Garlic Chicken Pasta

Garlic Chicken Pasta

By Natalie Giron

4 chicken breasts
1 lb penne pasta (or your favorite)
butter
garlic cloves
basil

Boil water for pasta. Saute chicken in skillet and season with salt, pepper, and anything else you like. I use red pepper, garlic salt or season all. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. When pasta is done, add butter and garlic. I add the butter and garlic to taste but you can start with at least 2 Tbl of butter and 1-2 garlic cloves. Toss the cooked chicken with pasta and sprinkle with basil and Parmesan cheese shreds. If you don't want to use garlic cloves, garlic salt is really good too. A little goes a long way, so add to taste.

Chicken Tenders

Chicken Tenders

By Celeste Giron

3-4 pounds of chicken tenders
1 box fish and chip batter (found in the butcher section)
oil for deep fryer

Rinse chicken tenders and let drain. Mix the box of fish and chip batter with water (instructions on the box). I use the entire box for the 3-4 pounds of chicken. When the oil is up to temperature (check deep fryer for temperature needed for chicken) dip the chicken tender in the batter and then drop into the fryer. I can do about 4 tenders at a time. Cook until golden brown and chicken is cooked through. Serve with a variety of dipping sauces such as barbecue, sweet and sour, honey mustard, ranch or Wingers sauce.

Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhami )

By Kinder Giron

Be prepared for a gastronomical treat- this has been an oft requested dish in the Boyd Home for decades.
Instructions (Time: Prep- 35 minutes. Cook- 55 minutes. )

Things You'll Need:For the Tandoori Chicken:
· Around 3 lbs of chicken, skinned and boned (…you’ll want plenty of leftovers)
· 3 jars of Pataks Spicy Ginger & Garlic Marinade & Grill Sauce(11oz ea.) (Available at any local Indian Grocery Stores)
· 8oz of plain yoghurt

For the sauce:
· 2 lbs of tomatoes (seeded & pulped)
· 1 stick of butter
· 1/2 tsp salt
· Generous amount of pepper
· 6 ounces (180 ml) of heavy cream
· 1 green chili (diced)
· 2 tbsp of chopped coriander leaves for garnish

1. Prepare Tandoori Chicken by following the directions on the Patak jar, except you’ll want to cut the chicken into large bite size pieces instead of scoring. (Time: Prep- 20 minutes. Marinade- 1hr. Cook- 40 minutes)
2. In a wok or heavy skillet, gently simmer the tomatoes until their liquid evaporates leaving a thick paste. This should take 5-10 minutes. Add the butter, salt and pepper. Then add the cream, chili, and finally the chicken pieces. Gently simmer for 5 minutes. (Time: Prep- 15 minutes. Cook 15 minutes)
3. Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with the coriander leaves. Remember, the coriander leaves are important for this dish to be perfect. You can serve the butter chicken with rice or any Indian bread.
4. Extra leftovers or “didn’t like it”? Call the Boyd’s and we’ll take it off your hands!
