Key Lime Chicken Breasts

chicken breasts
key lime to cover
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
a clove of minced garlic
a few fresh torn basil leaves
salt and pepper.

Let marinate several hours or overnight if possible. Drain and either pan saute, grill, etc.

As you saute and the chicken breasts are almost done, add some of the drained reserved marinade and let cook and bubble in the pan over the breasts until hot and bubbly. All the flavors blend so nicely.

Note key lime juice is available in jars or may be available as fresh limes where you are and is more intense in flavor than the regular limes available in my opinion.

Chicken Mac (couldn't resist) Nuggets

1 pound chicken breasts, tenders or thigh meat
2 large eggs
2 cups macadamia nut flour (approx. 150-175 grams)
1 1/2 tsp sea salt (we use a red variety from Hawaii. Table salt may be saltier so adjust accordingly)
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp herbs of choice (we like basil and parsley. You might also try marjoram, oregano, thyme...)
oil for frying

Crack eggs into a small bowl and beat slightly

Mix together nut flour, salt and herbs in a medium bowl

Pat chicken dry and cut into bite-sized pieces

Coat chicken pieces in beaten egg, and allow excess to drip off. Place egg-coated pieces into nut mixture and coat thoroughly. Place on a plate while oil heats.

Add about 1/4 inch of oil to a heavy frying pan and heat to medium or medium-high, depending on your stove.

Fry coated pieces, probably in two batches, for a few minutes on each side or until golden and toasted.

Remove cooked pieces to a clean, towel-lined plate and cook second batch.

Notes: In every past attempt, the tasty coatings I created always either fell off when I flipped the pieces or burned in the bottom of the pan. This time, I used a slotted spoon and a chopstick, rather than tongs or a spatula, to flip the pieces and they turned out beautifully. Also, the second batch will cook more quickly than the first, so be ready!

Mole Verde

Mexico is a country of thousands of delicious sauces and green mole (mole verde) is one of them. Traditionally, this is made with herbs and greens, while the sauce is known as "pipián" with nuggets and other ground seeds. This recipe uses both seeds (pumpkin seed) and green leaves. It requires many ingredients, but the technique is simple.

1 chicken
Water
1 carrot
4 celery sticks
1 onion, peeled, halved
250g pumpkin seeds
1/2 large onion
3 garlic cloves
8 jalapeños chillies
1 can green tomatillos
1 head lettuce (romaine works well)
Leaves of 1 bunch of radishes
1 large bunch fresh coriander
1 lime

Put the chicken in a large pot and cover with water. Add the carrot, onion and celery and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan. Cook for around 1 hour 15 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken), until the chicken is cooked through. You might need to top the water up to keep the chicken submerged.

Roast the pepitas for about 5 minutes (pumpkin seeds) in a dry pan on the hob or in the oven at 180°C on a baking tray with no oil. Once they're roasted, set aside to cool and place in a blender or food processor and grind to a fine powder.

Wash and dry the lettuce leaves and radish leaves. Blend these with the coriander, tomatillos, chillies, onion and garlic, adding a ladle or two of the chicken stock from the pot to get a thick sauce.

Put the mixture in a pan and add the pumpkin seed powder to achieve the consistency desired, adding more ladles of stock if necessary to keep the sauce runny. Stir until it thickens and add salt at the end.

Remove the chicken from the pot and divide into individual servings: breast, wings, thighs.

Serve a portion of the cooked chicken covered with the mole sauce and top with more fresh chopped coriander. Add a few drops of lime to finish.

Chicken and Sweet Potatoes With Shallots

1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
salt and black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (each 6 ounces)
4 shallots, sliced into thin rings
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh rosemary

Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover and bring to a boil.

Add 1 teaspoon salt, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 14 to 16 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, drain the sweet potatoes, and return them to the pot. Mash with the reserved cooking water.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to plates.

Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until the shallots are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Serve the chicken with the potatoes and drizzle with the shallot mixture.

African-Style Chicken with Squash

This recipe uses many of the flavors of East African cooking. We have provided a simple spice rub for everyday use, as well as a more authentic, more complex spice paste inspired by the classic berbere of Ethiopia. You might want to first try the simpler version, then make the East African mix when you feel like spending some time with your spices. With the chicken, squash, and ginger, this creates a one-pot dinner that is both earthy and rich; for a slightly sour finish, we throw some lemon juice in the pot, which I think works well with the ginger. Serves 4 as entrée.

3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup oil (approximately)
1 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 butternut or 2 small acorn squash, peeled and cut in to small chunks
2 ripe tomatoes, diced small
1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

1. Make the spice rub: In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Rub the chicken pieces well with the spice mix, reserving about 1/4 cup. (You may substitute the more complex East African Spice Mix No. 3.)

2. Heat the oil in a large, wide stockpot over low heat until it is hot but not smoking. Add the chicken pieces and cook slowly (resisting the temptation to turn the heat to high, which would burn the spice rub) until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes, adding a bit more oil if needed. Remove and set aside.

3. Add the onions to the pan in which the chicken was cooked, turn the heat to medium high, and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stiring occasionally, for 1 additional minute.

4. Add the squash, tomatoes, and chicken stock, along with the browned chicken, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a peek inside one of the chicken pieces shows no traces of pink.

5. Add the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

Chicken Legs with Dill

I sprinkle each with dill seasoning and black pepper and brown til golden in olive oil and then put a lid on and simmer until done. Lift lid, turn up the heat a bit to brown. OR you can use fresh dill and add it during the steaming part. Also good using rendered goose fat. (Save the bones for stock.)

Chicken Thighs with Judi's Suggestions

I love chicken thighs, just fried in the pan with some Jse. mushrooms.

I also make a lot of curry (Thai, Indian, Pakistani, Japanese) and spicy (Malaysian) dishes with them.

I use a lot of ginger, garlic, onion, and chili peppers as the base. Fry the chicken pieces in it (use lots of coconut oil) Then I add the curry ingredients to fry. I buy them at an ethnic food store. I add honey and a little coconut milk. Last I add veggies. I like okra and carrots best. The indian curry also takes some tomato but sometimes I skip it.

For the more Malaysian recipe, I marinate in advance the thighs in coriander, cumin, and a can of whole tomato. Do the garlic, ginger, chili, onion fry as above. Add the thighs and cook a bit, then bay leaf and honey. Followed by coconut milk. Followed by veggies.

Or a Malaysian chili dish. Marinate the chicken in tumeric and salt to fry nicely. Fry it with garlic, onion, ginger, chili peppers. Add honey. Add a little tomato paste.

I make these dishes also with fish, usually bonito because it stays firm.

Chicken Thighs Mexican Chicken

This is a fabulous dish because chipotle chiles are so delicious. I have used the kind con adobo (canned with a sauce) but there are non paleo ingredients in that by anyone's standards and I am avoiding tomato, so here I use dried chipotles. (Chipotles, by the way, are smoked jalapeno peppers.)

2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless/skinless
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup water
2 onions (white or brown) peeled and quartered
8 - 10 green onions, peeled and rough chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and quartered
4 - 6 chipotle chiles, dried, (how much heat do you want?)
4 tspns of cumin seeds, briefly roasted in a pan, then ground (or pre-ground cumin)
8 black peppercorns
salt
1/4 cup fresh, chopped cilantro (use the stems, leaves, everything)

garnish:
two red/yellow/orange bell peppers
one onion for sautéed onion rings
olive oil
salt

Heat olive oil in a dutch oven or similar pan over medium burner. Brown chicken thighs with salt and half the cumin. Then add a little water, cover and continue cooking until done.

Meanwhile, put all the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.

Remove the chicken when done, but leave the liquid. Boil until reduced to a thick syrup. On high heat, add the sauce from the food processor all at once. Cook on high, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Lower the heat, add the chicken until hot. Add cilantro and serve with the garnish

Delicious with greens such as kale, chard, etc.

To make the garnish:
heat broiler. Cut bell peppers into four surfaces. Put on aluminum foil and stick under broiler until blackened. Remove and wrap up in the foil. A few minutes later, open foil (careful -- hot!) and peel. Cut into slices

Meanwhile, heat a bit of olive oil. Cut onion into rings. Toss in the olive oil until sautéed. Add the bell peppers.

Fajitas on Smashed Sweet Potato

Marinate sliced chicken breast in jerk seasoning for at least one hour. Brown in skillet. Remove from skillet, saute sliced bell peppers, onions and mushrooms until just tender. Return chicken to skillet, warm through. Serve this atop a "smashed" baked sweet potato, or stuffed inside baked delicata squash, OR, if you want to be totally paleo, on top of a huge bed of lettuce. Serve with guacamole and sliced fresh scallions, and real ginger ale (none of that supermarket stuff).

"Breaded" Chicken Strips

I made some chicken strips that I breaded with dried onions and sesame seeds. Just dip chicken (or whatever) in egg, then roll in a mixture of equal parts dried onion and sesame seeds. I fried them in olive oil, but I'm sure you could use side pork drippings. You can grind up the dried onions to make a flour and forget the sesame seeds if you didn't want it so crispy.

Indian-Spiced Chicken and Asparagus

This easy chicken-and-asparagus sauté is boldly seasoned with aromatic cumin and fennel; the seeds are toasted in a skillet before grinding to bring out the most flavor.

1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 pound chicken tenders, cut into bite-size chunks
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
2 tablespoons oil, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small fresh chile, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 bunches asparagus (about 1 1/2 pounds), woody ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup coconut milk (see Tip)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Toast cumin and fennel seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Finely grind in a spice grinder (such as a clean coffee grinder) or with a mortar and pestle.

Toss chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.

Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, garlic, chile and ginger; cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add asparagus, sprinkle with the remaining spice mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer for 2 minutes more. Return the chicken and any accumulated juice to the pan and cook until the chicken is just cooked through and the asparagus is tender-crisp, about 2 minutes more. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.

Tip: Refrigerate leftover coconut milk for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months. It will appear separated when thawed; simply mix until smooth.

Malay-Style Chicken Sweet Potato Stew with Coconut Milk, Ginger, and Chiles

1/2 cup arrowroot
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 2 1/2 pound chickens, cut up
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh chile of your choice
4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup oil (approx)
3 tablespoons minced ginger
5 tablespoons prepared curry powder
2 quarts chicken stock
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk

1. In a small bowl, combine the arrowroot, cayenne, cinnamon, and cloves and mix well.

2. Dredge the chicken pieces in the spiced arrowroot. In a large, wide stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer, being careful not to crowd the pan--work in batches if necessary. Cook until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. As the chicken is browned, remove to a platter.

3. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions, and cook until they just begin to color, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, curry powder, and chile and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more. Add the stock, the browned chicken, and the sweet potatoes, return to a simmer, and cook for about an hour, covered, until a peek inside one of the pieces of chicken shows that it is cooked through.

4. Add the coconut milk and continue to cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the cilantro, mix well, and serve. Serves 6 to 8 as an entree.

Jamaican Curried Chicken

Depending on where in Jamaica you ask how to make curried chicken, you will probably be told one of two techniques. The first is to rub the chicken with limes, dust with curry powder, and let the chicken sit overnight before cooking. The second is to sear the chicken before adding any of the other ingredients. Whichever technique you choose to employ, the addition of a whole Scotch bonnet pepper during the simmering will guarantee a spicy chicken. Enjoy.

2 3-pound chickens, cut into 8 pieces each
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup coconut oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 scallions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Jamaican Curry Powder
1 teaspoon ground pimento (allspice)
3 thyme sprigs
1 ounce ginger root, peeled and finely diced
1 cup coconut milk
1 chayote squash, peeled
2 carrots, sliced 1/8-inch thick

Either (1) soak the chicken with the lime juice, sprinkle with curry powder, and marinate the chicken overnight, or (2) sear the chicken in a hot pan, then remove it. Pour the lime juice over it, and set it aside.

In a dutch oven heat the coconut oil. Add the garlic, scallions, black pepper, curry powder, pimento, thyme, and ginger, and cook till the scallion is bright green. Add the chicken (whether marinated or seared) and simmer it, covered, over low heat for about 10 minutes. Add the coconut milk, chayote, and carrots. Cook the mixture for 30 to 40 minutes, covered.

1/4 to 1/2 cup Berberé paste
3/4 cup Water or stock
1/4 cup Red wine
from 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper -- to taste
4 Hard-boiled eggs (optional)

Mix together the chicken pieces, lemon juice and salt and in a large, non-reactive bowl and set aside to marinate for about 30 minutes.

While the chicken is marinating, purée the onions, garlic and ginger in a food processor or blender. Add a little water if necessary.

Heat the oil, butter or niter kibbeh in a large pot over medium flame. Add the paprika and stir in to color the oil and cook the spice through, about 1 minute. Do not burn. Stir in the berberé paste and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the onion-garlic-ginger purée and sauté until most of the moisture evaporates and the onion cooks down and loses its raw aroma, about 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to burn.

Pour in the water or stock and wine and stir in the chicken pieces, cayenne to taste, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Add water as necessary to maintain a sauce-like consistency.

Add the whole hard boiled eggs and continue to cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and very tender.

Adjust seasoning and serve hot with injera bread or rice.

Variations

Traditionally, the puréed onions are cooked first in a dry pan without any oil. The liquid evaporates out and they take on a unique toasted flavor. If you'd like to try this method, just make sure your flame isn't so high it burns the onions, and stir constantly. Then add the oil, ghee or niter kibbeh, paprika and the berberé and proceed with the recipe.

Sik Sik Wat: Substitute 2 pounds of cubed stewing beef for the chicken.

Vegetable Wat: Substitute 2 pounds of small zucchini, halved and quartered. Proceed with the recipe, but just cook long enough for the zucchini to be cooked through and soft.

Doro Alich'a: Eliminate the paprika and berberé and substitute white wine for the red wine.

Lamb or fish may also be substituted for the chicken in this recipe.

Chicken breast can be used, but the result won't be as tender and moist.

If you don't want to use red wine, just use a full cup of water or stock.

Robert's Indian Chicken

Speakin' of Indian cookin', I love the local Indian stores. Curry and Garam Masala are like salt and pepper to me.
Heat up some oil in the pan with 2 tblspn curry powder (not the type from normal grocery store). After it's hot, drop in a few pounds of chicken chunks. When dem lil' buggers are all slathered up with the curry-oil, let'm cook nice'n slow (so ya keep 'em soft). When theyre almost cooked through, sprinkle them _generously_ with Garam Masala. Finish cooking them, serve, enjoy, and think of me. hehe.
Variation: drop in a cup of mixed veges with the whole mix while its cookin'.
%lt;--extravagant, arent I? <;;^>

Coconut Milk Chicken Curry (Gulai Ayam)

Penang, Malaysia (Nyonya)

900 g Chicken pieces; OR 675 g Chicken, boneless
1 tb Oil
2 Lemon grass stalks; I subbed 1/2 ts Lemon grass, powdered
8 oz Coconut milk
1 c Water
2 ts Salt
6 oz Coconut milk

REMPEH (Curry Paste):

4 Chiles, red; dried; I subbed 1 ts Chile paste
1 Cinnamon stick; 2", I subbed 1/2 ts Cinnamon, ground
4 Cloves; I substituted 2 ds Cloves, ground
2 tb Coriander seed; I subbed 1/2 tb Coriander, ground
1 tb Cumin seed; I substituted 1/4 tb Cumin, ground
1 ts Fennel seed
1/2 ts Turmeric
225 g Shallots; peeled
1 Ginger, fresh; 1" piece: but 1/2 ts Ginger, ground is what Iused
2 lg Garlic cloves, crushed
5 Macadamia nuts, or candlenuts

Optional
450 g Okra

Soak chiles in warm water 10-15 minutes. Peel and finely chop ginger. Drain chiles and remove hard stems. Remove skin from chicken. Rinse chicken and chop with heavy cleaver into roughly 2" chunks. Cut lemon grass into 2" lengths and flatten with side of heavy knife.

In small heavy skillet, dry-roast cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, and fennel over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and pound until very fine, using mortar and pestle, or grind very fine in spice mill. Add turmeric and set aside. Grind drained chiles, shallots, ginger, garlic, and nuts to paste in food processor.

Heat oil in large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chile paste and fry 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Add dried spice mixture and fry another minute, stirring constantly. Add chicken pieces and turn until chicken is well coated with curry paste. Add lemon grass, then add coconut milk and water. Bring to boil, then cover and simmer over medium heat until chicken is tender, approximately 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Boneless chicken will cook in about 30 minutes.)

Add salt and remaining coconut milk and cook 5 minutes longer. Serve hot with Lacy Coconut Milk Pancakes and sliced cucumbers.`

Alternatives: Gulai ayam is occasionally made with the addition of potatoes or okra. Potatoes are cut into 1/2" cubes; okra are left whole. Add with coconut milk and water.

Sylvia's comments: I'm a lazy American, I couldn't see the point of using whole spices if I was just going to have to grind them. I replaced them with the indicated amounts of ground spices. Warning: roasting cinnamon produces very aromatic oils! The back of my throat reacted quite strongly. I substituted blanched almonds for the macadamias, which I didn't have. Something produced a bitter taste that I did not care for. I cut the water in half and would suggest skipping it completely unless you want a curry soup. Boneless chicken doesn't take anywhere NEAR 30 minutes! This had a lovely color and the sauce was great to dip the coconut milk pancakes or other bread into. I'd like to get rid of that bitter flavor and increase the chile paste next time, it was still a bit bland but the coconut milk taste completely disappeared. It also required too much equipment: small cast-iron skillet, bowl, small food processor, cutting board, big skillet for cooking.

small piece of cinnamon stick (about 1/2 inch) OPTIONAL

In pot, heat oil and simmer onions and chicken hearts until brown. Add tomato sauce and water. Add seasoning and bring to a boil. Boil for about 30 minutes or longer (until sauce is as thick as you want it). This recipe also works with giblets (which I prefer) or a combination of both.

Skillet Cacciatore

Brown some chicken in olive oil and garlic, add unsweetened tomato sauce, a chopped pepper, a chopped onion, sliced mushrooms (canned work fine, if you like) some oregano, extra garlic. If you're one of the PaleoPeople who consider wine okay, a half a cup of red wine is good -- but it's not essential. Put a lid on it and simmer for 45 minutes or so.

Spanish Meatballs

1 lb. ground chicken (breast or thighs, I've even used turkey)
1/2 onion
1 clove garlic
1 slice bacon, cut into small cubes (10 minutes in the freezer makes it easier to slice)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 c. tomato sauce

Brown the bacon and drain over paper towels, cool. Saute the garlic and onion in the bacon fat for 5 minutes. Add the bacon, garlic, onion, salt and pepper to the ground chicken. Using your hands, mix thoroughly and form into ping-pong ball size balls.

Heat a small amount of olive oil over high heat, once hot add meatballs and brown. Once browned, turn heat to medium and add the tomato sauce. Simmer until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is warm.
