Arriving home from a long day is disheartening when accosted by hungry little mouths. A great learning activity, that will keep little hands busy is COOKING!
This simple recipe has different steps easy enough for my 10 year old to pull off alone! A cookbook is a great gift for children and even better for parents!
Ingredients:
2 pounds (1 large) chicken cut into pieces
1 tablespoon (25ml) curry powder
1 tablespoon (25ml) turmeric
1 tsp (10 ml) ground black pepper
1 tsp (10 ml) salt
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup (125 ml) plain yogurt
2 cups prepared basmati rice (stove-top or microwave)
2 cups steamed green beans (stove-top or microwave)
Instructions:
Combine the spices in a bowl. Sprinkle half over the chicken and reserve the rest.
Rub the spices into the chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour (up to 24)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and cover a cookie sheet with tin foil
Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet skin side up and bake for one hour
In a non-stick pan, fry the garlic and onion for a few minutes or until translucent
Combine the yogurt with the reserved spices and add the softened onion and garlic
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon some of the yogurt mixture over the chicken to coat
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes
Serve with rice and vegetables
