CHICKEN PASTRY OR B'STILA
=========================

Ingredients:
------------
1               chicken
1/2 teaspoon    turmeric
a tablespoon    of mixed herbs or "bouquet garni"
3               large onions, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons   oil
1/2 cup         butter, margarine or diet margarine, clarified
7               eggs beaten
1/2 teaspoon    salt
1 cup           chopped cilantro or parsley
2 cups          ground toasted almonds
1 tablespoon    cinnamon
12              filo dough sheets
1/4 cup         powdered sugar.
salt, fresh black pepper
pinch of saffron

Preparation:
------------
Place chicken in a roasting pan.  If you use saffron threads, let them
soak in half a cup of water.  Pour on fowl.  Sprinkle salt, pepper,
turmeric and mixed herbs on top.  Roast chicken in oven at 400 f for 45
minutes to an hour.  Cool.  Remove skin and all bones.  Cube chicken.
Keep giblets, except for the neck, with all the spicy, herbed juice.
Set aside.

In a skillet, saute minced onions in oil.  Place in a bowl.

In the same skillet, with a little oil, fry the beaten eggs mixed with
salt and chopped cilantro.  Place in another small bowl.  Still in the
same oiled skillet, toast almonds until slightly brown and grind them in
a food processor.  Set aside.

Clarify the shortening, and everything is ready to be put together now.

On the bottom of the pan used to roast the chicken, after washing and
greasing it, stack 2 sheets of filo dough, letting edges overhang.
Brush on top some of the clarified shortening.  At broil, rapidly brown
these 2 sheets.  Then add cubed chicken, with all spices and juice.
Spread again 2 more dough sheets with some shortening brushed on.

Broil rapidly.  Add soft mixture of eggs with cilantro.  Cover with 2
more greased sheets.  Broil rapidly.  Add almonds mixed with cinnamon
and sugar.  Finish with your best-looking greased sheets.  Tuck in all
dough and bake 25 to 30 minutes at 400 F until golden grown.  Cool
slightly.  Sprinkle with remaining powdered sugar, making a decorative
crisscross with cinnamon on top.  Serve hot.  It can be reheated several
times.  It can also be frozen.

CHICKEN RAVIOLI IN PORT MUSTARD CREME SAUCE WITH MANGO GINGER CHUTNEY
=====================================================================
(serves 4 as a pasta dish before the main meal.)

Pasta
-----
1 cup   flour
1       egg
1 tbl   water
1 tbl   olive oil (gives gummy texture)

Prepare two sheets of pasta rolled out to "6" on the Atlas machine.
You can knead by hand forever or use a food processor on the dough.

Egg wash
--------
1       egg
2 tbl   water

Whisk together and brush on one side of each piece of pasta.  The egg
wash acts as a glue to hold the ravioli together during cooking.

Filling
-------
6 oz.     cooked chicken (Chef Johnson called for smoked)
1/6 cup   cream
1/4 cup   mango ginger chutney (buy from your grocery store!)

Combine in food processor, or chop chicken finely with knife and mix
together.  (Chef Johnson called for some cayenne and more chutney, but I
cut it down to my taste because I thought it was too spicy.)

Preparation:
------------
Prepare ravioli by putting 1-1 1/2 tsp lumps of chicken filling on one
piece of pasta in a 2xN matrix where N is ~10-12.  Place other piece of
pasta over this.  Egg side of both sheets should be toward the inside.
Cut ravioli with a knife or a ravioli wheel.  Seal ravioli with fingers
or by pressing with a fork.  Flour well and set aside.

You should make 20-24 ravioli. You will need 16 to serve. Expect a few
to fall apart while cooking.

When sauce is ready, cook ravioli until they rise.

Sauce
-----
1 cup   port wine
8       peppercorns, bruised or cracked
1       bay leaf
2       shallots, diced

Reduce over high heat until nearly dry.

1 cup chicken stock

Add and reduce until total volume is about 1/4 cup.

1 cup cream
1 tbl mustard

Add, whisk, and reduce until sauce naps. (Napping means: dip a
spoon in the sauce, wipe the back horizontally with your finger.
If the sauce does not run it is thick enough.)

Strain the sauce and keep warm. (Strained sauces come from
French tradition. You want a smooth pretty sauce with no chunks
of pepper and lumps of shallots.)

I adjusted the proportions in this recipe from Chef Johnson's
original. I used less cream and more port because I like the
greater flavor and color from the port.

Prepare four individual plates. On each plate, pour an equal portion of
the sauce. Makes sure the sauce coats the entire center of the plate but
none of the side. Place four cooked ravioli on the place, and scoop
about 2 tbl of the chutney on the middle of the plate. It should look very
pretty.

What sort of wine would go with this course?  I've had it with a
Chardonnay and with a German Riesling.  In both cases, the ginger, etc.,
overpowered the wine.  Perhaps an Alsatian Gewurztraminer would do
better, or perhaps this course just isn't suited to wine.  :-(

CHICKEN SOUVLAKI
================

Ingredients:
------------
1/2 C  olive oil
1/4 C  lemon juice (use real lemon) or red wine vinegar (I use half of each)
1/4 C  red wine
1/2 t  minced garlic (I put more like 1 T.  I luvs me some garlic)
1 T    oregano
3      Whole Chicken Breasts cut into 1" squares.

Instructions:
-------------
Let marinade for at least 3 hours.  Then take skewers and put
onion-chicken-mushroom-chicken-green-pepper-chicken.  Do this for until
all the chicken is used up.  I don't like to make these until the guests
come over.  Participation required.  I also like to use different colors
of peppers - orange, red, etc. 

Grill these and brush with the leftover marinade.  Be sure to constantly
rotate.  Will take about 15 minutes. 

This is absolutely required when making chicken souvlaki:

Grilled Pita:
-------------
Store bought Pita Bread
Olive Oil
dab of butter

Grill the pita bread until they are kinda toasty on the outside.
Don't turn up the burner too high!  Pita should be brought
to the table warm

CHICKEN STIR FRY
================

Ingredients:  
------------
Couple of chicken breasts
1 or 2 white onions
bunch of scallions (green onions, about 12)
sugar
black pepper 
soy sauce
garlic powder 
onion powder
chicken broth (boullion cube in a coup of water will do).

Directions:  
-----------
Put about 1/2 to 1 cup of peanut oil in wok, and put on stove on highest
heat -- keep the heat on HIGH the entire time you cook in the wok.  Add
the chicken when the oil is hot and cook until tender and no longer
pink.  While cooking, sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper
on chicken.  Add about 2 tablespoons of sugar over chicken for sweet
taste.  More or less is fine.  When the chicken is done browning, add
the chicken broth and vegetables.  Cook for about 3 or 4 more minutes,
until broth starts to steam.  Squirt soy sauce over the whole thing,
probably about 1/4 to 1/2 cup.  Add some cold water with corn starch to
thicken the sauce, how much is up to you, I usually use about 3
tablespoons in 1/3 cup or so.  Stir it all together to coat everything
evenly and serve over a bed of rice.  Serve HOT. 

Note:  
-----
The more sugar you add, the sweeter it will taste.  I've used up to 1/2
of a cup in the past.  You basically want to coat the chicken with sugar
granuals when adding the sugar...This makes a nice sweet sauce, sort of
brownish in color (from the soy sauce)...

CHICKEN STIR FRY
================

For most stir fry recipes (at least the brown coloured gravy), this is
the recipe:

Basic Sauce:
------------
1 tbsp   oyster sauce (I use "Lee Kum Kee" brand, from the oriental market)
1 tsp    soy sauce
pinch    of salt
1/4 tsp  sugar (or MSG)
1 tsp    corn flour
a little gound white pepper-optional

Method:
-------
Mix all the above ingredients in 1/4 cup water till well blended.  Add
in to cooked chicken, vegetables, etc, and stir mixture over the heat
until gravy (sauce) thickens. 

Hints:
------
Marinate and stir fry the chicken, by itself, first.  Brown some garlic
and/or ginger(according to your recipe), then stir-fry the vegetables. 
When vegetables are 3/4 cooked, add in the stir-fried chicken, basic
sauce, and stir-fry till the sauce thickens and is no longer 'cloudy'
looking.  Always remember to vary the sauce ingredients according to
taste, and if sauce becomes too thick, add in a little more water, and
if it thicken enough, add more cornflour blended into a little room
temperature water, first.(if the sauce is not thick enough)

CHICKEN TIKKA
=============

Ingredients:
------------
800g / 1.75 lb chicken legs  (6 legs?)
Butter for basting

The marinade:
-------------
50g / 0.25 cup  Yoghurt
40g / 6.75 tsp  ginger paste
40g / 6.75 tsp  garlic paste
3g / 0.5 tsp    white pepper powder
3g / 0.5 tsp    cummin powder
5g / 1 tsp      Mace-nutmeg-cardamom powder
3 g /0.5 tsp    Red Chilli Powder (substitute cayenne powder)
3g / 0.5 tsp    Tumeric
60ml / 4 Tbs    Lemon juice
20g / 2 Tbs     Gramflour
Salt to taste
75ml / 5 Tbs    Groundnut oil (Use any veg oil)

Instructions:
-------------
Clean, remove skin and debone chicken.  Cut each leg into 4 pieces - 24
tikka in all. 

Whisk yoghurt in a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix
well.  Rub the chicken pieces with this mixture.  Keep aside for 3 1/2
hours. 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 

Skewer the marinated tikka at least an inch apart.  Keep a tray
underneath to collect the drippings. 

Roast in a moderately hot tandoor for 6-7 minutes, basting at least
once.  In a charcoal grill, for about the same time, basting once.  In a
pre-heated oven, roast the tikka for 8-10 minutes, basting at least
twice.  Make sure that the chicken does not touch the sides or the
bottom of the oven. 

Note: 
-----
A tasty variation of the Murgh Tikka is the Tikka Harra Bharra (Tikka,
green all over), made with the addition of mint and corriander paste
(50g/3 Tbs) to the marinade.

From: Vince McCoy 

I not real good at giving a number of servings for my recipes.  It depends
upon the size of the chicken and how hungry you are but I guess this should
serve at least 4 people.  It is a very flexible recipe that can be adjusted
for personal taste.

CHICKEN VERSUVIUS

Instructions:
-------------
Heat olive oil in oven proof skillet.  Add whole garlic cloves, saute
until cloves are a golden brown on all sides.  Prepare chicken by
washing throughly and then drying with paper towels.  When garlic is
brown remove from pan and set aside.  Add chicken pieces to skillet,
cook until skin is brown (chicken will not be done yet).  Add quartered
potatoes to the pan, fitting around and between chicken pieces.  Return
garlic cloves to the pan also fitting around chicken and potatoes. 
Season all with salt and pepper to taste.  Sprinkle rosemary over all. 
Add white wine around edges of skillet so as not to wash off spices from
chicken and potatoes.  Bring to a simmer on top of the stove, then cover
skillet and place in a 400 degree oven.  Cook until chicken is very
tender and potatoes are soft, about 35-40 minutes. 

Variations: 
-----------
Fresh rosemary may also be used in this dish, increase amount to 1
tablespoon.  If using new red potatoes the skin can be left on.

CHICKEN WITH CHICK PEAS AND RICE (D'jaaj b'Hoummus ou Ruz)
================================
(Serves 4-6)

Ingredients:
------------
1        large chicken
1 cup    ghee or substitute
12 cups  water
2        medium onions, finely chopped
1 clove  garlic, crushed
1        cinnamon stick
4 tsps   salt
3/4 cup  chick peas soaked overnight
500g     (1lb) coarsely ground meat
1/2 tsp  cinnamon
1/2 tsp  black pepper
3/4 cup  risone pasta or broken up vermicilli
1 cup    rice washed and drained
1/2 cup  slivered almonds

Instructions:
-------------
In a large saucepan brown the chicken in 1.4 cup of the ghee.  Add eight
cups water, half the chopped onions, the garlic, cinnamon stick and 2
tsps of salt.  Bring to the boil, cover and continue to cook until the
chicken is tender enough for the meat to fall off the bones. 

While the chicken is cooking, drain the soaked chickpeas and place in a
large pot with four cups of water.  Bring to the boil, cover and simmer
vigorousy until just tender.  Drain and set aside. 

In another saucepan lightly brown the almonds in a little ghee.  Remove
and set aside. 

Add 1/4 cup ghee to the saucepan and heat.  Fry the meat in the ghee,
stirring occasionally unti brown all over.  Turn down the heat to simmer
and cook until nearly tender - approximately 15 minutes.  Stir in the
cinnamon, black pepper and the remainder of the onions and the salt and
continue to cook for a further 25 minutes.  Remove from the saucepan and
set aside. 

Place the remaining half cup of ghee in the same saucepan and saute the
pasta or vermicelli until golden brown.Add the rice and saute a further
few minutes.  Pour five cups of the boiling broth from the cooked
chicken (make up the quantity with water if necessary).  Bring to the
boil, add the cooked meat and onion minture and the cooked chick peas. 
Stir well.  Cover, simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid
absorbed - approximately 20 minutes.  Turn off the heat and allow to
stand for 10 minutes.  Serve the chickpea and rice mixture on a platter
garnished with the almond and chicken pieces. 

Note:
-----
That looks like an awesome amount of ghee.  I think I would be using a
lot less and cooking in a non stick pan.

CHINESE-JEWISH CHICKEN
======================

Ingredients:
------------
1 roasting chicken
Master sauce

Instructions:
-------------
In large pot, cover chicken 3/4 to all the way with sauce.  Boil chicken
for 20 to 30 minutes, turning the chicken over halfway through the time. 

Chicken then is removed from pot -- it will be golden color.  Place
chicken, breast down, on roaster in preheated very hot oven, 475-500F. 
Roast until done, turning chicken to breast side up halfway through. 
Cooking time will vary with weight of chicken.  Total cooking time is
around an hour for a 2-3 lb roaster.  Chicken is done when juices run
clear. 

Chicken will have very crisp skin, and will be very moist inside, from
the two cooking modes.  Sometimes, in the summer when I don't want the
oven heat, I put the chicken, cut into two split halves, on the grill
instead of the oven.  Carve as a roast chicken, and use plum sauce as a
dip. 

(We usually serve this chicken with rice and stir fried broccoli.)

Master sauce: 
-------------
equal parts water and soy sauce
with garlic, ginger, and spring onions added

Simmer at length to combine flavors.  Can be frozen, reboiled, skimmed,
etc.  I have a sauce that is a half-dozen years old at present - I add
more garlic, ginger, onions, soy sauce, to replenish as needed.

COCONUT CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE
==============================

Here a recipe for what we call 'kipfilet' (chicken fillet): part of the
chicken with no bones or fat.  It's really easy, but very delicious.

Ingredients:
------------
1     chicken fillet per person.
1     egg, beaten, in a dish
chipped coconut, in a dish
a tin with pineapple slices
pepper
salt
sojasauce

Instructions:
-------------
Rub fillets in with pepper and salt and sojasauce.  Dip first in beaten
egg and then in chipped coconut, so that they get entirely covered.

Put them in a frying pan with some not too hot butter: be careful that
the fillets don't stick to the pan and that the coconut does not get too
dark.  They will be done in about ten minutes.  Check to be sure.

Then take them out and keep them warm.  Turn up the heat and put in the
same frying pan pineapple slices along with the juice from the tin.
Keep the slices moving and brown them in about a minute or two.

Serve the pineapple and the juice with the chicken.

Goes well with rice and a salad.

COLD CHICKEN RECIPE
===================

I don't have the exact proportions with me but an excellent dish in the
summer is cold poached chicken with tuna basil sauce.  Poach (or even
grill) the chicken breasts in the morning and chill them for at least
six hours. 

The night before combine reasonable proportions of canned tuna fish(one
can), yogurt (just a touch), about 1/3 of a cup of basil, juice from
half a lemon and three or four anchovies.  Mix it all in the blender and
achieve a decent consistancy by adjusting the ingredients.  To serve put
a dollop of the sauce on the chicken, sprinkle with paprika and garnish
with a basil leaf.  Excellent and easy.  (Sorry about not having the
complete recipe.)

CORNISH GAME HENS
=================

Ingredients:
------------
1         cornish game hen cut-up in pieces, ie: wings, thighs breast etc
Olive oil
1/2 tbs   butter
2         baby eggplant peeled and diced
Asparagus stalks in thirds (I used leftovers)
1         cubano pepper chopped
1         small onion chopped
2 cloves  garlic minced
1 tsp     ginger
Curry powder to taste
1/2 cup   sour cream (can substitute plain yogurt)
Leftover Lentil Dahl (optional)
2 cups    chicken stock
1/2 cup   dried rice
1/2 cup   dried orzo

Instructions:
-------------
Start the stock for the rice and orzo.  When the stock is boiling add
the rice and orzo and lower to simmer.  Cook like you would normal rice.

In a heavy frying pan (mine is a cast iron chicken pan) on high add the
olive oil (use your own judgement) and butter.  Sautee the onions,
garlic and pepper with the ginger and a liberal amount of curry powder.
Add the pieces of hen and brown.  Remove pieces and set aside.  Add
eggplant and asparagus until eggplant is tender being careful not to
burn onion etc.

(Now if you are not going to use Dahl add about a 2/3 cup of stock and
let simmer for about 5 min until hot.  Then take a little of the juice
out and mix with sour cream.  Put mixture back in and add hen.  Cover
and simmer for about 30 to 40 min until juices run clear when you
puncture chicken with fork).

If you are going to use some Dahl, skip the stock and add the sour cream
or yogurt right away.  Mix until creamy, then add the Dahl also mixing
well.  Place hen pieces on top.  Simmer covered for 30 to 40 min.  Serve
over rice-orzo mixture

Add salt and pepper to taste Although I added a little salt I didn't use
pepper because it was seasoned pretty well.

Things you can add that would probably be good:

Chopped tomato
mushroom
spinach

DIJON CHICKEN
=============

Mix about a cup of flour with some black pepper, thyme, and marjoram. 
About a tsp of each. 

Dredge boneless chicken breasts in the flour and then brown in butter in
a skillet. 

Remove the chicken, add about a 1/4 cup of vermouth and cook down to a
glaze.  Add a couple tablespoons of dijon mustard (I like LOTS), stir,
add about a half cup of heavy cream, and simmer.  

Add approx 1/4 cup of chicken broth, mixed with some of the leftover
flour mixture and pour in the sauce to thicken.  Add a tablespoon or so
of lemon juice.  Add the chicken breasts and simmer until hot. 
Delicious. 

Variations:
-----------
1) Cut up the chicken breasts into small strips before dredging in the
flour.  It really tastes better this way, I think. 

2) Add sliced fresh mushrooms to the sauce, letting them cook up a bit
with the sauce. 

3) Add artichoke hearts to the sauce, just before adding back the
chicken.

GARLIC-GINGER ROASTED CHICKEN
=============================

Here is a good thing to do with a whole chicken:

1.  prepare a marinade using soy sauce (1/2 cup), honey (1/4 cup),
vinegar (any kind, 1/4 cup), chopped garlic (2 tbsp or so), and minced
ginger root (2 tbsp or so).  The proportions are a matter of taste. 

2.  Place your rinsed chicken in a ziplock bag and cover with marinade. 
Seal to exclude air so chicken is fully contacted by the marinade.  Let
marinate at least 8 hours or overnight for a more intense flavor. 

3.  When ready to roast, place breat side down in a shallow pan.  Roast
about 20 - 25 minutes per pound, 350 F.  Baste with the marinade or pan
juices every 15 minutes.  Turn the chicken breast side up during the
last half hour.  Chicken should be a nice mahogany color when done. 
Keep a close eye on it though; the marinade can scorch a little with all
that honey in it.
