Hello dear friends and fellow foodies!
In my search of new recipes and ideas I frequently come across ideas and suggestions that are just crazy! I mean crazy!
Yes, those ideas generally come from you, my readers, friends and fellow foodies. Interestingly enough, for some inexplicable reason, I can never resist the temptation to try them and crazily enough, they always turn out great! (which is why I ask that you keep sending me your “crazy” ideas and recipes)
Last week as we were chatting in the teacher’s room, a fellow teacher, Tulio, told me about a chicken recipe. Shockingly simple and particularly weird. Only two ingredients: Coke® and bouillon cubes.
I never expected it (as usual) the flavors are sweetish and mild, but delicious. In my version I added a few ingredients, maybe because I always feel weird about recipes with so few ingredients! The original Tulio recipe is great for completing some stir fry vegetables and goes great with plain white rice.
Enjoy!
Tulio’s Ingredients
- Chicken (ideally breasts or fillets)
- Coke® (Not promoting them but I am a Coke® fan)
- Bouillon cubes
I added
- A bit of vinegar.
- A bit of cayenne pepper.
- Salt and pepper.
Directions
Heat up your pan, add a bit of oil and the bouillon cubes. Add the chicken and start adding the Coke® slowly so it does not become watery. Allow to cook until ready (5-7 minutes) The caramel is great. I think my ingredients added a bit of contrast and a little kick.
Goes great with plain white rice.
Yes, your “crazy” recipes are always welcome!
A big hug from the warm Caribbean!
