Twisted Semi Fried Chicken in Strips

Another weekend and another cooking experiment. 

Ingredients
• Chicken Fillet 
• Beef Strips (you can also use Bacon, optional)
• Potatoes (cubes/sliced)
• Mixed Vegetables (diced carrots and green peas)2
• Crashed Garlic
• Onions (cut into 2)
• Bell Peppers
• Cheese
• Tomato Salsa
• Onions Stalks 
• Boiled Egg(s)
• Black Pepper, Oregano, Barbecue Seasoning (to taste)
• White or Red Wine (to taste, optional)
• Tablespoon of Cooking Oil
• Tablespoon of Butter

Preparation and Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Before cooking, make sure that all ingredients are well washed via running water. I know that the lists I've indicated seems to be quite a lot but these are all readily available at home (i supposed). While preparing make sure to boil the eggs first to that it's all cool down once every is cook.

1. Season Chicken Fillet with Black Pepper, Oregano and Barbecue Seasoning then wrap Beef Strips around.

2. In a large pan, aligned each wrapped chicken fillet and dash with oil then sprinkle crashed garlic. After 3 minutes, spread vegetables (potato, mixed vegetables and onions) around the meat. Let stand for a few minutes until natural oil from the wrapped chicken shows off. Sautee vegetables now and then and cook chicken until tender. Sprinkle in a little dash of wine to taste and bring the flavour.

3. Once the meat is almost cook and ready add in butter to add glow to the food.

For Bell Pepper. Wash and clean. Cut on the middle straight and take off the seeds. Make sure no seeds are inside before you put in sliced cheese. Cook for a few minutes along with the meat in the pan.

PS The frying pan that I used for cooking this recipe is specially specified for cooking fish and meats in a charcoaled style. If you're not a fan of frying, you can also opt for baking. The procedure is less time consuming, cos you just have to place all ingredients in the pan and set the oven for a specific time, say, 25 minutes the most or to be sure just check on the meat and once it's ready, you can just turn it off and serve.

For a healthier more organic Tomato Salsa, you can create your own by cooking freshly picked tomatoes - cubes (from the supermarket :p), along with a little oil (a tablespoon). Bring to boil and then add on a dash of black pepper and preferred spices.
Finish Product. As you can see, I just cut the boiled egg into half, added my Tomato Salsa Mix (readily available in the store) and the onions stalks to art it out then I sprinkled in some Basil all over.
This is how the entire setting would look like if you bake this recipe instead of frying. Almost the same thing, I'm just not oven friendly :D

I'm no chef nor am I good at cooking. I just like to eat and experiment at times. I hope that if you readers would try making this, you'd give me some notes here about your experience and how it turned out. :) 

'Til next time. And I absolutely have no idea if I'm making any sense for this entry but for the love of food :)
