One Recipe Two Meals Chicken Kebabs Recipes

ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine the panko, Italian seasoning, 1/3 cup Parmesan and a pinch of salt. In one more shallow dish, beat the eggs.
• Set a shallow cooling rack in a baking sheet. Take each cube of chicken and lightly dredge it in the flour. Dip it in the egg wash, then roll it in the panko. Continue until all of the chicken cubes are coated in panko. Arrange on the cooling rack set in the baking sheet and bake, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve these baked nuggets with a side of steamed broccoli and a little bit of ketchup for dipping! Your kids will freak out.
• Now for your mature palate: Proceed with the pounded chicken, in the same fashion as the nuggets. First the flour, then the egg, then a good coating of the panko. Arrange the chicken on the rack on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown on both sides, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the linguine in a pot of salted water until it is al dente and drain, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water. Transfer the pasta back to the pot. Add the butter, parsley, juice from half the lemon, the reserved pasta water and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and give it all a good toss.
• To dress it up a tad more, slice the remaining half lemon, then sear a few lemon slices in a small saute pan-so fancy.
• Serve the baked chicken over the pasta and serve with extra Parmesan!

ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS CHICKEN LO MEIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lo mein noodles until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain, and drizzle with a little bit of sesame or olive oil, to keep the noodles from sticking. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the Chinese 5-spice powder and a small pinch of salt. Continue to cook until the seasoning coats the chicken, about 30 seconds.
• At this point, set aside about 3/4 cup of the noodles with 1/2 cup of the chicken. Divide that between two small plates, and drizzle a tablespoon of orange juice over both plates. Garnish with a few mandarin orange wedges and a tiny bit of scallions, if your kids dig it! Serve it to your littles.
• Now, for you. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, olive oil, and the remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice. Pour the mix over the remaining ground chicken in your skillet, and bring the heat back up (if you've turned it down, to tend to the kids). Add the bean sprouts and bell pepper and cook, stirring, 3 more minutes, so the flavors have time to marry. Add the remaining noodles to the pan and toss to combine.
• Serve with fresh lime wedges and the remaining scallions! Good grief, almighty. Eat!

CHICKEN KABOBS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Thread the chicken, green bell pepper, onion, and red bell pepper pieces onto skewers alternately.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place kabobs on the prepared grill, and brush with barbeque sauce. Cook, turning and brushing with barbeque sauce frequently, for 15 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear.

ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil in a large saute pan. Add the chicken to the pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; sear on one side for 3 minutes. Flip and sear until you see nice browning all over, another minute or two. Remove the chicken and set aside.
• Add the thawed veggies to the pan to simply warm through.
• In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and boil for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let stand for about 5 minutes. Drain the noodles.
• At this point you're ready to serve the kids! Using tongs, grab a small mound of noodles and plate them. Top with the warm veggies and a few slices of chicken. If your kids can dig a little scallion, by all means, garnish away! Sesame seeds are fun, too.
• Now let's continue on for our adult mouth holes.
• Back in the saute pan, bring another tablespoon or two of sesame oil to a medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and lemongrass. Let bloom and saute for about 30 seconds, then add the red bell pepper and snow peas. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Toss and saute a couple of minutes, until the veggies slightly soften and pop in color.
• Add the chicken to the pan, along with as many noodles as you can fit. Add the soy sauce, lime juice and maybe 1 more tablespoon of sesame oil. Toss everything together to coat.
• Serve on a huge platter (or individual plates) garnished with scallions and sesame seeds!

CHICKEN KEBABS

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, oregano, coriander, paprika, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until fully blended. Add the chicken and mix to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers, about 5 pieces per skewer, taking care not to pack the chicken pieces too tightly.
• Grill the skewers until the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should register 165 degrees F), about 4 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN BOTI KEBABS

Steps:

• Chicken
• Smash garlic with a mortar and pestle to make a paste (you should have 1 Tbsp.) and transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat process with ginger (you should also have 1 Tbsp. You can also finely chop and then smash the garlic and ginger with the side of a chef's knife on a cutting board if you don't have a mortar and pestle.) Add yogurt, oil, salt, coriander, cayenne, and cumin to bowl and whisk to combine. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes, or chill up to 4 hours.
• Sumac onions
• Toss red onion, sumac, and salt in a small bowl to coat; set aside.
• Hari chutney and assembly
• Purée lime juice, chile, garlic, cilantro, mint, and ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a food processor or blender until smooth and pourable. If you prefer a thinner chutney, drizzle in 1-3 Tbsp. ice water a tablespoonful at a time, processing until you reach the desired consistency. Taste and season chutney with more salt if needed. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Place sour cream in another small bowl and add 2 Tbsp. chutney; whisk to combine. Season herbed sour cream with salt. Cover both remaining chutney and herbed sour cream separately and chill until ready to serve.
• Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, taking care not to pack it too tightly. Grill, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and charred in spots, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a platter and slide chicken from skewers. (Alternatively, broil skewers on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, turning once, about 5 minutes per side.)
• Spread reserved herbed sour cream on cut sides of buns. Stuff buns with chicken, cucumber slices, and reserved sumac onions and drizzle with chutney. Do ahead: Hari chutney and herbed mayo can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
