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!

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

Baby Chickens Facts in

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
Alpena Michigan 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 Alpena,
Michigan Baby chicks are really
cute and
hard to withstand,
yet it's finest to prepare for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first
by collecting not just the
appropriate materials, however
likewise the correct
expertise to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
easy, you just have to supply them with the following: A
clean and warm and comfortable
environment Lots of food and water Attention and
love Environment Your habitat can be a straightforward box, fish tank,
cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and also
blankets (without any loosened
strings!) to begin, and also after a
couple of weeks utilize straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of only
paper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You likewise need
something to serve up food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle container
lid for food and a family
pet bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Likewise, as the chicks grow older you can introduce a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
trained on perching. Warmth To
keep your chicks heat you have to
offer them with a warmth source.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally function very
well (my
referral). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which can occupy to 2 months). The freshly
hatched require a temperature
between 90 and also 100 levels,
and each week this could
be minimized by
roughly 5 levels or
so. The warmth resource need to be on merely one side of the cage
to permit chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
contrary corner of your heat
light, you should
lower the temperature level. If
they are smothering each other under the
heat (not merely curling up),
you should add some warmth.
House cleaning
Sanitation is key as
well as it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to transform
the bed linens
frequently and also
consistently provide tidy
food and also water Food as well as water.
Chicks expand quite fast
which requires a lot of clean
food and water. Supply
enough whatsoever times and also check
usually to avoid parched as well as
starving chicks. Chick food is different than adult chicken food, and it is available in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
very first 2 months, after that
switch over to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
then to a slightly
lower healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks want
to obtain a head start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others won't take
up that activity till they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
enclosure, present a tray of sand or
filth for them to wash in.
Focus as well as love There are a couple of benefits to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will certainly more than likely bond with you and
not escape as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
watch their actions, you could
catch health problem or various
other issues previously. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
various other undesirable
indicators. Make certain to
additionally check out
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted plumes as well
as obstructed cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to watch out for social concerns, such as the
smallest chick getting badgered. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are now totally feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
as well as relocate outside right into a cage. Take a look at our
section on chicken cages for more information
about cages and also
appropriate cage environments.
