Delicious Vindaloo Curry Chicken

Today I'm going to post one of my favorites recipes ever. I really like spicy food and even more it is Indian style. This is a curry vindaloo style, it is so full of flavor and delicious you will get addicted to it. This recipe takes a little bit longer then the usual recipes I post here in the blog, but trust me, it is worth every minute you invest in it. I love it and cook it at least 3 times in a month.

Please let me know what you guys think of it in the comments!

Ingredients:
2 medium onions
4 garlic gloves
1 chili pepper
Fresh ginger (the size of your little finger)

Handful of Parsley

4 tomatoes

Olive oil

1 table spoon of butter

2 boneless and no skin chicken breasts

4 table spoons of curry

1 vegetable cube stock

1 table spoon of corn starch

Salt

Black pepper

5 table spoons of balsamic vinegar

1 table spoon of honey

1 1/2 cups of water

Instructions:

What takes longer in this recipe is to chop everything up, so get it prepared and then the rest is easy. Chop everything in small pieces, except the tomato and the chicken that you will cut in medium cubes.

In a large pan in medium heat, add the butter and a little olive oil. Cook the onion with the garlic, chilli pepper, ginger and parsley. Let it cook for around 10 minutes or until the onions get golden. Don't forget to keep steering so it doesn't burn.

Add the chicken in the pan and let it cook until it start get all white color, at this point, add the curry, vegetable cube stock, corn starch, salt and black pepper. Let it cook a little bit more, steering constantly so it doesn't burn in the bottom until golden.

Once you notice everything is well done, add the balsamic vinegar, tomatoes, honey and the water - the water should be enough to cover the chicken, in case it is not enough add a little bit more of water. Let the pan start to boil and then change the heat to low heat. and let it cook for around 45 minutes steering occasionally so the curry doesn't get stuck in the bottom of the pan and burn. In case the sauce start to dry out with the time, add more water to level it up.

Try the sauce once is done just to make sure you have enough season to it, if yu need add more pepper or salt. 

This recipe goes perfect with some good white rice. Trust me, you will cook it again in the future, it is addicting and plus leave an awesome scent in the house. <3

Crunchy Garlic Chicken

Today's recipe I learned from Jamie Oliver's book, it is so delicious that just by remembering it's taste I feel like making some more! lol

The good thing about this recipe is that, if you want to make it healthier, instead of frying like I did, cook it in the oven for about 20min or until it looks golden and it will be delicious as the fried one =] Oh and by the way, in this recipe I only made 2 chicken breast fillet, but in case you want to make more just double the amount of everything, just stick to one egg, I think it is enough to make around 4 fillets or maybe 5 depending on the size of the fillets.

Ingredients:
2 garlic gloves
1/2 Lemon zest (I only had lime at home when I took the photos, but the recipe tastes better with lemon)
6 cream crackers (or saltine crackers)
1 table spoon of butter
Parsley
Salt and black pepper
2 table spoon of flour
1 egg
2 chicken breast fillet
Olive oil

Brazilian Chicken Pie

This is my mom's recipe, I don't know where she got this from at first, but I know all my friends and family love this recipe and always ask for more. I'm pretty sure this recipe will please the American taste as well. 


I am calling it Brazilian chicken pie, because every chicken pie that I saw here in America always comes with some sort of crust and something more similar to a chicken stew inside. In Brazil, most of our meat pies comes in a "cake" form, with no crust, but with a fluffy delicious dough.

The awesome thing about this recipe is that it may look complicated, but in fact is really simple and easy to make. What takes longer is to chop every ingredient, but once you have that ready, it may take around 20 min to put everything together.
In case you are vegetarian, this chicken pie recipe works really well with spinach instead of chicken. Or if you feel like having fish, change the chicken for tuna, it will taste amazing just the same.

Now everybody, get prepared because this recipe have so much flavor and colors that I couldn't hold myself and took a LOT of photos! Now take your knives and let's chop all this ingredients!

Ingredients:
FOR THE FILLING
1 chicken breast cooked in water and shredded
1 garlic glove
1 onion
2 tomatoes
Handful of parsley
Handful of olives
1 shredded carrot 
1 green bell pepper
1 chili pepper
Black pepper
Salt
Olive oil

FOR THE DOUGH
2 cups of milk
1 beef bouillon in cube
3 eggs
1 cup of oil
1 cup and 1/2 of whole wheat flour
2 table spoon of baking powder
Butter to grease the pan
