Gordons Napam Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• For the tarragon yogurt dressing: Put the yogurt, mustard, honey, vinegar, celery seed and tarragon in a small bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and about 1/8 teaspoon pepper and whisk to combine.
• For the chicken salad: Combine the chicken, grapes, almonds, celery and onion in a medium bowl. Add the dressing to the chicken mixture and toss until evenly coated.
• Serve the chicken salad on top of butter lettuce, cucumber slices, rice cakes, your favorite bread or even by itself!

Steps:

• First make the pesto:
• In a sturdy and large plastic cup put a large handful of fresh basil leaves, 1 clove of garlic, a 1/4 cup of roasted almonds, 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use an immersion blender to blend it all together, until smooth and bright green. Reserve.
• For the chicken:
• Mix together the paprika, pepper, and cumin in a bowl with a teaspoon of salt. Dust the chicken breasts with the spice mixture and rub in. Grill on a medium hot grill, turning occasionally until chicken is just cooked through. Depending on how thick the breasts are, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from grill and let rest. Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch slices and set aside. Lay a tortilla over low heat on the grill and spread a thin layer of pesto over it. Lay the strips of chicken over the tortilla and sprinkle with Parmesan, cover with another tortilla. Cook until you get color on the bottom and carefully flip it over to cook the other side. Once it is done, remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute. Cut the tortilla like a pizza and serve.

Steps:

• Slice the chicken into thin pieces, 1/8-inch thick and 2 to 3 inches long.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, tossing over high heat until it begins to brown evenly. Add mushrooms and carrots and stir fry briefly, shaking the pan and tossing the chicken and mushrooms together.
• Add the cabbage and stir to combine well. Add the fish sauce and sesame oil. Cook the cabbage briefly before adding the chicken broth. Bring quickly to the boil and reduce for a moment before adding the honey, vinegar, salt and pepper. Toss for another 1 minute. Add the dissolved cornstarch and stir in to coat evenly. Remove from the head before the cabbage loses its crispness and color and serve.

Steps:

• Wash chicken.
• Pat dry.
• In bowl, combine the flour, oregano, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Place chicken in bowl and mix to coat chicken. This will help thicken the sauce.
• In large skillet, heat the oil.
• Brown the chicken. (I throw the remainder of the flour mixture in with the chicken in the pan so that it will thicken the sauce enough.).
• Don't cook too well as it will finish cooking in oven.
• Arrange chicken in 9-by-13 inch baking dish.
• Sprinkle with mushrooms.
• In separate bowl, mix together the sour cream and tomato paste.
• Add wine and mix until mixture is liquidy (I find a hand beater, on low, works well for this).
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour mixture over the chicken.
• Bake, covered, at 350-F for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is done.
• Remove cover and cook an additional 5 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes for sauce to thicken.
• Serve over rice.

Steps:

• To make the curry paste. Put the garlic, chillies, lemon grass, ginger and shallots in a food processor to form a paste. (Or you can use a pestle and mortar).
• Next, heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan. Tip in the curry paste with 1 tsp ground turmeric and stir over a medium heat for a few minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring for 5 minutes.
• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add to the pan, stirring to coat in the paste. Add the lime leaves, cinnamon stick, star anise, coconut milk, stock, sugar, soy and fish sauces and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook gently for half an hour to an hour until the chicken is tender.
• Skim off any excess oil on the surface of the curry. Taste add salt and pepper if you think its needs. Add the beans and cover for another few minutes until the beans are tender.
• To serve, scatter the coriander leaves over the curry and serve with rice and roti.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or a bottle, pound each to an even ½-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt.
• In a small bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, cilantro, cayenne and 4 tablespoons oil. Finely grate the lime zest directly into the bowl; reserve the lime. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the marinade. Let sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the cabbage lengthwise, core it, then slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick strips. Transfer to a large bowl and toss in the cucumber slices, chives and mint leaves.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in 1 tablespoon oil and heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Cut the reserved lime in half and squeeze the juice over the chicken; slice the chicken. Transfer the chicken to serving plates and slice.
• Toss the cabbage mixture with the vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season to taste with salt and serve alongside the chicken.
