Herb crusted chicken

-

I made this Herb crusted chicken the other day and couldn't stop thinking about it. My husband loved it.Quick and easy to make in just a few simple steps.This chicken has so much flavor from the mixture of herbs and yet remains very juicy because of the cracker crust protection over it. Enjoy this with rice, potatoes, pasta, alone or with just about anything. It will light up any side dish served alongside it.

Here is how you can make this:

1 tray Chicken thighs ( preferably boneless)
1 pack salt crackers ( any salt crackers are fine 'Ritz','Town house')
1/2 onion
1/2 green pepper
4 cloves garlic
3 fresh basil leaves
seasonings: olive oil, salt, pepper,sage,oregano

Preheat oven to 350F/170C

Take your salt crackers and crumble them into a plate or bowl. Set aside.

clean your chicken and then lightly season it with  your salt, pepper, sage & oregano powders and a drizzle of olive oil to help the seasonings to stick.

Then take a food processor (or a blender for those of you who do not own a food processor) and throw in your onion, pepper, garlic & basil and process or blend until it is a type of liquidy paste. Take this paste and rub it one by one all over your chicken thighs until they are all well covered . Take each chicken one by one and pat them down onto the cracker crumble that you had set aside. For it to cover the chicken as pictured above. do the same to both sides of the chicken.
Now place it in the oven uncovered for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Enjoy


From my kitchen to yours
God Bless

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
