As the title suggests, here are three dinners we had this week involving chicken.
Monday: homemade chicken kebabs, made with Lebanese flat bread filled with marinated chicken, lettuce, tomato and rolled up. There was sauce in there – could’ve been barbecue and aioli. I’ll double-check with Jac and update/correct later on.
Tuesday: There was a lot of chicken left over from Sunday night’s fanily dinner, and Mum had given us some of the chicken to take home. Jac made fritters using finely chopped chicken and leftover unused cooked noodles we’d cooked for the noodle soup on Saturday night, which she bound with egg and flavoured with Chinese five spice.
They were yummy with tomato sauce.
We ate the fritters with more of the leftover chicken – with chicken rice, made using chicken rice mix from a jar. The fragrant, garlicky chicken rice with a little sliced fresh cucumber and our homegrown tomatoes was just beautiful – I was in heaven.
Thursday: we got KFC via drive-thru after work – a Family Feast for $22.95 consisting of 10 pieces of chicken (we asked for all Original Recipe – 10 pieces provides enough for a good dinner plus a few pieces left for the next day), a large coleslaw, large potato and gravy and large chips. Yummy.
So sleepy! I might read this tomorrow and change what I’ve written. Meh *shrug*.

interesting fritters! jac seems pretty skilled at conjuring up recipes!
dea,
Jac loves to experiment and to use up whatever we have in the pantry/fridge. The fritters were more chewy than crispy, but savoury and tasty. Occasionally she’ll cook something that isn’t so successful, but in general, she does come up with yummy things.
tfp, can you please ask Jac for the fritter recipe?
Hmm, so I’ve seen you blog a lot about this chicken rice but….what is it, really? Obviously something with chicken and rice, but do you have a recipe for it? I’d love to try it =D
Mmmm…KFC….good stuff, never had their original recipe though. Only extra crispy hehe.
Nicole,
I’ll try to coax her to recall what she did… and if I get a recipe of sorts from her I’ll email it to you.
Kagenosuke,
See this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainanese_chicken_rice
and this one, for a recipe:

We buy chicken rice mix in a jar or packet though, to save having to boil up a whole chicken to get the chicken stock to cook the rice in.
Sweeeeet, thanks
I’m definitely going to try that out sometime ^_~
