One Dish Chicken Recipes And Food Safety

By Enid Hinton


When it comes to making a quick or special dinner, some individuals prefer to create a single dish. One of the best foods to cook as part of a casserole, or other more elaborate concoction is that of poultry. Whether cooking on a stove top, or baking, one dish chicken recipes can save a lot of time in the kitchen.

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.

When it comes to complete meals, it is often best to use the oven, a crock pot, or grill. Depending on whether the individual is using an indoor, or outdoor grill, dry or marinades may be preferable. Generally, there will be information provided on the grill which provide information on what can, and can not be cooked accordingly.

The oven on the other hand can be used for dishes like chicken casseroles, and a number of Italian oriented recipes, all of which are complete. When making a complete dinner, it is important to use the proper bowls, pans, utensils and plating. In some cases, these full dinners can be quite large depending on the number of people who will be sharing the dish.

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.

There are some health concerns whether preparing and cooking pork, poultry, seafood, or other meats. First, it is essential that all these food items remain refrigerated until cooking time. Second, whether cooked or raw, it is never good to leave meat, poultry or seafood sitting out for long periods. Lastly, it is important to wash hands before and immediately after preparing a meal.

As these items are the most popular when it comes to salmonella poisoning, it is essential to always follow these rules regardless of how poultry, meat or seafood are to be prepared. When using marinades, it is often best to marinate chicken 4-6 hours in a cold refrigerator, never leave any meat sitting in marinade outside a fridge.

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.

A number of recipe oriented websites can now provide thousands of recipes with regards to this type dish and others. Most allow individuals to take and upload recipes. Whether taker, or uploader, it is often best to first read any and all guidelines related to posting on the website, whether food related, or otherwise.
