More chicken variations: Indian Spice Chicken, Peach Wine Chicken

I made a few other variations of chicken this week. I made these recipes up on the fly as I was cooking, so they're not very advanced. I apologize for no images. The photos I took didn't turn out, and I was too hungry to try and perfect the art of a food photog.

Indian Spice Chicken

-Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I cut mine into chunks)

-Indian Spice Tea bags (2)

-Cinnamon

-Agave syrup

-Butter

-Hot water

1. Steep the two teabags in a mug with hot water for 5-10 minutes. Brew a mug of tea for yourself as well-the smell will be too delicious to resist.

2. Begin to cook the chicken in a large pan with a pat of butter. Pour the tea over the top after a few minutes. It will become very, very liquidy, but that will be drained off later.

3. Shake on some cinnamon, and continue cooking.

4. Three-quarters of the way through cooking the chicken, drain out most of the tea/"chicken stock". It may have boiled a bit in the pan. You can save it if you like (it tastes really good with rice).

5. Finish cooking the chicken.

6. Lightly sprinkle with agave, and toss around a bit in a bowl.

This chicken was my favorite! It made my little kitchen smell fantastic, and the tea 'marinade' was interesting, with enough subtle hints of other flavors to really appeal to the whole palate.

Peach "Wine" Chicken

-Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

-1-2 peaches, sliced, in a ziploc bag, a few days old so that they begin to ferment a bit

-Butter

-Brown sugar

1. Begin to cook the chicken in a pan with the butter.

2. Pour in the peach flesh/juice into the pan, and let it all cook together. Sprinkle on brown sugar.

3. When the chicken is done, sprinkle on some more brown sugar, and mix together.

This results in a very unique dish. It really does taste like you cooked the chicken in wine, but with a sweet, fruit-y finish. Peaches can probably be interchanged with any similar fruit. I'm thinking next time, I want to do mango.

This week was pretty delicious, but let me just say-THANK GOD I don't have any more chicken.
