Garlic chicken

Yeah, let's get started to our first recipe entry nyeh. I found the recipe from allrecipe.com. Instead of using chicken breast i used chicken thigh and spring onion instead of parsley and modified the measurement. here's my customised recipe fit for 2. Owh being a typical Malaysian, I can't help to "ala-kan-best-kalau-ade-sos-cili". hee

INGREDIENTS
1 egg
3 cloves garlic, chopped
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped spring onion
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper


DIRECTIONS



  1. In a glass dish, beat egg with garlic. Place chicken in egg mixture, and turn to coat. Cover dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.

  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  3. Melt butter and pour into the bottom of a baking dish. Mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, spring onion, salt and pepper. Dip marinated chicken in crumb mixture. Place coated chicken in baking dish, and pour remaining egg mixture over.

  4. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes on each side, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

YUMS! owh the picture is not that good tho, hehe. and that weird red thing is ketchup on bbq sauce.

Cheers from New York baby, this is my story!



Before I came here, I'm not much of a cook. Why? Malas is one thing (ya, saya mengaku saya malas), time factor is another thing and last but not least, it's quite infuriating how Mak would scrutinize the way I cook and how it'll turn out, expecting the dish to look and taste just like the way she does it. I know she means well, but still....

*sigh*

So anyway, being jauh di perantauan forces me to cook. And how I cook here, and I think I made a rather good job (oh bring the gag bag already!) despite the limitation of some ingredients and ehem.. $$$.

a z z u ra and I have two obvious things in common besides having the word 'wicked' in our email addy:

1. We love to eat
2. We wanna eat healthily

Thus along with our usual men-bashing talk, we swap knowledge on everything food and healthy living. Nutrition, howtomakethatpizzamargharitaohmygodsedapnya, how to work the abs properly - you can figure out the rest.

This blog would be my first blog to share all the food experiments that I made. Hopefully it'll inspire other 'kaki makan' on preparing healthy and yummy dishes.

Au revoir!

Greetings

Haha. a new blog for every "stuck in a moment" moment. I think this would be my 5th or 6th blog? kihkih.

This time it wd be different, where i won't blog about the "shiteziness" or "kebengongan" of the day I;ve been thru. It will be all about food. hehe. to be more specific, all the food that I have prepared here.

Kak Liza pun tanye what do I eat here. Makan nasi ke kat sini. Alang pun duk tanye, since I kat Malaysia dulu "malas" (heh, look who's talking!) nak masak, kat sini leh survive ke? hahaha. kat sini orang creative tau kat dapur.

I have invited another friend to contribute to this blog.. Miss plainwicked... hehe another wicked mind (hence the blog title!:D). She's another X scholar, but doing her master in New York. Since I can remember we have been sharing cooking tips intead of discussing Faculty's strategic planning for the ISO what-ever-things. Haha. Our typical conversation will be something like this...

wickedR: hey u. really pening la, assignment nih macam haaarrem jek nak buat
Pwicked: hoho. tell me that! I got heaps of reading to do by 6 tonight. Ade graded discussion.
wickedR: Hmm.. tough la takleh wat keja ni. Dah la dengan issue yang tak berkesudahan.
Pwicked: Owh, speaking of issues... Kitaro is so vavi... guy sucks-hate men-love them-hate them conversation apply here
WickedR: hmm ...in total agreement.... yeah.. so what do we do now?
Pwicked: what else. eat, so what's for dinner girl?

.... and how-t0-peel-avocado-easily will be discussed in great details here.
