I'm stalled ..chicken thighs?

[BrassicaBabe]

Im having one of those days. My brain is a fog! Ideas and creativity are a black hole to me! Inspiration has fecked off.

What can I do with a heap of chicken thigh filllets for family dinner? (No skin, no bones). Hob, oven or air fryer.

Thanks!

What vegetables and carbs do you have in?

the chicken recipe in this link is absolutely delightful, and fairly low effort.

An adaptation of an Elizabeth David recipe. Slice up 6 onions. Put in a heavy based pan or dish with a lid. Pour over a big slug of olive oil. Chicken thighs on top. Pour over more olive oil, and plenty of salt & pepper.
Cook in the oven at 180° for about an hour - I leave the lid off for the last ten minutes so the meat browns a little, but you don't have to. Add freshly chopped parsley. Serve with fried bread.
The original recipe uses a whole chicken and includes olives as well, which you add at the end. I've tried with chicken thighs and it worked a treat!

Seems like an insane amount of onion but it cooks down into a delicious chicken-y onion-y soupy sauce.

We have some recipes from meals by Mitch that involve thighs. Also we have a Nando's chicken meal and that works well with thighs

Slice each one lengthways, so you have long strips of chicken, then marinate in olive oil, garlic and lemon juice (salt and black pepper). Then thread them on to skewers and griddle (if you have a griddle) or fry/roast till nicely browned/charred.

This oven cooked shawarma recipe (I often slice some peppers on to the roasting pan with a splash of olive oil too before adding the chicken mix to up the veg content). Lovely with wraps and a Shiraz salad and some Greek yoghurt.

God that sounds good. Thanks for sharing.

air fryer with a spice mix on top - cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, garlic granules. serve with roasted veg and some cheese sprinkled on top

This is fab and easy but needs a bit of time. I've also used basmati rice and gave the second part 40 mins instead of an hour.

https://www.recipetineats.com/one-skillet-baked-chicken-shawarma-and-rice-pilaf/ this is delicious

keep meaning to try this https://www.recipetineats.com/oven-baked-chicken-and-rice/

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/chicken-chorizo-rice-pot this is good but the rice takes twice as long as it says

Oh yes https://ottolenghi.co.uk/recipes/slow-cooked-chicken-with-a-crisp-corn-crust this is good too, doesn’t need the crust (IMO the filling doesn’t really go with the crust)

oh gaaaah just read the bit about no bones and skin.

Ok ignore all my suggestions except the Ottolenghi.

I’ll give you this instead

And this. Kecap Manis is available in some supermarkets (I know waitrose has it), I don’t advise making your own it’s a PITA.

Thank you!!

I know I have Google and cookbooks etc. but sometimes a recommendation from an ACTUAL PERSON is worth a heap! 🥰

I'll def do one of these. Just can't decide which one.

The onion one is essentially intriguing.

We do this with thighs

This is gorgeous. Very rich indeed! https://littlesunnykitchen.com/marry-me-chicken/ It says breasts in the recipe but skinless, boneless thighs would be absolutely fine.

This and let me know how it goes? Dh picked it, I'm defrosting the chicken to make it tomorrow... I'm not a fan of thighs but that's what it calls for.
