SABRA CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, combine chicken parts, orange juice, wine, zest, salt, paprika and pepper.
• Allow it to marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.
• Lift the chicken out of the marinade; pat it dry and reserve the chicken& marinade separately.
• In a deep heavy skillet or shallow pan, large enough to hold the chicken in one layer, heat oil over medium-high heat.
• Brown the chicken on all sides; transfer it to a plate.
• In the same pan, cook the onions over low heat until they start to change color.
• Pour in the marinade and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Return the chicken to the pan and simmer it, partially covered, basting the chicken with the pan juices and turning the pieces over very low heat for about 35 minutes or until chicken juices run clear when flesh is pierced with a sharp knife.
• Transfer the chicken to a warm serving platter and keep it warm.
• Skim off any excess fat.
• Add olives to pan and boil rapidly over high heat until glossy and starting to thicken.
• Pour them over the chicken and sprinkle with mint.

SAVORY CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Season with ground black pepper to taste. Top each breast with a slice of cheese.
• Mix together the soup and milk and pour mixture over chicken. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and drizzle with melted butter/margarine. Bake covered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden brown.

CHICKEN SAAG

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and fry the chicken pieces until browned, about 8 minutes per side. Set the chicken aside.
• Place the spinach into a large pot with 1/4 cup of water, bring to a boil, cover the pan, and remove from heat. Allow the spinach to steam for about 10 minutes, then place into a blender, and blend until very finely chopped. Set the spinach aside.
• Place the onions, garlic, and ginger into the skillet, and fry over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, turmeric, cardamom, cloves, and salt; stir in 1 tablespoon water, and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Pour in the milk, stir to combine, and return the chicken pieces to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir the spinach and garam masala into the skillet, and cook until the spinach starts to stick to the pan, about 15 minutes.
• Stir in sour cream, and bring the mixture just to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in butter.

SAFFRON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Toast the saffron strands in a dry pan over a medium heat for about 1 minute taking care not to burn them.
• Cool, and then crush them with the back of a spoon.
• Dissolve them in 1 tablespoon of very hot water.
• Heat the ghee (or whatever you use), and gently fry the onion, garlic, ginger and chillis until the onion is soft and golden.
• Add garlic.
• Add the dissolved saffron to the pan with the cardomon, then add the chicken.
• Turn the chicken pieces in the mix, coating well.
• Add the salt, cover and cook for 25 minutes until the chicken is tender.
• Uncover the pan and continue cooking, turning often until the liquid is almost gone.
