Chicken with Onion sauce

This is such a simple recipe, yet the taste tells a completely different story! It is creamy, full of round flavours and warming. Simply beautiful!!

Preparation time: 5min
Cooking time: >1 hour
Difficulty Level: Very Easy
Serves: 5

Ingredients

5 pieces of chicken (I cooked from frozen)
1 star anise
1 packet of white onion soup powder
1tbs Bisto
Water

Method

Place the 5 pieces of chicken and the star anise in a pot with a little water (just covering the bottom). 

Cover with the lid and cook for 30min on medium heat. 

 After 30 min. pour off the excess water into a measuring jug. Fill up with water to 500ml. Whisk in the soup powder and pour over the chicken. 

Cook a further 15 minutes
Mix the Bisto in 500ml water. Pour over the chicken. Mix well. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. 

Depending on how thick you want your sauce, you can either serve or cook a little longer for a thicker sauce. Depending on taste, you could add some salt, but I didn't. 

Serve with slightly turmeric flavoured rice or buttery mash.

And enjoy!!

Bacon, Onion & Cheese Roll

Very delicious and simple to make, and you can add almost anything to it. I again didn't add quantities, because maybe you like a little less onion or more cheese, and with this roll, you can swing it any way you like. Add green peppers, mushrooms and feta. Add salami. Replace the bacon with salami... the combinations are endless!
The ingredients is what I used to make this roll.

Ingredients:

1 roll puff pastry, defrosted
onion
cheese, grated  (I used processed cheese.)
bacon 
1 egg

Method

Roll out the puff pastry.

Cover with the bacon. 
Add the onion. Cover evenly.
Cover with cheese.
Roll up.


Whisk the egg with a little bit of water to make the eggwash. And brush your roll. Make a couple of slits on the top of the roll for the steam to escape.
Bake in the oven @ 160degrees C for half an hour, or until it browns nicely.

And serve!
