Chicken Casserole
Yesterday Kerri made chicken casserole with stock that we’d made on Saturday. Today we reheated it and had it for dinner and it was really good. It had a lovely depth of very chickeny flavour and it was just the thing to have on a rather chilly evening. Winter appears to be arriving and we […]
Read More..>>Chicken Cacciatora
This has been on the to-do list for a while and seemed perfect for the Autumn weather we’ve been having recently but was actually a bit disappointing. It’s similar to the chicken basque that we both love so much and just not as good really. We served it with green vegetables and lots of bread […]
Read More..>>Fajitas
Neither of us were feelng particularly inspired about dinner tonight, but a couple of days ago we’d discussed fajitas so had them tonight. We had them in a bit of a hurry too, which meant that I forgot to marinate the chicken before cooking it and they didn’t have a lot of flavour. Something to […]
Read More..>>Chicken Stir-Fry
Chicken stir-fry. Again. We’re not winning any prizes for originality with this one are we? It’s the best way I know to use up leftover chicken though and since Stephen bought a super-chicken yesterday, we had to do something. It is tasty though and quick to throw together, which is a definite winner on a […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken
Mmmmmmm roast chicken. A Label Anglaise chicken from our local butcher, roasted and served with roast potatoes, runner beans, savoy cabbage and carrots. And those strange things on the top left of the picture are jerusalem artichokes; they look deep fried but they were done with the potatoes. And gravy of course. Mmmmm gravy. The […]
Read More..>>Thai Green Curry
We went through a phase of eating this almost every week because we’d found a recipe that was really tasty. We don’t eat it quite so often anymore but both Stephen and I have been craving it for a while. Luckily, we had some paste that we’d made previously in the fridge (eat that Nigella!) […]
Read More..>>Barbecue
The weather report claimed that we were going to have sun yesterday and it didn’t work out that way, but we had planned to barbecue so we went ahead. We started with prawns which we’ve done a few times before and we marinated them in oil, lemon, garlic and chilli as we usually do. Then […]
Read More..>>Chicken Stir Fry
As is typical of most Mondays, we went for something light for dinner in a vague attempt to atone for the extremeties of the weekend. This was pretty much our usual chicken stir fry but with the addition of basil at the end which lifted the whole dish and made it much more fragrant. We […]
Read More..>>Chicken Basque
We’d planned to have this yesterday but as the weather was good we barbecued instead. Stephen whipped this up yesterday afternoon and we reheated it when we got home from work tonight. It was tasty but didn’t take that well to being reheated.
Read More..>>Thai Skewers
A few days ago, we planned to have Thai lemongrass beef skewers tonight and hadn’t planned much else. Today we decided to have chicken satay as well, to follow the skewer theme. We managed to plan all of this without so much as a thought to anything non-meat related and this lack of thought continued […]
