frying pan, does that mean, just brown the outside layer! How long would you do each side for to brown it! I've never followed a receipe with this instruction before, after that you put it together with the other ingredients into the oven. I'm always wary when cooking chicken, so any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Just fry it in a pan until it is nicely browned all over.It should take a five minutes or so each side,and then follow the recipe.Browning starts the cooking process and more importantly,it adds flavour.If you are doing chicken pieces (or any other meat for that matter) don't overcrowd the pan so that it stews rather than browns.Use a med-high heat.

"Browning meat" means to cook until brown on the outside which will seal in the juices and flavour. It may or may not be cooked through depending on the rest of the recipe. ieyou might brown the outside of the pieces and then put in the other ingredients and cook through together.

But then you need to cook the green eggs with ham.

This thread reminds me of the time when as kids we decided to bake a cake, the recipe said cream butter and sugar - my friend said - "we havnt got any cream".
