to make rotisserie chicken; but, forgot to use that setting on the oven (maybe next time)
  • Brussel Sprouts with honey mustard sauce.   The honey mustard actually balances out well with the natural "bitterness" of the vegetable.  I did blanch them first in water (next time, probably should do it for a shorter time).
  • Tex-mex chicken with vegetables, which turned out to be more of a chicken vegetable soup (with corn, tomatoes, and broccolli)
  • Broccolli stir-fry.  I used Hoisin sauce; but, the oyster sauce is much better.  However, adding the fish sauce was a good little accent.
  • Ginger Mushroom Chicken.  This actually turned out really well.   I cut the chicken breast into thin slices and added honey and cornstarch.   Over high heat, I put ginger, garlic, and mushroom in a pan; and then put in the chicken and teriyaki sauce.  The chicken turned out to be flavorful and juicy.
  • Chicken Breast.   This was really simply done with just oil on high heat; and then sprinkled with a chicken seasoning while cooking.   The pounding of the meat till it was tender and even really helped.
I am grateful for the blessings and provisions of food; and a chance to experiment with cooking.
