Somewhat Asian Chicken

Another super easy chicken recipe. Now that Colin and I have a freezer again, I've been stockpiling chicken recipes to match the stockpile of frozen chicken we keep on hand. Not sure how authentically "Asian" this one is, but it's tasty and I've made it four or five times this year. It does take a little bit of planning, since you have to let the chicken marinate for a bit. But after that step, it's easy peasy. Plus, I bet you have all the ingredients in your kitchen right this second.

Thai Honey Peanut Chicken
from Tasty Kitchen

Ingredients
1 lb chicken, cut into bite-size pieces
¼ cups soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp garlic (minced)
1 tbsp peanut butter (or go crazy and put in two or three)
½ tsp curry powder
1 tsp hot sauce (optional)

Directions
1. Mix ingredients and marinate chicken for 2-3 hours. I just toss everything in a gallon ziploc bag and put it in the fridge.
2. Pour the whole thing into a pan and cook it, over medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes or until chicken is done.

Lazy Chicken

This is one of the easiest dishes I have ever made. All you need is chicken (you don't even have to thaw it!) and whatever spices you have in your kitchen. Prep time is practically nil, and then you just let the chicken hang out in the oven for an hour.

It's the same idea as jerk chicken. Mix a bunch of spices together, apply like a dry rub, and bake. 

Lazy Chicken

from Tasty Kitchen

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken (frozen, thawed, fresh, what-have-you)
6 tbsp assorted spices and/or herbs (I used chili powder, garlic powder, lemon-garlic chicken seasoning, ground ginger, oregano, salt, pepper... and probably a few other things)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line broiler pan with aluminum foil, and cut slits to allow fat to drain.
3. Place chicken on pan, and top with spices and/or herbs. Pat it down like a dry rub.
4. Bake for an hour, until cooked. THAT'S IT!
