How to Make Airline Chicken at Home

If you miss the food of airlines, then this airline chicken is just for you. Today, I am going to share how you can make chicken just like they serve in airlines.

Whenever I am travelling on a plane, I usually prefer eating chicken there. Once I wondered what the difference between the chicken they serve there is. I got to know that chicken doesn’t dry out as much as normal. So I checked for the recipe on the internet and got to know how we can make that kind of chicken at home.

Airline Chicken recipe includes seasoning chicken breasts with oil, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence and cayenne pepper. Take a skillet and cook chicken in olive oil. Then add butter, rosemary and thyme. At last pour chicken stock and boil until it reaches the desired thickness. Now the chicken is ready.

This recipe is a bit long recipe but don’t worry I have added the detailed steps in such a way that it would be easy for you to make the chicken. But here are some other amazing recipes that you should definitely try.

1. Chicken And Dumplings– I came across this Southern delicious chicken and dumplings in a buffet. It was so tasty that I had to try making it at home. This recipe is very delicious and you can enjoy it with your whole family.

2. Chicken Murphy– This recipe is a lovely mix of diced chicken breast, sausage, potatoes, white wine, and several other ingredients. The best thing is that you don’t have to be a great and experienced chef to cook delicious and amazing food.

3. Lobster Mushrooms– Lobster Mushroom is a kind of mushroom, although not a mushroom. The mold is formed on the mushroom by the attack of a parasite called  Hypomyces lactifluorum on it.
