Chop up some garlic and ginger and trim off yer chicken breast.

The chicken breasts here seem very wet so I srprinkle on a bit of flour before pressing in the garlic and ginger… back home I’d use a rolling pin to really squash the breast, but here they’re so moist I just use my hands.

Some lightly floured breasts with the garlic and ginger pressed in:

Dip into a beaten egg (with a dash of milk too)...

Then into the bread crumbs… this part also really mashes the garlic and ginger into the breast so each piece will be about the double the size.

Fry up in butter… I forgot to buy butter and had to use the final knob I had with the mashed potatoes, so just fried them up in oil… I also squeeze the juice from about half a lime over them just as they’re cooked… but I forgot the lime too.

Serve with creamy garlic mashed potatoes, rich gravy and a hot Thai bird.

Unfortunately she’s away so I had to eat by myself.

Which frees up tonight to go watch the match in Cowboy and be relieved by a Fanny’s slapper, should I choose to venture out.

A double chicken breast makes about 6 or 7 of these, so there’s still 5 left for me tmro… just need to cook up the French fries. They’re nicer the next day anyway as the garlic and ginger really infuse with the chicken… as the missus says… they’re like ‘Seks for the stomak’... Which is good.... I think.

*Burbppp*

Chairman Mao · 26-10-2008, 10:13 PM

I forgot the 'Lazy Bastard' version.

Just add the chopped garlic and ginger to the breadcrumbs.

Press them into the chicken breast... I mean REALLY press them in so each one is only a few millimetres thick.

Fry up in oil.

That's it. Easy as that.

Cut the breast up a bit so they're not as big and they goes absolutely great as finger food with icy cold beer while football at home.

isdatu · 26-10-2008, 10:47 PM

certainly putting that one on my list C.M, maybe I'd just add a few garden vegies (something even I can't even stuff up) and its a prize winner

isdatu · 26-10-2008, 10:50 PM

had a roast lamb/pork dinner with the works at a mates place today. I'd give my left nut to get my hands on a small oven. Well almost.......

melvbot · 26-10-2008, 11:01 PM

I forgot about doing this with chicken, usually just fry it as I havent got a cooker. Should be a welcome addition to the menu.

'lectric to run 'em 'tis 'nother story ...................

Marmite the Dog · 27-10-2008, 04:23 PM

Every place I've lived in has electricity.

Mid · 27-10-2008, 04:25 PM

yep and it takes just slightly more to run an 'lectric oven than a single bulb ...........

220 here is at an average of 190 and 170 is seen on odd occassions .

Marmite the Dog · 27-10-2008, 04:31 PM

I've got one and it works.

Nuf said.

Chairman Mao · 27-10-2008, 08:51 PM

24 hours in the fridge later and the garlic and ginger has really infused with meat.

Peel, chop, soak and fry up some french fries…

...with mayo, ketchup and mustard. Lovely and couldn’t be easier.

Unfortunately Missis Mao is still away, so it’s dining for one

Which means I’ve still got 3 large pieces for dinner tmro

48 hours and the garlic and ginger will be bloddy to die for…. I hope.

Me too. But there's yanks here.

Bigleg · 28-10-2008, 12:56 PM

Looks very nice indeed, you can also add some dried chilli flakes to the ginger and garlic to give it an extra kick.

CSFFan · 30-10-2008, 02:35 PM

Looks very nice...I also do this with pork loin steaks. Baked or fried, they are both very tasty. Topped with some chopped parsley and corriander..very nice!

Thanks CM!

Would have thought, as long as you were careful with temp, you could fry these?

Edit - just reread & they are sodding fried. D'oh!

Sorry, Chairman Mao. Also ran out of repo. Remind me to green you for this.

Lorenzo · 30-10-2008, 11:54 PM

Looks great .... Will give it a try

Lorenzo · 31-10-2008, 11:07 AM

Zanussi oven and 3 burners on top at Carrefour - a steal at 8,900 baht.

Will cost about an extra 3,000 baht for the gas cylinder, hose and regulator on top. Still not bad.

My mum sent me a proper metal roasting tin from the UK today so roast dinners, here we come!

Riatsalawhit · 03-11-2008, 11:11 PM

sound's a great treat with the added garlic n ginger I'm not so keen about the garlic pototo as it seems to be over doing the flavour but nevertheless a good dish.................keep the recipes coming as there worth trying out.
