Chicken bread.


 



Ingredients

500g Bread flour

12g Fast active yeast

150 mls water

150 mls milk

1/2 tsp sugar

Pinch of salt

2 breast chicken

Coriander

Parsley

Garlic

30 mls whipping cream



Method

Add all ingredients in the mixer on a low speed for about 6-8 minutes.

When the dough is properly mixed, put in on a floured surface and knead it for about 4 minutes

Put the door in a bowl and cover with a wet towel and let it rise, double its size.

Meanwhile cook chicken cut into cubes, fry with white onion, garlic, coriander and parsley.

Add whipping cream and simmer for 2 minutes, and let it cool down.

When the dough has risen, knead it for a few minutes just to knock the air out.

With a rolling pin, roll out your dough to your desired size, rectangular shape and cut little strips of about 3-4cms on one side.

Put the chicken on the end without the cut strips and start rolling the dough like a wrap towards the strips.

When you get to the strips, over lap the strips on top of the roll and glaze with egg wash.

Transfer to a lined baking tray and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Enjoy.

DOUBLE STACK QUESADILLA

DOUBLE STACK QUESADILLA-SERVES 2


INGRIDIENTS

3 Tortilla wraps
Spinach
Red, yellow and green peppers
Leeks
Mushrooms
1 chicken breast
Grated cheddar cheese
Butter or oil


METHOD

* Cut the peppers and leeks and fry in little butter or oil.
* If you are using chestnut mushrooms, i suggest you fry them on their own as they tend to ruin thecolour of the other vegetables, if you are using button mushrooms, you can fry them together with the leeks and peppers.
*Fry the chicken until cooked.
* Spread the vegetables on the tortilla, leaving a little space on the edges to avoid spillage.
* Sprinkle cheese on top of the vegetables and put another tortilla wrap.
* Repeat the same process but this time with the chicken and sprinkle cheese on top and cover with the last tortilla wrap.
* Lift the quesadilla very gently onto heated griddle or pan and cook for a minute or so and carefully flip it over and cook the other side. You might want to use a large plate to help you flip it over.
* SERVE HOT AND ENJOY.
