Tips to Prepare Chicken Cutlet

If you want to prepare the perfect garlic lemon chicken then you should try this recipe. This is one of the easiest and best recipes around for creating delicious garlic lemon chicken.

Let's get all of the ingredients together that you will need to prepare this wonderful chicken dish. You can either purchase a whole chicken and then cut it into pieces or just buy the cuts that your family enjoys such as chicken thighs or breasts. You will also need 10 cloves of minced garlic, 4 tablespoons of margarine, 3 large lemons, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley.

Perhaps somewhat misleading with its name, Outback does indeed serve foods other than steak. I love the chicken dishes from this Steakhouse. I thought maybe I can make these dishes myself, rather than dragging my family out to dinner, where we will inevitably wait for an hour, and then spend the meal coaxing my son to eat something other than bread, and to stop throwing his rejected pile of food on the floor.

Here's an excellent low-fat chicken recipe using the classic combination of Pernod, saffron, garlic, tomatoes and olive oil. The taste is truly sensational!

Mix together one tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, 125ml of Pernod (or other pastis), a few strands of saffron and some salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over eight unskinned chicken portions and mix well together. Leave for a couple of hours (or even overnight) for the flavours to develop.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place chicken in an oblong baking dish. Bake, covered, for 15 minutes at 425 degrees; drain. In a 2-qt saucepan, combine the tomatoes, cornstarch, basil, oregano and the pepper sauce, if using. Cook the tomato mixture, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour the hot sauce over the chicken and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.

Return chicken to oven the bake, uncovered, for 5 more minutes. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.

Directions: 1. Put potatoes, celery, carrots and chicken into the slow cooker. 2. Mix soups, seasonings, milk and water together and pour over vegetables and chicken. 3. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender. (You can cook on high for 4-5 hours but results are better on low). 4. Add peas during the last ½ hour of cooking. 5. To make the dumpling batter: mix flour, salt, baking powder & parsley together; add egg, melted butter and milk to dry ingredients. Use enough milk to make a soft dough. 6. Turn heat on slow cooker to high and drop 6 spoonfuls of the batter on top of stew. 7. Cover and cook for approx. 30 minutes or until dumplings are well done. (The dumplings will expand to touch each other during the cooking, so separate them with a knife about half way through to make sure the dough on the sides gets cooked as well).

Hint: Check the stew before you add the dumpling batter to make sure there is plenty of liquid.

You can add a can of chicken broth or water if necessary to make sure you have lots of gravy once the dumplings are cooked.

Enjoy!
