I call this dish Chicken Balsetta for its Basil. Its one of my staples.
What you’ll need:
rice (1/3 a cup per person)
chicken (~1 breast per person)
1 tomatoe
1/4 broccoli
2 small carrots
2 cloves of garlic
2 slices of onion
extra virgin olive oil
sesame seeds
celery seeds
basil
paprika
tarragon
salt/pepper
cardamom seeds
To start get the rice on to boil. Wash the rice a few times by running it under the water, and then (for white rice) add 1:1 water:rice and bring to a boil, then turn to low and set your time for 15 minutes.
While I wait for the rice to boil, I chop up my chicken into bite sized pieces, and put them in the frying pan, add a dash of olive oil and turn it on med-high temp.
At this point, I add all the spices. My favorite for all chicken dishes is tarragon, some paprika, sesame seeds are a must, celery seeds, and the spice to make the recipe: Basil!
Keep an eye on this when cutting up veges so that it doesn’t burn (ie. stir it frequently!)
I like to cut up my garlic and onions first, to quickly get them in with the chicken to give it more flavor, but thats me.
Then cut up the carrots (and any other veges you so choose to add, just not the tomato) and throw them in when the chicken is almost done.
When this whole mix is almost done put your chopped up tomato’s into the mix, you just want to warm them up so that they don’t get soft on you, but still warm (this is how I like them personally).
Mind your rice, it should be done about the same time. The chicken usually takes me about 10 min, the rice 15 min always. So, just time it right.
I like to serve mine with a side of a few slices of tomato to make it look extra pretty!
Enjoy!

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds

pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros

Baby Chickens Raising in
Lacona, Iowa
Quantity - you must order a certain number of chicks. Typically hatcheries
will require you buy a minimum of 25 chicks at a time. The number is
necessary for the chicks survival during shipping. All 25 chicks are put
in one small box without heat. They are crowded in the box and produce
enough body heat to arrive in good shape. * The wait - If you choose to
buy chicks from a feed store you will have them the same day but if you
choose to go with a hatchery you have to wait until they are ready to ship
and then wait for the chicks to arrive. Ordering baby chicks online in
Lacona Iowa is easy and has always been a very pleasant
experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks
but it's so worth the wait. When the post office calls and you hear all
those little "cheeps" or "chirps" in the background you'll know the wait
was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Lacona,
Iowa Baby chicks are really
charming and
challenging to resist,
but it's finest to plan for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare first
by compiling not just the
proper materials, but
additionally the appropriate
understanding to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
simple, you just should provide them with the following: A
clean as well as warm
habitat A lot of food as well
as water Focus and
love Environment Your habitat could be a
simple box, fish tank,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (with no loosened
strings!) to start, and after a
couple of weeks use straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing only
newspaper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could expand
misshapen. You likewise require
something to provide food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle container
lid for food and a pet dog bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Also, as the chicks grow older you could present a perch
into the habitat to obtain them
educated on perching. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you need to
offer them with a warmth source.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb also function extremely well (my
referral). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which could take up to two months). The freshly
hatched need a temperature
in between 90 and 100 levels,
as well as each week this can
be reduced by
roughly 5 degrees approximately. The heat source ought
to get on merely one side of the cage
to permit chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
other edge of your heat
lamp, you have to
reduce the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not simply curling up),
you should add some heat.
House cleaning
Tidiness is crucial as
well as it keeps your chicks healthy. Make sure to change
the bed linen
commonly and
always supply clean
food and also water Food and also water.
Chicks grow very quickly
which requires lots of clean
food as well as water. Give
enough at all times as well
as examine
frequently to prevent parched and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is various than adult chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated and
also non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, after that
switch over to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
and afterwards to a slightly
reduced protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks prefer to get a running start on taking
filth bathrooms, while others won't occupy that task until they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to bathe in.
Focus and love There are a
few benefits to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will certainly most
likely bond with you and also
not run away as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
view their habits, you could
catch disease or other issues previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, limping, or
various other undesirable
signs. Be sure to
additionally check out
their poop, as diarrhea can lead
to matted feathers and also clogged cloaca.
Lastly, it is essential to look out
for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining badgered. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently completely feathery
and its time for them to leave the
security of your house
and also move outside into a cage. Look into our
section on chicken coops to get more information
about coops as well as
appropriate coop environments.
