Thai-Spiced Cilantro Chicken

July 15, 2010

I have to give credit to “What’s Cooking Thai” by Christine France. This is a wonderful fast and easy receipe that I make when I crave the taste of ginger and cilantro. Don’t be put off by the list of ingredients – you can vary things quite a bit and it will still be wonderful.

4-6 chicken breasts (with or without bone)
2 – 4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 fresh green chili, deseeded *
3/4 inch fresh ginger, peeled
4 Tablespoons fresh cilantro
Finely grated rind of 1 lime
3 Tablespoons lime juice (fresh is best, bottled if nothing else)
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup coconut milk **

*if you don’t have a green chili (and who usually does?), use green or red chili paste or dried chili flakes
**Use the rest of the coconut milk from the can for the recipe “Garlic and coconut sweet potatoes”

1. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a wide, non-metalic dish.
2. Put the garlic, chili, ginger, cilantro, lime rind and juice, soy sauce, sugar and coconut milk in a food processor and process until a smooth puree forms.
3. Spread the puree over both sides of the chicken breasts.
4. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 1 hour.
5. Serve as is on the table or lift out the chicken breasts and put the wonderful juice in something to serve along side.

Which is More Dangerous: The Medical System or Raw Milk?

Every year in the US there are:

7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals;

20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals;

80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals;

106,000 deaths from FDA-approved correctly prescribed medicines.

The total of medically-caused deaths in the US every year is 225,000.

This makes the medical system the third leading cause of death in the
US, behind heart disease and cancer.

Fall 2011 – As the seasons turn . . .

Another grazing season is coming to an end.  As seasons go, it wasn’t too bad.  It really could have rained in August.  We didn’t get an inch rain until the middle of September, which is too late for the pastures to respond before a killing frost.  This means we will be buying a few more [...]
