Ginger Chicken And Quinoa Stew Food

GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the broccoli and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
• Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds more.
• Remove the vegetables from the pan; place them on a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and turn the heat to high. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and add them to the pan in a single layer - you may need to do this step in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
• Add the broccoli mixture back to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes or until the vegetables are warmed through.
• In a bowl whisk together the oyster sauce, chicken broth, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and cornstarch.
• Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables and bring to a boil; cook for 1 more minute or until sauce has just started to thicken.
• Serve immediately, with rice if desired.

GINGERY CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Put the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and cook, turning the pieces as they release easily from the pan, until they're well browned on both sides, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot.
• Add the onion, daikon and ginger to the pot and cook until they begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the stock, soy sauce, lime juice and star anise and bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Return the chicken and adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently but steadily.
• Cook the chicken, covered, until very tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in the squash. Simmer, stirring occasionally and adding enough stock to keep it from sticking, until the squash is tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes. If you like, remove the chicken thighs, cut the meat from the bones and return it to the pot. Fish out and discard the star anise. Adjust the seasonings to taste and serve.

GINGER CHICKEN AND QUINOA STEW

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Top with quinoa, onion and peppers. In a small bowl, whisk the broth, honey, soy sauce, mirin, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes; pour into slow cooker., Cook, covered, on low until chicken is tender, 3-1/2 to 4 hours. Serve with pineapple, green onions and sesame seeds.

MEXICAN CHICKEN STEW WITH QUINOA & BEANS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and fry the onions and peppers for a few mins until softened. Stir in the chipotle paste for a minute, followed by the tomatoes. Add up to a tomato can-full of water to cover the chicken and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken breasts and gently simmer, turning the chicken occasionally, for 20 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with the stock cubes. Add the quinoa and cook for 15 mins until tender, adding the beans for the final min. Drain well and stir in the coriander and lime juice, then check for seasoning before covering to keep warm.
• Lift the chicken out onto a board and shred each breast using two forks. Stir back into the tomato sauce with the sugar and season. Serve with the quinoa, scattering the stew with some coriander leaves just before dishing up and eating with a dollop of yogurt on the side.
