mcrocker 0 #27 February 23, 2004 QuoteHey Guys, I am in serious need of an awesome finger licking recipe for Monday next week. I have forgotten how to cook since I started skydiving *food being too expensive, prefer jump tickets* simple is best.. Simple, Lemon chicken with Orso. You'll need: Chicken breast (pound it thin) Lemons (6 to 8 of them) Eggs Flour Butter Orso (In the pasta isle) Cans of chicken broth (College Inn, 4 BIG cans) 2 BIG frying pans. First, Melt a chunk of butter (doesn't really matter how much but use a lot) and brown the orso. Get it really really dark brown, Stir it around, it should end up tri-colored with shades of tan and really deep chocolate brown. Set the orso aside. Beat the crap out of the chicken (i.e. pound it thin). Dunk it in an egg wash, dredge it in seasoned flour (flour + black pepper). Fry in a pan with butter until golden brown. Brown up all of the chicken and set aside. You can do the above steps ahead of time and just keep everything in the fridge. Final prep.... Add chicken broth to the Orso, it is pasta after all and needs to boil in liquid to become tender. Keep watching the liquid content, add broth as needed. Treat it like rice. Don't let it dry out but don't drown it in broth. It will take about 20 minutes to cook up, nice an tender. Add chicken back to the frying pan. Add chicken broth and the juice of 3 to 4 lemons. Taste test it. It should be rather lemony and tart but not overpowering. The lemon flavor will get stronger the more you cook it. The excess flour from the chicken and the frying pan will thicken the broth into a gravy/sauce. Cook the chicken 20 minutes along with the orso. When everything is all yummy, serve the chicken on a bed of orso. Greenbeans are nice to serve on the side. Pretty simple, 2 pan meal that tastes AWESOME (if you like chicken and lemon that is). I also have a killer recipe for baked stuffed shrimp if you are interested. It is a bit more complex but very yummy :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
