Chicken Schnitzel

Making use of left over whole wheat bread, I cooked some chicken schnitzel. My inspiration... Junior Masterchef Australia. :-) And since my boyfriend wants to eat it with rice and sauce, I made chicken liver adobo on the side.

You can find the original recipe here, For the pinoy version, check below. :-)

Good for two.

Ingredients:

4 pcs. chicken thigh fillet

3 pcs whole wheat bread

3 tbsp parmesan cheese

1 tsp rosemary

salt and pepper

1 egg

2 tbsp milk

1/2 cup plain flour

2 tbsps olive oil

Directions:

1. Process whole wheat bread and parmesan in a food processor until fine crumbs. Add rosemary and season with salt and pepper, process until finely chopped. Transfer to a plate.

2. Cut the chicken thighs horizontally into thin steaks. Place in between 2 sheets of cling film and lightly pound with the flat side of meat mallet to flatten.

3. Whisk egg and milk together in a bowl. Coat one piece of chicken in flour and shake to remove excess. Then dip the chicken into the egg mixture. Then coat the chicken in breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to coat. Repeat with remaining pieces of chicken and crumbing mixtures.

4. Heat olive oil and fry chicken thighs for 4 to 5 minutes each side.

5. Serve with rice or salad.

Braised Chicken with Ginger and Sesame Oil

Here's another recipe that I got from Yummy Magazine November 2007 issue. I cooked this last night and Ed, being the ginger lover that he is, loved this dish. I don't eat meat but I still enjoyed the sauce topped on my rice.

The recipe in the mag is for 4 people but I adjusted it for me and Edgar.

2 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
150 grams ginger sliced
1/4 kilo chicken (I used chicken breasts)
1 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 chicken broth cube
salt to taste
spring onions to garnish

1. Heat up the sesame oil in a wok and saute the ginger until fragrant.
2. Add the chicken pieces and soy sauce.
3. Brown the chicken.
4. Add water and the broth cube.
5. Simmer in low heat for 20 minutes.
6. Add salt to taste.
