Simple chicken recipe

Lesson COK1011

Who say cooking is hard? It is very simple and need a bit of creativity as well as as time. Just a little bit of time, you will be able to cook one nice and healthy meal for yourself. Rather than having yourself called up for deliveries and waste your money on unhealthy outside food.

Today I am going to introduce a way to cook a simple and quick dinner by using micro oven. When you browse on the web, usually people will teach on how to use the micro wave instead. However, a dinner for one or two person, using a micro oven will be much easier. Like always, as a lazy person trying to get a good meal, I always think of the quickest and easiest way to do so. Today I feel like eating fried chicken tight, but it will be a hassle for me to prepare the frying pan and the oil as well as marinate the chicken and dip it in flour before cooking. I am only cooking for me and MYSELF!!

Simple. The ingredient:
A pinch of salt
Black pepper
some nicely chopped garlic
and of cause the chicken tight
Defrost the chicken tight well before you start anything. For places with cold weather such as in Australia during the Autumn season, get the chicken out as early as 6 hours before and leave it outside. Reminder: Please leave it at a clean place.
After that, rub some salt on it and sprinkle some black pepper as well as the chopped garlic on top. Now, you can leave it awhile to marinate the chicken for a bit. Simple? The total time you going to spend from taking the chicken out and marinate it is only 5 minutes in the kitchen. Later on, set the micro oven to 50% of its power and leave the chicken inside for 20-25 minutes. It will be cooked by then. In the mean time, you can prepare simple vegetable or other side dishes to go with it.
Today, I prepared steam broccoli and a sunny side up egg. Total time I used in the kitchen is around 30 minutes. It is about the same time as you ordered pizza delivery.
My meal
You can also steam a potato or half instead of frying an egg. By
doing so, you can steam it with the broccoli. While waiting for my chicken and broccoli to be cooked, I can read up my things a bit, chat on msn as well eat up some of my house mate Belgium chocolate. Simple and easy?



Some of the cons of using the micro oven:
You don't need to add oil to cook your food. In the mean time, it can heat out the oil from your poultry. You don't need to be with the food while cooking. By using the correct timing and temperature, the food is cooked more evenly than cooking it in pan.

Always remember, anyone can cook too. Just a bit of creativity and passion for it.

So.. Debbie,learn from your mistake and you will be a good cook. Haha.
