Chicken Meat Roasted with Pineapple and Bananas
October 6th, 2012 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
This easy yet very tasty chicken meat roast is perfect choice for romantic or family dinner.
If you buy pre-packaged boneless skinless chicken thighs (like me) all you need to do is to arrange them in baking pan, cover with layers of pineapple chunks, bananas slices, mayo and cheese, then stick pan to the oven.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice.
Pasta with Chicken and Mushroom Sauce
September 29th, 2012 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
Creamy chicken and mushroom sauce with feta cheese and parsley will work for any kind of pasta.
Don’t forget that different kinds of pasta require different time for cooking: check instructions on pasta package and adjust steps accordingly so both sauce and pasta are ready approximately in the same time.
By the way, white champignons can substitute for brown cremini mushrooms in this recipe.
Parmesan Chicken with Tomato Basil Sauce
August 25th, 2012 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
Chicken fried in breadcrumbs and parmesan breading, baked with tomato basil sauce is a perfect dish for the romantic dinner with mediterranean hints in taste.
You can use canned tomatoes instead of fresh to save some time and possible money, but I believe sauce prepared with fresh tomatoes tastes a way better.
Breadcrumbs are also easy to make at home by drying and then crumbling in blender couple of slices of italian bread.
Curry Chicken with Prunes and Dried Apricots
July 28th, 2012 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
I wasn’t a big fan of curry, until I actually tried it.
Some time ago we discovered a small family owned buffet which serves pakistani food that with no surprise comes with a lot of curry. And I like it a lot, in fact we are lunching there at least once a week.
So I wanted to try to cook with curry myself, and this is a dish I attempted first: creamy chicken with prunes and dried apricots and, of course, curry.
And it turned out great.
Chicken Liver with Mushrooms and Sour Cream
June 23rd, 2012 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
This is tender dish made of chicken livers cooked under sour cream and nutmeg sauce with mushrooms and carrots.
I love chicken liver for its texture and easiness to cook. However if for some reason you don’t like it or don’t have it, this dish can be also cooked with beef liver, just slice it in smaller pieces.
Chicken liver with mushrooms and sour cream goes great accompanied with boiled potatoes or buckwheat as a side dish. Serve it for lunch or dinner.
Chicken Stuffed Leeks
May 26th, 2012 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
When I saw recipe for stuffed leeks first time I decided for myself that I get to try cook something like this for sure: it looks unusual, have a lot of vegetables and doesn’t look hard to cook.
I decided to stuff them with chicken mince and rice and accompany it with tomato and bell pepper mix.
I did 2 layers pipes, but if you want to use less leeks you can separate leeks into 1 layer.
Veal with Mushrooms and Carrots

This is a recipe for tender veal stewed with mushrooms, carrots and pickled cucumbers in dry red wine and tomato sauce.
If you are searching for some main dish for special occasion or romantic dinner check it out.
In my opinion mashed potatoes are the best side dish for this main dish, if you are looking for one.
