Chicken – Turkish Recipe – Super Simple

This is what I had at Nilgun’s iftaar party the other night. I tried it and it is super simple!!

First let me mention the menu she had that night! We started off with lentil soup (courtesy Nur), there was spring roll borek, then salad, nuts, dates, everything laid out beautifully. Then the main course there was bulgur pilaf (I will post the recipe for that soon), cauliflower and broccoli baked in milk cheese sauce (besemal sos), this chicken, baked peppers, green beans in tomato sauce, and eggplant dip. Finally for dessert we had sekerpare (again courtesy Nur). YUMMMM! That’s all I have to say!!!

Ok, now the recipe.

Ingredients:

chicken breast boneless, chopped in bite size pieces,
1 onion, grated
red pepper,
black pepper,
salt,
oregano/curry powder
lemon juice,
milk
oil
Method:

Marinate the chicken in all of the above ingredients for atleast overnight. Then cook in a pan, till all the water evaporates, and the pieces look shiny. DONE!!!!  mmmm, now what was I saying, super Simple?

Fresh Fruit Sundae

Now, this is what I call a guilt-free dessert!You will see what I mean, just take a look at the ingredients! And oh, so so quick and easy, even a kid could make it. I had this at Marty’s house. She and Mike are our neighbors, who are great, extremely friendly and helpful. They have the best curb appeal on the block. She works hard to keep it that way.
Ingredients:

Cantaloupe (chopped in little bite size pieces),

strawberry (chopped in little bite size pieces),

Vanilla Ice cream,

nuts (walnuts/toasted almonds/pecans etc)

Method:

Take a nice fancy glass (like a martini glass), and then layer these one on top of the other, any way you like it. The way Marty made it is: first the cantaloupe pieces, a scoop of ice cream, then strawberries, finally nuts.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!! :)
