If there is one thing I can eat forever, that is chicken. Growing up with this meat, I know lots of ways to cook it – from tinola, curry, to simple fried chicken. It is a staple on our freezer and on our plates.
Bounty Fresh Chicken Barbecue served best with atchara or pickled papaya
Now I am a mom, I learned that there’s more to chicken than just flexibility & versatility in terms of recipe and preparation time. At the Bounty Fresh launch at Chef’s Table, me and other mommy bloggers were informed about chicken’s nutritional value by Joan P. Sumpio, a Fellow of the Philippine Association of Nutrition.
Chicken is packed with:
– Protein, for muscle growth and repair
_ Phosporus, helps our bodies produce more energy
– Vitamin B3 and B6, for healthy skin
– Selenium, protects cells from damage
I remember many old folks advised me to eat chicken tinola to produce more breastmilk for my little boy. We prepared it with lots of papaya which also induces lactation according to some.
Mix your chicken with veggies like this Bounty Fresh Chicken Sotanghon
Although chicken is healthy, the way you prepare it also counts. It’s best to prepare chicken with leafy vegetables. I like preparing chicken with potatoes, bell peppers, tomatoes, and spices when making chicken marsala.
Chicken must be stored properly and during the Bounty Fresh Chicken Launch, I asked celebrity gourmet chef, Bruce Lim how chicken must be stored properly. Watch my video interview below:
Bounty Fresh Dressed Whole Chickens are processed in its state-of-the-art and world-class facilities. The unique processing methods include triple washing carefully grown chickens (first of its kind) and vacuum-packing immediately to preserve the freshness and flavour.
Like what Chef Bruce said, Bounty Fresh offers marinated chicken in groceries nationwide. These are prepared with Bounty fresh recipes which are tried and tested. Did you know, they also own Chooks-to-Go? The roast chicken that doesn’t need sauce.
One of the speakers said they also offer free-range chickens. I am excited to put these happy chickens in my grocery basket. I know free-range is the way to go, best for animals, and best for our health. Kudos to Bounty Fresh for bringing free-range chicken in the market.
In the meantime, I would like to share one of my best chicken recipes –
Mommy Lace’s Chicken in Curry and Tomato Sauce.
You’ll need:
1 can of coconut milk
1 pack tomato sauce
curry powder
nutmeg powder
chili powder
small cut chicken parts
garlic, onion, bell peppers
potato
1. Fry the chicken parts in a little amount of vegetable oil until they are cooked. Remove from pan. Fry the potatoes next, remove from pan.
2. Saute garlic, onion on the same pan until brown and clear. Put 2 teaspoons of curry and 2 teaspoons of chili powder. Depends on your taste actually. Put a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon powder too if available.
3. Mix the spices together into a paste. Pour coconut milk and tomato sauce.
4. Pour in the chicken you fried earlier. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Stir until sauce is thick and chicken has absorbed the curry-tomato sauce.
Serve with a smile.
