Tesco Brands & Baked Herbs Potatoes

Ever go to Tesco and try some of its own brand of sauce or seasoning? They have a wide range of Tesco brands which are meant for UK market. Last weekend shopping at Tesco, I've come across this - Honey & Mustard cooking sauce. A creamy sauce made of mustard, carrot and honey. Well, with that sauce, I've come up with a simple chicken recipe and serve it on top of spaghetti. Besides that, I also grab some range of potatoes and baked it with herbs and honey to serve as side dish.






Creamy Honey & Mustard Chicken with Spaghetti



Ingredients:


500gm chicken (prefer to use whole chicken drumstick)




- cut into strips, remove skin
- seasoned with Worchester sauce, salt & pepper
- set it aside in refrigerator for 15mins to let the seasoning penetrate the meat

2big onions cut into cubes




1pkt of spaghetti





Spaghetti preparation:


Bring to boil a pot of water
Add in spaghetti (put some salt in water to make the spaghetti taste better)
Stir a few times to prevent spaghetti from sticking to the pot
Drain water out when spaghetti is soft, set it aside.



Cooking the chicken:


Heat oil in wok
Add in onions
Stir fry until fragrant, then add in chicken strips
Add some water
Add in Honey & Mustard sauce and stir
Simmer in low fire until chicken is soft & tender



Serve it on top of spaghetti and garnish with some dry parsley.






Baked Herbs Potatoes



Ingredients:


Grab a few types of potatoes, remove its skin and cut into cubes
(Try to cut it into same size so that cooking time would be the same)

Spread aluminium foil over baking tray
Spread even cut potatoes on baking tray
Sprinkle olive oil, dry oregano, parsley, season-all salt & honey over it

Voila! You have a nice healthy dish with fresh smell of herbs, sweet and sour taste of honey & mustard. Enjoy...
