Episode 603 - Cheesy Chicken Chop & Sweet Potato Soup

Hi all, been so busy that I have no time to update but more like too tired to update. Two recipes that I've been meaning to put up. Pretty simple in preparation just takes a bit of time to cook and all. A great combination for a Western style dinner and a very delicious one too! Haven't been out and about to places, just went to Al Fresco, Miri to have the fish umai last Friday and it was still da Bomb! My egg Omellete came soooo late that by the time it came, I was pretty much full from the tit bits and munchies of Honey wings with sesame and the Umai. Oh well, regardless had great time with the girls and such a good laugh. Just the right thing to do after a real hectic week.

So here goes...

Cheesy Chicken Chop

Ingredients: Whole Chicken breast; cut into 4-6 pieces (thicker pieces to be sliced into the middle & half it) & marinated with salt & pepper (leave aside for 1/2 hour),
A: 150g of Bread Crumbs 50g of grated Parmesan Cheese 50g of Grated Romano Cheese,
1 egg; beaten

Method: Mix all of A up and place onto a dish. Place the beaten egg into a deep dish too and take a piece of the chicken breast and dip it into the egg. Make sure the meat is thoroughly covered with egg, then cover it up with ingredients in A. Should also make sure that it's nicely covered with the crumbs and cheese. Repeat until all chicken pieces are used up. Preheat a non-stick pan and place a few tablespoons of olive oil. Pan fry the chicken breasts until they turn golden brown and turn and do the same. Should take around 3 minutes on each side.

Serves: 5 - 6

Serve with fresh crunchy garden salad and a slice of lemon.

Sweet Potato Soup

Ingredients: A: 1 litre of Water 200g of Chicken bones 150g of Sweet Potatoes; cut into cubes 1 medium sized carrot; cut into cubes 1 cube of Knorr Chicken Stock
B: 1/2 cup of cream or milk 3 tablespoons of Cream Cheese
C: 2 large Onions - sliced thinly & 1 Garlic - finely chopped

Method: Boil A up in a pot until potatoes & carrots are cooked through. While waiting for A to cook, soften the onions & garlic in a pan with a few tablespoon of olive oil. Should be done on low heat until onions becomes transparent. This will take a bit of time to be done. When both are done, sieve A up and place only the sweet potatoes and carrots in a blender and dump in the onions & garlic. In other words, remove the chicken bones. Put 2 cups of the chicken stock into the blender and blend everything up until smooth. Pour the blended ingredients back into the pot with the rest of the chicken stock. Pour in the milk or cream, cheese and some salt and pepper to taste. Stir and bring to boil. You can also add a few dashes of dried parsley.

Serves: 4

I hope that you try these out cos I bet they'll blow your mind off.
