One Dish Chicken Recipes And Food Safety

By Enid Hinton


When it comes to recipes which include chicken or fish, it is essential to assure that all bones have been removed before combining the foods. In the case of a dish where the poultry is left on the bone, it is often advised that parents remove the meat from the bone before serving the child. Another is to avoid salmonella poisoning by never leaving food out on the counter to sit whether raw, or cooked.

All in all, poultry is one of the most versatile food sources on the planet. While healthier than beef, pork and poultry can often be interchanged in a number of recipes. As such, when exploring recipes, recognize that ingredients can always be substituted. Something that is also the case for vegans and vegetarians. There are now a number of poultry-free alternative meats which can generally be found in the grocery's freezer section.

A clay pot, crock pot, oven or grill are often the preferred cooking methods for poultry. Whether a home or professional check desires to remove the bones is a personal decision. Though, if one does not and serves the meal to someone who becomes choked on a bone, then the individual may need medical attention, not to mention the potential of a lawsuit if the individual was eating at a restaurant at the time.

An oven on the other hand can be used for a number of different style dishes. Casseroles, pastas and other foods can make for a great meal. One of the most uncommon of chicken dishes is that of chili, though it has proven to be quite tasty to a number of individuals. As this version has recently made an appearance on at least one television cooking show, there is no doubt it will become more popular with home and professional in the future.

A few ideas for this type dish are, casserole, lasagna, stuffed breasts and others. Spinach and cheese can make a very nice stuffing for a number of items. Whereas chicken chili in a slow cooker can be quite good. Of course, while one can stuff a whole bird, generally its good to have more than just poultry and stuffing so most often this is not considered a complete meal.

The heath concerns associated with meat, poultry and seafood need be taken quite seriously. Also, if any of these foods are recalled, it is best to return or throw away the product as soon as possible. Otherwise, these foods may be mistaken for newer ones resulting in a severe illness of anyone who partakes of potentially tainted food.

Marinades can be used to flavor a number of different foods. Some marinades are dry, while others are wet. Depending on the cooking style, one may work better than the other. Regardless, when using any type of marinade it is important that the marinade be refrigerated during the process, generally 4-6 hours is recommended for poultry.

Another way to make food more interesting is to use either dry or liquid marinades. These items can be used in all the different cooking methods. Although, it should be noted that the cook need check the label on the marinade, and avoid using any that could flame up during the cooking process.

Recipes can now be found on a number of food oriented websites. The FoodNetwork and Food TV websites also host all recipes shown on various programming. While these are good, bookstores and libraries often host a variety of books with recipes whether based in a single tradition, or multiple ones.
