Lemon chicken is something of a classic chicken recipe and this is a version that Mum cut out from the Herald Sun. Twice frying the chicken makes it lovely and crunchy and topped with the sauce the whole thing is delicious.

CHICKEN DIANE
This is another recipe from the Herald Sun cooking column. The usual recipe is for Steak Diane, but in this chicken has been used instead – it’s worth trying out to see if you like the change.
BAKED CHICKEN WINGS
Although today you can buy chicken wings already marinated in a variety of difference sauces, it’s still nice to make your own from scratch and it’s not really all that hard to do.
BAKED CHICKEN WINGS
- 1kg chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
Mix honey, tomato sauce and soy sauce. Brush wings thoroughly with honey mixture place in shallow dish or casserole and place in a very hot oven 220ºC. Cook 40 mins brushing with honey mixture and turning every 10-15 minutes.
CHICKEN WITH BACON, LEEK AND MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE
This is a great recipe which it looks like Mum found in the Herald Sun cooking column. she passed it onto me and I’ve cooked it many times. It’s quick, easy and tastes great – if you don’t have any leeks you can use a brown onion, but the leek does add extra flavour.
MICROWAVE CHICKEN CASSEROLE
Although Mum never really mastered the use of the microwave, except for reheating meals, she cut this recipe out of the Woman’s Day. I sure she had every intention of making it one day.
CHICKEN & TORTELLINI SALAD
Mum used whatever pieces of paper came to hand to write down recipes. This piece had someone’s address on it, but there was still lots of blank space to add a recipe!!

STEAK PARMA
I think this recipe must have been a forerunner of the now traditional pub style Parmas. It tastes surprisingly good and works well with chicken too. You can use pre crumbed meat to make it easier, but freshly crumbed is probably nicer.
STEAK PARMA
- Veal or steak pieces (thinly sliced)
- Plain flour, Egg, Breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese *See note below
- Tomato soup
- Mozzarella cheese – sliced
- Oil
Coat the meat pieces in egg and the breadcrumb mix, then fry lightly in oil. Place in an ovenproof dish, top with the tomato soup and sliced Mozzarella cheese. Cook in a moderate 180°C for ½ hour.
*How to coat meat in breadcrumbs: Season plain flour with salt & pepper. Beat the egg with a little milk in a shallow bowl. Mix the breadcrumbs with parmesan cheese. Coat the meat lightly with plain flour, then dip the floured meat into the egg mixture. Roll the meat in the breadcrumb mix.
