‘Twas the night before Christmas! Have you read or heard that story? It’s a Christmas classic. On Christmas eve, in my home, we have a tradition…we all dress up and have dinner and then sit around the tree to read this story and have the children perform for us. Do you have any Christmas traditions? They make Christmas that much more special! But I digress…

Are you thinking of what to serve up on the day? Or for the different guests coming over? Are you worried that, though you want to cook and eat healthy, you just may not keep up with it?

Let me share one of my favourite recipes for cooking delicious chicken. I actually learnt to do the very first time while in med. school…don’t worry 😀 It’s a lot more than student grub!

Cut up your chicken into sizes you’re comfortable with. It would really be a great idea to remove the skin of the chicken 😀 Add onions and your spices to the chicken pieces (garlic, ginger, a little salt, pepper if you like spicy etc). If you can, cover with cling film and let it marinade overnight (let the spices really penetrate into the chicken).

Then add the chicken pieces to a pot and place over very low heat and allow the chicken to cook. Keep stirring such that the chicken cooks and even ‘sorta’ fries itself 😀 This is my brand of broiling 😀 You can also do this in the oven. Serve some pieces up with salad as a meal, or with jollof rice or alone as finger food for your guests. It tastes really, really delicious!

By the way, it wasn’t an error that there were no added oil or water. They are not needed.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

I hope y’all had a great day 😀
