Great Chicken Recipes

© Viraj Talpade

Just Surfing serves up ten of its best recipes and some of them are chicken recipes. I thought they might be good to try and prepare because the site promised that it would be easy to make too. And you know what?

I did try a couple of them. The recipes turned out real good. We called the neighbors in for lunch or the aromas wafting from our house would have driven them wild with hunger!

The recipes are easy and quick to prepare. Well, maybe not quick to prepare but definitely easy to make.

Grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad

Method

Entirely cook the chicken breasts by grilling them for 6 minutes per side. Place the egg yolks, garlic, mustard, sugar and cayenne pepper in a food processor and slowly pour in the oil while mixing. Let it mix until the concoction is as thick as mayonnaise. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining seasonings and lemon juice together. Cut the lettuce into salad size pieces and toss it in a large bowl with the dressing. Cut the chicken into long julienne strips and place on top of the salad. Finish the salad by sprinkling it with the cheese, tomatoes and bacon.
