Honey Sesame Chicken with Garlic Rice.

The chicken is sticky, sour and sweet; tastes great with the rice but two things to take care of while making this: Image courtesy: Cooking with Crystal. 1. Make sure you have the right kind of honey. Some types leave a certain smell and taste that overpowers and completely ruins the dish. What you're looking for isn't the flavor of the honey. It's the sticky texture and the smoky sweetness you can't get from processed sugar. If you're not a fan of honey, you can use unprocessed brown sugar but it won't retain the quality or texture given by using honey. 2. The sauce needs to be just right. If it's too thick, you won't be able to eat it with the rice because it'll dry up once cold. If it's too thin, it'll ruin the chicken and produce a dish that at best can be pronounced 'blah'. We're not looking for blah. We're looking for wowza. Okay, back to the recipe. Ingredients Chicken Chicken Breast 5

Olive Cheddar Bruschetta.

Great snack for the Italian cuisine lovers out there, especially if you've got leftover bread or burger buns. Ingredients Burger Buns The long ones, about 2-4 Butter For spreading Salt A pinch Black Pepper ½ tsp Oregano ¼ tsp Olive Oil 2-4 tbsp Cheddar Cheese ½ cup Olives (green or black, either will do) ¼ cup (chopped) Tomato ½ cup (chopped) Method Cut the buns in half and spread butter on them. In a bowl, mix together the tomatoes, olives, olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Spoon a little bit of the mixture on all the buns and top with cheese. Sprinkle some oregano on the top and grill until golden. Serve hot. 

Spinach Mozzarella Omelette.

Quick. Simple. SO GOOD. Ingredients Eggs 2 Salt To taste Black Pepper ¼ tsp Red Chili Powder ½ tsp Oregano ¼ tsp Spinach Leaves Washed and chopped into little pieces Mozzarella Cheese ½ cup Oil For frying Method Beat the eggs and add the seasoning with the spinach leaves. The quantity of the spinach is up to you; I used about  ½ cup but you can adjust according to your taste. Oil a pan and spread the mixture on it. Once the bottom side is lightly cooked, flip and sprinkle the cheese all over it. Fold in half and gently cook on low heat until done. Serve hot. 

Spicy Chicken Tortilla Wraps with Mexican Rice

I have only these words of warning for you: Lots of tomato puree. Lots of onion. Lots of spice. If you're not a fan of either of those, please go look at another milder, less tomatoey recipe. This one here is not what you want. For those who do love Mexican food (albiet a bit desi style) you'll use this recipe again and again. Seriously. It's long. Has a lot of steps but it's pretty simple and completely worth it. Also, those leftovers omg.
