mikeyip.com cooks Pan-Grilled Chicken

It’s been awhile since I last post up something I prepared at home and so here, I present to you my very own Home Made Pan-Grilled Chicken with Mushroom & White Wine Sauce

It’s a fairly simple dish to prepare along with it’s side dishes of Mash potato and salad/coleslaw. What you’d need for a 1 person dish is…

Ingredients:

• 1 Chicken Chop or Chicken Drumstick (de-boned)
• 2 Potatoes
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 Cabbage
• 1 cup of Mix Vegetables (you can buy this is packets at the supermarket)
• 1 pack of Mushroom & White Wine Sauce (yes, I’m lazy to prepare my own sauce and got the ready made version)
• Mixed Spice
• Thyme
• Salt
• Olive Oil
• Mayonnaise/Salad Sauce

Preparation:

• With a kitchen knife, apply a few slice across both side of the chicken chop. Marinate the chicken chop with a dash of pepper and mixed spice. I normally let it set for an hour to allow the spices be absorbed into the meat.
• Set 2 pots, one to boil the potatoes and one for the egg. Fill it up with water and add a dash of salt into the pot preparing the potatoes. Once the potatoes are ready, you can easily peel off the skin and start mashing it up. Add a tea spoon of butter, a dash of thyme and mash it along with the hard boil egg til you get the texture you like.
• Heat up a pan and add a dash of olive oil, lower the heat to low heat once the oil is ready and place the chicken chop into the pan. Allow it to grill slowly and while it’s cooking along, you can start preparing the other side dish.
• Coleslaw are quite easy to make, chop up the cabbage to bite size, boil a pot of water, add a dash of salt, put the mixed vegetables in and allow it to cook awhile. Drain the mixed vegetables and mix it along with the coleslaw and salad sauce.
• Flip the chicken chop in the pan once it starts golden in color on one side and allow the other side to cook til it turns golden brown as well. To see whether the inside of the meat is properly cooked, the simplest tool to use is a chopstick. If the inside is still raw, you will encounter some resistant when strength is applied on the chopstick. You’ll also be able to feel that it’s slightly cold at the part of the chopstick that is in the raw area.
• Sauce was quite straight forward as I purchased the microwaveable pack and just follow the instruction stated on the packaging. A lot of time I encounter people who complains that the packed sauce or soup they purchase is lousy and so forth but failed to realize that because instructions wasn’t followed properly, they didn’t get the result they want. So if you want to buy pre-packed ingredients, just follow the step-by-step as printed on the packaging. It’ll never go wrong.

The end result after the cooking part? All you need to do is decorate the plate according to the way you want it and present!

For me, I don’t intend to decorate it as at the end of the day, it’ll all rest nicely at the bottom of my stomach.
