Oven Baked Chicken Breasts

Oven Baked Chicken Breasts, eat well on universal credit

At £1.59 for two breasts from Farm Foods these are a pretty good deal. But we have found it the past that they can turn out a bit dry / tough. So hammering the living day lights out of them seems to work!!!!

Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts, beaten with a meat tenderising hammer
1 Tbsp of Brown Sugar
1 ½ Tsp of Paprika
1 Tsp of Oregano
1 Tsp of Adobo Mix
1/2 Tsp of Garlic Powder
½ Tsp of Onion Powder
¼ Tsp of Fresh ground Black Pepper
½ Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
3 Tbsp of (Home Made) Garlic Margarine

Method:-

(1) Pound the Chicken Breasts with a meat mallet to about 1/2” thick. (Think of a Politician who has do you and your family wrong!).
(2) Line a tray with Parchment paper.
(3) Add the Chicken Breasts and rub with Olive Oil.
(4) Combine all the other ingredients except the Garlic Margarine.
(5) Rub into the Chicken making sure everything is evenly coated.
(6) Place in the oven at 180c for 15 minutes.
(7) Pre-heat the grill.
(8) Add the Garlic Margarine to a pan. Drain off the cooking juices from the Chicken and add to the pan.
(9) Allow to simmer and reduce.
(10) Place the Chicken under the grill for 2 to 3 minutes until caramelised.
(11) Pour over the sauce and serve.


We served ours with hand cut chips, Sweetcorn and Asparagus wrapped in Bacon. The Asparagus is obviously coming to the end of season and was really woody. But apart from that, this was really good.

Chinese Curry Sauce

Obviously most folk would just go to a takeaway and buy a tub of Chinese Curry Sauce. But that’s not an option for Sue as it invariably contains Gluten. So last night we had a bit of a Special Fried Rice gig and Sue cobbled this together to go with it. I’d challenge anybody to tell it apart from the plastic tub version!

Ingredients:-

4 Tsp of Cornflour
1 Tsp of Curry Powder
½ Tsp of Chinese five Spice
¼ Tsp of Ground Ginger
¼ Tsp of Garlic Powder
2 Tsp of Gluten free Soy Sauce
2 Tsp of Chilli Sauce
240Ml of Vegetable Stock
1 Tbsp of Butter / Margarine
1 Tsp of Lemon Juice

Method:-

(1) Mix half of the Cornflour with the dry spices in a bowl.
(2) Melt the Margarine in a pan and add the Cornflour mix.
(3) Keep stirring over a low heat to create a roué.
(4) Slowly add the Stock stirring all the time.
(5) Add a little of the Stock to the remaining Cornflour in a jug and stir well.
(6) Add this to the pan along with the Lemon Juice, Soy Sauce and Chilli Sauce and cook gently until thickened.

I know I’m pretty disgusting, but I had some of the, now set, sauce with the left over Special Fried Rice for breakfast this morning!
