This is a dish that is common in The Bahamas(where I'm from) and I make it all the time. You can adjust everything to your liking because I don't really measure things.

Fry down a medium/large onion with a little bit of vegetable oil just until it gets tender. Add salt, black pepper, LITTLE bit of garlic, dash of fresh or dried thyme. Add about a half of an 8oz can of tomato paste, so like 4ounces. Cook that down for like 20 minutes.



Then add a few cups of water, not too much so that it's soupy, you just want a nice thick gravy to form. Let that come to a boil, don't stir the pot until it's boiling. At this point you can add your chicken, which should be cleaned and ready to go. Let that cook until the chicken is just about done, to this pot you can add white potato, sweet potato, carrots, corn, pumpkin, and/or dumplings, although you don't have to add anything to it if you don't want. Serve with white rice (or even peas %26amp; rice if you know how to make it).



You can also make this with pork chops, spare ribs, stew beef, and fish.



Trust me it's delicious and once you get the hang of it you'll love it.
Corn Chowder

peel and cube potatoes, boil until done, then drain half the water(or more if you want it more creamy) and some butter, add can milk until potatoes are just covered then can cream corn or two depending on the amount you are making, heat and serve. (once in your bowl crumble up some soda crackers and put on top ) YUM



boil macaroni, brown hamburg, mix together the add two wooden spoonfuls of cheese whiz, then add 1-2 cans of tomato soup, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, mix then cover top with cheese slices and put in oven til cheese melts.Need new dinner recipes? please help?
Chicken breast - Chicken Cordon Bleu - butterfly the chicken, flatten a little, put a piece if ham %26amp; cheese, dip in beaten egg then dried breadcrumbs and pan fry for 3 mins on each side before putting in 180C oven for 15 mins. Season raw chicken, egg and breadcrumbs with a little s %26amp;p.



Bacon - Pasta Carbonara - Saute chopped bacon, chopped onions %26amp; chopped mushrooms, add cream, season, bring to boil and then reduce heat. Serve with pasta. Variation - you can fry off cubed chicken first before adding bacon etc.



Prawns - Marinate prawns 2 hours in some olive oil, vinegar, parsley and white wine. Wrap each prawn in a basil leaf and a piece of prosciutto and secure with toothpick. Grill, pan fry or BBQ prawns for 1 minute on each side and serve.



That's all I can think of right now, hope it helps...Enjoy!!
some ideas, make stuffed chicken breast cordon bleu (with cheese %26amp; broccoli, or ham and swiss cheese for example), cut breast not all the way in the middle, flatten, fill and roll up, bread with egg wash/seasoned breadcrumbs and for best results freeze overnight (they won't leak so easily when baked) bake at 350/40min



fried potatoes: fry bacon and onion (lots of both) until bacon is rendered and onions are translucent, set aside, boil potatoes skin-on for ~10 min, cool, peel, cut into slices ~1/4" thick, fry in veg. oil until kind of crispy and done, ad bacon/onion stir and enoy (german bratkartoffeln)



fry chickenbreast, boil pasta as directed, mix warm pasta with lettuce (romain) and ranch or ceasar dressing, put warm chicken strips on top



slice fresh potatos in 1/8 slices, layer with salt/pepper/onion/cheesesauce and a little flower in between in baking dish, bake for ? at 350... depending on amount and baking dish...until done (scalloped potatoes) serve with sausage or chicken

Mediterranean

PASTA PUTTANESCA



3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 Large onion鈥攆inely chopped

4 cloves garlic鈥攆inely chopped

6 anchovy fillets鈥攃hopped

1 small red chili鈥攄e-seeded and finely chopped

2 Tbls capers鈥攔insed and drained

1/2 cup pitted black olives鈥攓uartered

2 14 oz canned diced tomatoes

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 pound spaghetti



Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the garlic and anchovies and cook for a minute, stirring to break up the anchovies.

Add the chili, capers, olives, tomatoes, salt and pepper, and bring to the boil.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta.

Drain the cooked pasta into a colander and put the sauce in the bottom of the pot.

Top with the hot pasta, parsley and reserved tablespoon of olive oil, and toss together gently to combine.

To make this meal more protein-packed you can add a large can of tuna (drained and flaked) to the sauce at the end of cooking to heat through. I personally love it just as it is!
Just make it with chicken breast instead

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds whole chicken legs, thigh and drumstick separated

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste

2 teaspoons peanut or canola oil, divided

8 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage links

2 teaspoons butter

2 large tomatoes, diced

2 large cloves garlic, crushed and peeled

1 large shallot, minced

1/2 cup white wine

1 sprig fresh rosemary

1 sprig fresh thyme

1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons capers, rinsed

1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish



Preparation

Remove skin from chicken and trim any excess fat. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board; let cool slightly, then slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and butter to the pan and increase heat to medium-high. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add tomatoes, garlic, shallot, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 7 to 9 minutes. Add wine, rosemary and thyme and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes. Return the chicken and sausage to the pan, turning to coat with sauce. Cover and simmer until the chicken and sausage are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Stir broth and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth. Transfer the chicken and sausage to a serving dish with a slotted spoon. Discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Stir the cornstarch mixture, capers and lemon zest into the pan; bring to a simmer and cook until the pan juices are thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the chicken with the sauce and garnish with parsley, if desired.
