NIF'S CHICKEN AND SPAGHETTI WITH A MIDDLE EASTERN TWIST



Nif's Chicken and Spaghetti With a Middle Eastern Twist image

Provided by Nif_H

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 whole chicken, 3 to 3 1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin (more if you like it)
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt & freshly ground black pepper
chicken broth, if necessary
1/3 cup raisins, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes and drained
1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 lb spaghetti (or fettucine, tagliatelle or linguine)
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Pour oil into a small bowl and mix in cumin, allspice and cayenne pepper. Using your hands rub the seasoned oil all over your chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken, breast-side down in a roasting pan and roast for about 1 1/2 hours, or until well browned and cooked through, turning it over toward the end to brown the breast. When the chicken's nearly ready, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Take the chicken out of the oven and take the meat off the bone, leaving the skin on, except for the thick fatty stuff. Tear the chicken into medium-sized pieces. Make sure you tear the chicken apart over the roasting pan so you keep the juices in there for the sauce. You can use a knife and fork to tear it apart or wait until it is cooler and do it with your hands. Discard bones and put the chicken meat aside and keep warm.
  • For the sauce, pour all the juices from the roasting pan into a saucepan. You will need about 1 cup, so add chicken broth if necessary. Add the drained sultanas and the pine nuts. Begin to simmer the sauce when you are ready to cook the pasta. Very important - taste the sauce and add more seasoning if you think it needs more.
  • Cook and drain the pasta (Do NOT rinse your pasta), and toss it in the warm pot with the sauce until spaghetti is coated. Add chicken pieces and gently toss and put in large bowl. Sprinkle with almonds and parsley.

STIR-FRIED EGG NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND SHRIMP



Stir-Fried Egg Noodles with Chicken and Shrimp image

The noodles for this stir-fried egg noodles with chicken and shrimp dish are cooked into crisp individual pancakes that catch the juices from the vegetables, chicken, and shrimp.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces Chinese egg noodles (linguine can be substituted)
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, diced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 medium shallots (2 1/2 ounces total), peeled and minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock, skimmed of fat
Nonstick cooking spray
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast (2 breast halves), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 scallions, trimmed, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced
1 bunch broccoli rabe (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and blanched
4 Thai chile peppers or 1 medium jalapeno pepper
1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Stir in noodles and cook until just tender, about 3 to 7 minutes, or according to package instructions. Remove from heat, drain, and transfer to a large bowl. Add jalapeno, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well to combine and set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine shallots, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and stock; set aside.
  • Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Using tongs or a fork, transfer about a sixth of the noodles into skillet. Press noodles down with the back of a spatula and cook until crisp and golden, about 4 to 5 minutes; the noodles will cook together and form a pancake. Turn noodles over and cook the other side for 4 to 5 minutes more. Carefully transfer noodle pancake to a baking sheet and set in a low oven to keep warm. Repeat the process, cooking a sixth of the noodles at a time, until 6 pancakes have been formed.
  • Return skillet to medium heat and add the remaining teaspoon sesame oil. Add the chicken and cook, tossing often, until golden brown all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a small bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Add scallions, broccoli rabe, chile peppers, and cabbage to skillet. Pour the reserved ginger-stock mixture over vegetables, raise heat to high, and cook until vegetables are limp and tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and add shrimp. Cook, stirring often, until shrimp is pink and opaque and chicken is hot, about 3 to 5 more minutes.
  • Remove the noodle pancakes from oven and place one on each of 6 plates. Divide the stir-fry among the pancakes and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use will make a big difference in the taste of the dish. Use a hard cheese like Parmesan or Asiago for a nutty flavor, or a soft cheese like mozzarella or ricotta for a creamier texture.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: Feel free to add your own personal touches to the recipe. You can add different herbs, spices, or vegetables to create a dish that is unique to you.

Conclusion:

Baked pasta with shrimp and chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
