Arroz con Pollo recipe, Eat Well on Universal Credit

Around the World for £4 Or Less took us to “H” for Honduras yesterday evening.
 
This recipe was supposed to be sufficient for four. Actually you could easily serve six substantial portions. So you might want to reduce the ingredient quantities!

2 tbs Oil
2 Carrots, cut into batons
1/3 Leek, cut into chunks

2 bullet Chillies, sliced
1 tbs Salt
½ tbs Black Pepper
1 tbs Curry powder
1 tbs Chilli powder
1 Bouquet Garni
1 small Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1 Lime cut into wedges

(1) Add all the ingredients except the Rice, Bell Pepper and Peas to a large pan with water and bring to the boil.
(2) Simmer for 30 minutes.
(3) Remove the Chicken and allow to cool.
(4) Strain the stock from the other cooked ingredients and set aside.
(5) Cut the cooked Chicken from the bone into rough cubes.
(6) In a frying pan add the Oil and Rice and fry until the rice has taken on a little colour.

Chicken Poppers recipe

Some folk like to go to McWimpy or Whopper King for their Chicken Poppers / Nuggets. We’d rather cook them at home and know what’s in them. Both Sue and I have done our time it those sorts of restaurants. But really it’s so easy and quick…..

Ingredients:-

Chicken Breast cut into 2Cm cubes
Soda Water
Self Raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Garlic Salt
Ground Cloves
Ground Turmeric

Method:-

(1) Mix the dry ingredients with enough Soda Water to make a stiff batter.
(2) In a bowl with a little extra Flour coat the Chicken so that the batter will stick better.
(3) Heat a fryer to 180c.
(4) Coat small batches of Chicken pieces and fry until golden brown. If you have a kitchen probe you are looking for 75c in the middle.
(5) Drain on kitchen paper before serving.

We served ours with hand cut chips and home made Coleslaw. A little fresh Parsley added a bit of colour.
