Chicken Livers and Garlic Bread

“Where did it fall?” Elisha asked.

2 Kings 6:6

A little background of today’s scripture. Picture a group of prophets cutting down trees with axes, one of the prophets loses his ax head into the water and he becomes really upset and worried because well well the ax was borrowed. Wait a minute and quickly imagine the ax as anything you have lost that actually God borrowed you – yep that skill that only you have, that passion, that talent, that heart of serving, your purpose🙆🏽‍♀️, your love for blogging😉. Our introduction can’t be this long🙈 we will carry on with this story tomorrow.

It’s a new week and we have a new theme. We shall call it 🥁🥁🥁 “Chicken Delicacies”. Yep, all things inside a chicken😋 and we start off with the ever so yummy chicken livers.

Started by sautéing (let me use this word for a lil longer🙈) mushrooms and bell peppers in a garlic and ginger paste.

Then I added my chicken livers in this mix, kept stirring because we don’t want burnt livers here but don’t overdo the stirring lest they lose their original shape (you know what I mean right)

In went this curry and smoked paprika from https://www.woolworths.co.za and my favorite sea salt from https://www.paarmans.co.za

Favorite part has to be sauces, I love sauces you guys. I used prego, tomato and sweet chili

Forgot to take a picture of the garlic bread I used but I am certain any can be used💁🏽‍♀️ be sure to follow the instructions on its packaging.

Dished Up, Served and We Enjoyed😋😋

Butternut Rounds meet Sweet Chicken and Creamy Spinach

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24

I don’t know if it is because I declared that I will not only be excited about serving but I will wake up everyday looking forward to it. Indeed there is so much power in declarations, I woke up this morning so glad thinking that this is the day that the Lord has made, this is a brand new day and blogging like serving just takes a day at a time.

We are wrapping up our “Rice, Chicken and Veggies” theme, I got WhatsApp messages from my contacts saying they have tried some of the recipes and enjoyed them. Glory be unto to God🙌🏽

We close off our theme with a “Sunday Meal”. First things first – chicken seasoning, this is what I used. Then into the oven it went.

For the spinach, I started with frying mushrooms then added my washed spinach, seasoned with my favorite sea salt.

I made a sauce for my chicken in the meantime, which consisted of sweet chili, monkey gland and lime juice. No measurements there – your chef intuition must just come through 😅. Poured it on my almost cooked chicken and put it back to the oven.

Took out salted butter and sautéed (I’ve always wanted to use this word🙈) the butternut rounds, no seasoning required here because our butter is salted💁🏽‍♀️

Added cream to my spinach and mushrooms mix – please do forgive me because I honestly don’t remember which one I used, forgot to take a picture but you can see it looks delish already.

Paired my rice with sweet corn this time around. This is how my chicken came out like.

Rice, Veggies and a Thigh

Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.

1 Timothy 6:17b

I initially thought that this week we will have vegetables and chicken, but I realized when I was preparing my meal that we actually haven’t had rice in a very long time so being a believer of all things given to us for pure enjoyment, why not enjoy rice this week, carbs and all.

First things first – let’s get our chicken thighs marinaded in a quick sauce. I don’t always use store bought marinades because I know I can be creative like that😁, I used a Steers Monkey Gland Sauce, Wellington’s Sweet Chilli Sauce and the ever so tasty Spur Chicken Spice, combinations like these always produce the yummiest results.

Since this is supposed to be a quick dinner, I put my marinaded chicken in the microwave for about 6 minutes because we need all the flavors right. Then straight to the oven.

Then on to the vegetables – you can never go wrong with frozen mixed vegetables hey, they are God’s gift to us🙌🏽. I mixed mine with sweetcorn because #color💁🏽‍♀️. Cooked them with a vegetables stock, garlic, herbs and green onion.

Cooked my basmati rice on the side.

Dished Up, Served and Enjoyed😋😋
