The Sandwich Chronicles: Chicken Tandoori

As I said in my previous entry, I broiled one of the leftover marinated chicken breasts I did not use and made myself a sandwich. It was a super delicious sandwich!!
After slightly toasting two slices of Tuscan bread, I spread a little bit of butter all over the slices. I also took some of the leftover sauce, from the broiling pan, and used it as a spread. I shredded the chicken breast and placed it onto one slice of bread. I also added provolone cheese - which melted a bit because of the hot chicken - two strips of bacon and lettuce. Was it yummy? Why, yes! Yes, it was. My tummy was very happy, indeed.

Chicken Tandoori

Well, I made dinner again last night. First off, I'd like to say that this recipe wins. And I totally owned it.
Check it! - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/chicken-tandoori-recipe/index.html
My results were delish. Juicy, tangy, pop-in-your-mouth chicken.
I changed it up a bit, though. I didn't put any remaining yogurt sauce on top of the chicken. It tasted so yummy, it didn't need anything extra. It's a very flavourful chicken dish. I'll try it out next time I cook this, though. Oh yes, there will be a next time!

Anyway, moving on. Rather than using chicken thighs, I used chicken breasts. Instead of cooking rice to serve on the side, I served linguine with alfredo sauce and poppy seeds mixed in. My mother made a salad, which is a recipe she got from a restaurant called Jarrett's. Speaking of salad, I'll have to write an entry about different salads some time soon. And that one about sides is coming up, I swear!

Anyway, I had some leftover chicken to broil for lunch today. Yes! Another entry for the Sandwich Chronicles! But not now, I'll save it for the next entry.

Chicken Satay Stir-Fry

I said I was going to make dinner last night! Which is exactly what I did. And it was delicious.
I used a Rachael Ray recipe I found on Food Network's website. I definitely recommend this dish to anyone who likes peanut butter.
The only difference between my dish and the original recipe is that I didn't use snow peas. I used sugar snap peas instead - I couldn't find snow peas at the store! Next time I think I'll try it with edamame.
I don't need to type out how to cook this. Here's the recipe: Chicken Satay Stir-Fry with Orange Scented Jasmine Rice.

My opinion on this dish - excellent. The sauce was fabulous; great texture. I love the colours, what with the green veggies and red bell pepper. It's got a bit of a kick to it, too, from the pepper flakes in the sauce. It's so yummy!! The rice is phenomenal. I think that every time I cook rice, I'll have to use the zest from citrus fruits from now on. It's tangy, but it's not an overwhelming taste. I love it!
