Chicken Fajitas with Sweetcorn and Black Bean Salsa
I thought we were going out this evening but I got my dates muddled up, luckily I realised in time and defrosted some chicken breasts without much thought on what to do with them. Chicken breasts are something we’ve got used to having in the freezer but we don’t eat them much now and couldn’t […]
Read More..>>Chicken Curry
So, as you can imagine, a 2 kilo chicken generates rather a lot of leftovers. I’m not great with chicken leftovers, they scream PIE to me and unfortunately, that doesn’t fit with our current efforts to eat healthily. Admittedly, a chicken curry doesn’t automatically scream HEALTH but Stephen found a Good Food recipe that was […]
Read More..>>Salsa Verde Chicken Salad
Knowing we were going to be away this weekend, we placed an online shopping order so that we didn’t return home to an empty fridge on Sunday night. We do this every now and again and it works well but usually we stick to basics like milk and bread. This time however, Stephen was keen […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken
We had originally decided to cook lentils this evening, but as I wasn’t feeling well Kerri decided that we needed roast chicken instead. A very good idea it was too. We do tend to have roast chicken fairly often (although not all that often recently) so do find it a little hard to think of […]
Read More..>>Chicken Goujons
A quick dinner this evening of chicken goujons and chips (last minute decision) and salad. We simply cut two chicken breasts into strips, coated them in flour and then in egg (that had mustard mixed into it) and then coated in seasoned bread crumbs. We fried them in a little olive oil, but left them […]
Read More..>>Indian Barbecued Chicken and Lamb Biryani
We decided to plan ahead for Saturday and do something a little more elaborate than a mid-week meal. And while we were keen to involve the barbecue, we didn’t want that to be the sole focus of it in case it rained. So first up was barbecued chicken legs, which at a push we could […]
Read More..>>Red Thai Chicken Curry
We have been on a draconian clear-the-freezer mission lately, and as it turned out we had both chicken legs and red curry paste in there. Which meant that we needed to make red curry with chicken of course. It was shop paste rather than home made, we must admit; hence we had loads of it […]
Read More..>>Roast Chicken
After a busy weekend of travelling around the country for weddings and cricket matches, we needed something quick and easy. Our standby is always roast chicken so, after a desperate hunt for a chicken late on Sunday afternoon, that’s what we had. Nothing of particular interest to report other than, after several failed attempts, our […]
Read More..>>Barbecued Chicken Kebabs
Given the success of Friday’s barbecued lamb kebabs, we tried a similar thing today with chicken. We still have loads of oregano, so used that again, with a little oil, garlic, lemon juice and salt and pepper. The weather taunted us a little, changing from bright sunshine to cloudy and back and by the time […]
Read More..>>Sagey Roast Chicken
We’re growing some herbs in our little garden and the sage plant is threatening to strangle the poor parsley and thyme bush so we decided we ought to use some up. After the excesses of last week (particularly eating the cuisine of two different countries in one day), we were both in the mood for […]
