In this easy 40-minute recipe, chicken breast is coated in a tasty rub, then baked in a hot oven until perfectly juicy. I’m always on the lookout for ways to make chicken breasts more interesting. Easy chicken cordon bleu is a huge favorite around here, and so is bacon-wrapped chicken. I have several more excellent recipes in my arsenal, and this Cajun chicken is definitely one of them. It’s delicious, VERY easy to make, and even the leftovers are great - I especially like them in a salad....

Instant tapioca pearl Happy days, I was able to make my own boba coffee and tea at home under 15 minutes. At every point in time, I have a stash of cold brew tea or cold brew coffee and simple sugar syrup in my fridge, so that makes the recipe very simple to recreate as ABC. This homemade bubble coffee (boba coffee) recipe is Easy and Quick Perfect with leftover coffee...

Summer really isn’t trying very hard this year. A few lovely days, then back to rain and clouds again. I’m still living in hope of summer-dress-wearing-sangria-drinking-BBQ-eating days throughout July and August before I start to live off stews and soups and custard covered puddings. This gorgeous Broad Bean and Quinoa Caprese Salad is one of my ways of telling myself it’s JULY!! Days out, beer gardens, picnics, dinner outside. I’m channeling all the positive vibes....

Caramel Brownies Caramel + brownies in itself isn’t an original idea and if you do a Google search, you’ll find plenty of examples. And I would have used an existing recipe if I found what I was after, but every recipe I came across: Used store-bought caramel; The caramel was runny, more like a caramel sauce, usually drizzled on top of the brownie; or Required a candy thermometer to get the caramel to the exact temperature so it would soft set, rather than ending up runny OR cooking it too far so it ends up like hard toffee....

I’ve shared many a recipes that I say are deceptively easy. From dumplings to quiches, with process photos and videos, even first-timers are able to follow along and are delighted to crown themselves Dumpling Queens, Wonton Kings, or Quiche Masters. (Self-proclaimed titles are fully encouraged around here!) Char Kway Teow is probably the first recipe ever that I’m going to describe as deceptively difficult. What may seem to be quite a straightforward stir fried noodle dish is actually a bit of an art that’s been perfected by Malaysian street hawkers, and it’s taken me this long to share the recipe because I wanted to ensure I could make it doable for anyone....

Once you learn how to brine chicken and taste the incredible results, you will never look back! Chicken Brine Brining is the process whereby chicken (or other meat) is submerged in a salty liquid (“brine”) and left to marinate to add flavour, tenderise AND add moisture so the chicken stays juicier when roasted. It injects flavour and seasoning right into the flesh of a whole chicken in a way that no other method can, even by slathering liberally with herb and garlic butter under the skin which is my favourite non-brining way to roast chicken....

If you want to go all out, serve this with Soft No-Yeast Flatbreads to slop up the sauce (it’s basically naan, but much easier to make!) Chicken Curry Curries are notorious for lengthy ingredient lists to achieve the richly spiced sauces and punchy flavours. And while we’d all love to be able to whip up a from-scratch Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken whenever the craving hits us, it’s simply not viable....

Isn’t homemade chicken noodle soup just so inviting! You know you’re going to get covered in splatters, and that there’s simply no way of eating it elegantly. You will have broth dribbling down your chin and impossibly long noodles hanging out of your mouth. But it doesn’t matter. Everybody else is in the same boat, and it tastes just so flippin good that it’s worth being subjected to the toddler-esque napkin tucked in the neck of your t-shirt....

You mix the ingredients in your food processor, then freeze them, making sure to stir the mixture once in a while until it’s completely frozen. I love making homemade froyo! Much like baking, it’s the magic of watching a mixture of ingredients turn into something completely different. And so very delightful! Intensely chocolatey and delightfully creamy, this chocolate frozen yogurt recipe is the result of several attempts at getting to perfection....

The only drawback: leftovers don’t keep well, so plan on only making as much as you can eat right away. The longer I’m on a low-carb diet, the more I realize that there are very few treats I truly have to give up. Over the years, I have learned to make tasty keto alternatives for many beloved treats. Happily, Pizza is certainly one of the foods that you don’t have to give up....

And…. welcome to GRILLING WEEK!!🔥🔥🔥 🔥Welcome to GRILLING WEEK!🔥 With 4th of July around the corner and several pending invitations to “pop over to the States” to join the festivities, I thought I’d get the party started with GRILLING WEEK here on RecipeTin Eats!! Here’s a little preview of what’s in store – if this doesn’t make your stomach grumble, you’re either made of stone, or a vegetarian…. 😂...

Dan Dan Noodles The beautiful Northern Beaches area of Sydney in which I live is many things….but certainly not known for great authentic Sichuan food!!! And given that Dan Dan Noodles is literally one of my all time top 3 foods, it was essential that I arm myself with a totally doable home version that is everything you want in a bowl of slippery, spicy noodles laced with the sesame flavoured Dan Dan Noodle Sauce, wafting with the scent of Chinese five spice....

I can totally eat this for dinner with nothing else. Yes it makes a beautifully indulgent side dish with steak or salmon or roast lamb, but a double helping of this glorious dish, eaten whilst sat on the sofa in my PJs? Heaven. What do we need? Steps to make it (Full ingredients and recipe instructions in recipe card below) Potato Gratin is often a term used interchangeably with dauphinoise potatoes....

How to make egg fried rice like Chinese takeaway If you are looking for an easy and delicious rice recipe, this egg fried rice is it! This dish comes together quickly, 5 minutes and you are done, more importantly, it is made in one pan and packed with flavor. When I order takeaway either Chinese or Indian, I never order rice because I can quickly whip it up while I wait for the rest of my takeaway....

Personally the duck course is usually my favourite when we go out for Chinese. We all fight over the last bits of meat and wonder why we only ordered a quarter or a half of duck between us (even though we know full well that we haven’t even got to the main course yet). So today I’m presenting my own version of Peking duck. A whole duck for a fraction of the price it costs in a Chinese restaurant, and less squabbling because we all get a nice big portion!...

Use it to make giant pastrami sandwiches on rye, or Reuben sandwiches! Homemade Pastrami recipe If Katz’s Deli isn’t my first stop when I land in New York, it’s my second or third stop – and probably only because I had a prior dinner commitment. Yes, I’m that obsessed with pastrami sandwiches. Let’s be clear about one thing here – this is not a pastrami sandwich as many people know them here in Australia....

This low-calorie vegetable soup recipe is only less than 300 calories per serving and it’s a perfect recipe for the winter months. Truth be told, I eat soup any time of the year, but it tastes better and more comforting in this cold period. Imagine the warmth of eating this nutritious simple veggie soup in front of the fireplace (Not that I own a real one, but I do in front of my artificial fireplace)....

Doesn’t the yolk look fantastic? It would put a smile on anyone’s face, cutting into a quesadilla and discovering that. 🙂 Sure, you could just have scrambled eggs inside the quesadilla. But this is so much more interesting! Plus, I have a thing about whole eggs. I just love soft yolks. It’s my favourite part of the egg. I just don’t get all those health-conscious people who order egg white omelettes....

15 minutes, start to finish, with 3 minutes prep time. EMERGENCY Corn Chowder Soup! For busy people everywhere – this is the easy soup recipe of your dreams. This Corn Chowder Soup is possibly the most effortless hearty soup I know how to make that’s 100% as delicious as it sounds and looks. I call it an emergency recipe because it calls for barely any prep, involving not much more than popping open a couple of cans....

Why the heck is this my first falafel recipe on the blog? I make falafel (falafel? falafels? I don’t know the plural) all the time! I think I’ve made various falafel recipes for other pieces of freelance work, so I just presumed I had one somewhere on the blog. But nope. Truly sorry I’ve let you down. So I’m remedying the situation with this falafel salad bowl from my new Seriously Good Salads book (I’ve also shared my Salmon Sushi Bowl and Chimichurri Steak Salad from the book if you want to check them out)....
