Curry Soup with Shredded Chicken Curry Soup with Shredded Chicken
I love curry. Sometimes I make curry soup to eat up lots of vegetables! This curry soup has a tasty broth and bone-in chicken thigh simmered until fork-tender. It's a simple recipe that uses curry powder.Rinse the chicken well and season with a generous amount with salt and pepper so it won't taste plain. Although it depends on your brand of curry powder, this amount should be just enough to make it spicy. If you like it less spicy, adjust to about 1 to 2 teaspoons. You can add other spices to make your own variation. For 2-3 serving. Recipe by Toiroiro cookpad.japan -

Apple Cider Pulled Chicken Tartine Apple Cider Pulled Chicken Tartine
I was given a bottle of organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar as part of the Alce Nero's sponsorship. I didn't really make use of it. Instead, I add 2 TBSP of it into my drinking bottle as I know that apple cider vinegar act as an antioxidant and aids in weight loss. I also usually add apple cider to my salads as well. Other than that, I don't really know what to do with it. Call it a coincident or whatever you want to, I found a crock pot which my mother gave me ages ago in my storeroom; I was in a spring cleaning mood. As I unboxed the crock pot, I remembered my mother used to make apple chicken soup. And I also remembered that apple cider is the main ingredient.I phoned up my mum and asked for the recipe. Somehow or rather, I can't help but change the whole recipe and make it into my own. I replaced the Chinese herbs with some Western spices. Instead of adding chicken stock, I only use apple cider vinegar as the only liquid ingredient. My mother will be thinking that I must be crazy. Lol! Anyway, as I was cooking the chicken, I kinda improvised along the way and this is how this open faced sandwich is born.The magic of using a crock pot or slow cooker is that it is able to retain the liquid. It will not dry out the chicken breast or any other kinda meat and you don't have to worry about the dish burning. Maybe I should start using the crock pot more often. I am thinking of BBQ pulled chicken or even teriyaki pulled chicken. Let's see. As for now, I really hope you wil Daniel Lim -

Spicy Shredded Chicken Dip Spicy Shredded Chicken Dip
Chicken dip was not even in the cards for me. I had never even attempted one. I was watching the Tonight Show a couple days ago and they did a dip competition. I was mildly intrigued. After I went food shopping, I was cleaning out the freezer and I saw some chicken... I noticed I picked up cream cheese. I then remembered it was Super Bowl Sunday... Karl -

Mexican-Style Shredded Chicken Mexican-Style Shredded Chicken
Use it for tacos, burritos, or whatever you'd like with this perfectly spiced, super tender shredded chicken.If you go with tacos, keep it simple. Garnish with diced onion, chopped Cilantro, a squirt of lime and just a few crumbles of good authentic Mexican queso cheese on top of a warm soft corn tortilla. Let the chicken shine through, it's awesome.I've got alot of pride in this recipe. It took a long, long time to get here but it's close to perfection.It freezes really well and can be reheated from frozen without much effort, so scale up the recipe and freeze it in a bunch of freezer bags so you can have it at the ready whenever you need.
