Cooking with Crypticat: Chicken and Veggies

Hi Everyone,

Today I made a simple, delicious and somewhat healthy meal: a cross between a chicken stew and a stirfry. This is a one pot meal but you can always warm up some flatbread or make some rice if you wish. It can also be made healthier if you bake the chicken but that complicates things. It should be made to your taste, it's scalable and takes about 40 minutes-the best thing is there are very few dishes.

Must have Ingredients:

Chicken Breast, Onions, Salt, Oil.

Other Ingredients, non-essential but today I used:
Garlic, Mini-Peppers, Mixed-Frozen Veggies (saves time), Soul seasoning (similar to allspice), pepper, paprika, fresh basil, lime juice, Italiano seasoning, ginger, crushed chili peppers, turmeric, coriander, cumin and a some hot sauce.

Directions:

Put some oil in a large pan on medium heat
Add the entire chicken breast
Add chopped onions after you sear each side of the breast
Add peppers, garlic, mushrooms and whatever else needs longer to cook, cover
Remove chicken, after about 20 minutes or so, turn down the heat, cube the chicken
Add the chicken back, add spices, add anything that doesn't need long to cook and spices, turn the heat back up
Stir, cover, wait and serve

Between adding stuff and stirring you can chop the vegetables, set the table and clean to save time. You also don't have to use chicken breast and can substitute anything, ensure it's not undercooked or dry. You can also add water, stock, flour etc. to make it into a stew. I've added potatoes but you should boil them first along with any other roots. Sometimes I cook rice to eat it over and often have flatbread with it.

Bye for Meow 😸 mRrrrrrr....

Simple easy one pot and not picky with ingredients. I like. Sometimes i make a version with lemon ginger and honey marinade. It's sticky but good. I can use peftover marinade for tea.

Don't use much honey or sugar in my cooking, its cheating! Lemon and ginger are staples though, today I found a lime in the fridge so that was used instead of the lemon juice.

Dayuuummmm! Cryptikitty has some cooking skills. Looked good! Almost like a chicken hash. Yum!

You could call it that 😺

That looks absolutely delicious. My kind of meal .... great I'm hungry again !

These are the best types of meals to make, good for lunch the next day too. The bag of frozen veggies really saves time

I am 100 % making that tomorrow. I don't think there is going to be any left for the next day :P

I just wanted to come back and say that I indeed made this. Sorry no pics .. it didn't last long enough for me to take one. Sadly I was all out of onions so mine contained none.

If you have enough veggies and spices it should be fine-even just chicken and a pinch of salt is great if you're a cat. Onions bring out flavor in food and they're inexpensive

It still tasted great. Onions would have just made it taste better :)
