Chicken soup
Ingredients:
- Chicken: A whole chicken or bone-in chicken parts will add the most flavour to your soup. You can also use chicken breasts, but these are best cold-poached to ensure they stay tender and juicy.
- Vegetables: Carrots, celery, and onion are classic choices, but you can also add others like asparagus, potatoes, or cabbage.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and chicken bouillon granules can be used to taste. You can also add dried or fresh herbs like bay leaves for extra flavour.
- Broth: You can use water or chicken stock for the broth. Using stock will give your soup a richer flavour.
Instructions:
- If using a whole chicken or bone-in chicken parts, make the stock by boiling the chicken and vegetables until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
- If using chicken breasts, cold-poach them separately by bringing a poaching liquid to about 150°F (66°C) and holding it there until the breasts reach the same temperature in their thickest parts.
- Remove the breasts and set aside.
- Continue simmering the stock with the bones and vegetables for about an hour to extract as much flavour as possible.
- Add your diced vegetables towards the end of cooking so they maintain their texture and flavour.
- Shred the chicken, discarding the bones, and add it back to the pot with the vegetables.
- Season to taste and serve!

Chicken pasta
Ingredients:
- Chicken breasts
- Pasta (penne or any variety)
- Heavy cream
- Parmesan cheese
- Lemon
- Garlic
- Butter
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Italian seasoning
- Paprika
Method:
First, flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1-1.5 cm. This ensures even cooking and a juicy texture. Next, preheat a stainless steel pan and add butter and olive oil. Place the chicken in the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden. Set the chicken aside and slice it into strips.
In the same pan, add the pasta and cook it in chicken broth instead of water for extra flavor. You can also add fire-roasted diced tomatoes and their juices for a more robust flavor. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.
To make the creamy sauce, combine heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and garlic in a separate saucepan. Warm the sauce over medium heat, being careful not to let it boil. Add the cooked chicken strips to the sauce and simmer gently. Finally, toss the sauce with the cooked pasta until everything is coated.
For an extra indulgent touch, top the pasta with cooked bacon bits, shrimp, or an extra dusting of Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy chicken pasta!
Variations:
You can also try different variations of chicken pasta, such as Chicken Pesto Pasta, Chicken Alfredo, or Chicken Cacciatore, which is a rustic Italian dish with chicken and a rich tomato sauce.
