Easy Banana Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Wash chicken breasts and dip them in oil.
• Mash bananas.
• Arrange chicken on a baking sheet and cover each piece with banana.
• You can garnish this with almost any spice imaginable--popular ethnic ones are paprika, coriander, poppyseeds, or cinnamon.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Steps:

• For the marinade: Combine the yogurt, cilantro, ginger, garlic and some salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Pour the marinade into a large resealable bag. Rinse and pat dry the chicken and place in the bag with marinade. Mix around and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• For the chicken: Add the almonds to a pan over medium-high heat. Keep stirring until the nuts become golden in color, 7 to 10 minutes. Once they toast, remove from the pan and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for until golden, 2 minutes. Throw in the onions and saute for 8 more minutes. Remove the onions and set aside, reserving the oil.
• Wipe down the marinated chicken and cut into bite-size pieces. Pour the flour on a plate and mix in a big pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in the flour to lightly coat. Fry the chicken over medium heat in the same pan and oil as you cooked the onions, until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• For the curry sauce: Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the hot curry powder and stir often until fragrant about 30 seconds. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the toasted curry spice, raisins, chutney, brown sugar, turmeric, lemon juice and the toasted almonds. Stir and bring to a simmer.
• Whisk together the stock and flour in a measuring cup to make a thickener, and then pass through a sieve to remove any flour chunks.
• Add the thickener to the curry sauce and mix well. Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the sauteed onions and garlic, the crisped chicken and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 30 minutes.
• Ladle some chicken curry onto a plate and serve with sliced ripe bananas and sweet shredded coconut.

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, blend the lemon juice, condensed milk, milk, coconut and cardamom until smooth. Pour into a bowl. Dip bananas into milk mixture; roll in cornflakes and set aside. , Dip chicken into remaining milk mixture; roll in remaining cornflakes and place in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of the melted butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour. , Arrange bananas over the chicken. Drizzle with remaining butter. Bake 15 minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear. Garnish with kiwi and starfruit if desired.

Steps:

• In large stock pot, combine chicken, salt & water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover & simmer til chicken is fully cooked.
• While chicken cooks, combine eggs & salt in mixing bowl (I use a stand mixer with dough hook attachment, but it can be mixed by hand with a fork) & beat eggs slightly. Gradually add flour & milk to eggs & continue mixing until the flour is incorporated & dough is no longer sticky to the touch. Slightly more or less flour may be necessary, depending on the size of your eggs.
• When dough is ready, form into a ball & turn out onto a well floured surface. Knead by hand a few times, adding more flour if it gets sticky again. Pat into a round & then roll out into a large rectangle about 12x15 or so & 1/4 inch thick. Be sure to flip dough often, keeping it well floured so it doesn't stick.
• Starting at a short end, use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1/4 inch wide (or smaller)strips. (To do the cutting with a sharp knife: flour the top of your rectangle, roll up jelly roll style & slice into 1/8 inch spirals.) When all strips are cut, unroll if needed & toss them with enough flour to keep them from sticking together. Spread noodles out in a single layer on your rolling surface & leave to dry a bit while you are finishing the chicken.
• When chicken is cooked, remove to a cutting board, (discarding the water it was cooked in) & use two forks to shred it into bite-sized lengths.
• Add the chicken broth to the stock pot & bring broth & water to a boil.
• Add noodles & whatever flour is with them to the boiling pot.
• Add the shredded chicken & stir gently. Reduce heat to low to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes.
• Add the cream of chicken soup & stir well. If this makes the mixture too thick, add enough of the optional water to make your desired consistency. we like it a bit stew-like, but still thin enough to look like gravy on mashed potatoes.
• Simmer all for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until noodles are tender. Timing really depends on how thick your noodles are cut. We like them a little on the thick side. Serve over mashed potatoes.
