An Ache For Chicken Flakes, So I Make!

Locally known as "chicken pastil," this dish is the best food to go to. Be it on a picnic, kid's lunch boxes, or a food tray's content to contribute in gatherings. It will surely get everyone's attention. As for its origin, it is usually placed on top of the rice wrapped in banana leaves turning it into an individualized serving that's ready for consumption. And for the city dwellers who don't have the banana leaves around, wrap it with a grease proof wax paper or a lot better with glassine paper.

Wloow looks so yummy chicken made this way as a chicken lover I will surely love this meal ❤️❤️

Hello @noemilunastorta. I believe you surely will. It is savory, and you can add more herbs and spices of your preference to make it more aromatic. Thank you for swinging by😇

Now that’s the kind of craving that hits just right, homemade and hearty.❤️

Indeed mam @gretelarmfeg, craving's satisfied! Thank you for coming by😍

This is very yummy and so good for food to go like for lunch. My aunt cooked also this yummy pastil and she sell it.

Hi @ronimarie82. Yes, always a hit especially to the kiddos. Glad your aunt monetizes this one. It takes time shredding the meat. Thanks for coming by teach😍

No one can beat homemade hearty cravings. It's so easy to prepare meals and snacks if you're not swarmed with online jobs and other tasks. Poor me I seldom cooked for myself since my son's demise. I am contented with food from resto, but I see to it that all ingredients are safe and free from msg, and I go for my favorite resto that does not use synthetic spices - all fresh from their garden.

Your homemade chicken flakes looks flavorful. Thanks for sharing @nicolebanilad. You rock!🌷

Hello @diosarich. I admire your food and resto preference. Yes, to cook is also tiring and harder especially when we have a full time job. Would love to send you a portion if you can move closer in the near future. Thank you for my coming by my pretty friend😍

Indeed! I do love to cook, but nowadays, it is just a thing of the past. Hmmm... I'm looking forward to that when I head back to Davao. I am excited to fill my tummy with your cooking. 🥰

seems like I can eat so many rice if this is my viand.😁

Hahahaha, I agree. Sometimes I can't stop myself too from getting another serving @kimburlee. Thank you for the visit teach. Happy Sunday😇

The pictures say it all. I am sure that it was delicious. I always feel so happy to see blogs about food, the recipes, and the step-by-step procedures of how to cook it. For a person who doesn't know how to cook, I usually rely on Google, YouTube, friends, and my mom. Thank goodness that I also read a lot of cooking blogs here in HIVE, it inspires me to try it out and cook for my husband.

I am glad you're in the right track to discover recipes and procedures for you to try soon @francesc9985. Hive somehow does magical things we didn't expect we find here. Hope you can try this one too soon and experience this aromatic dish with your hubby. Thank you for stopping by😍

Mapaparami ako ng rice neto at masarap magkamay kapag kumain :D Ang sarap naman!

Hehe, I truly agree with you @leannwithdoublen especially when it is wrapped with banana leaves. It definitely adds extra aroma. One serving wouldn'te be enough for me😂.
