MEDITERRANEAN ROAST CHICKEN

An easier version of a full roast meal. This Mediterranean roast chicken uses butterflied chicken for quicker cooking, and is served with roast kumara mixed into a tasty salad. I like to cook the kumara pieces on the same tray as the chicken, to infuse flavour (and a bit of fat!) into them. They don’t go as crisp this way […]

CHICKEN, CRUMBED CAMEMBERT AND GRAPE SALAD

I’ve been looking for a way to add crumbed camembert to a meal and this chicken, crumbed camembert and grape salad is it! A delicious combination of indulgent and healthy. I first attempted to cook the camembert by baking it in the oven. With just a single coat of breadcrumbs, the camembert oozed out everywhere and made a complete mess! […]

TOMATO AND BASIL CHICKEN

This tomato and basil chicken is served with wholemeal couscous and a very moreish side of parmesan crumbed broccoli. Using cream cheese in both this recipe and the pork stuffed mushrooms means you don’t waste any of the tub of cream cheese. If you’re not cooking this recipe as part of the weekly menu, cream, mascarpone or creme fraiche are […]

SATAY CHICKEN SKEWERS

Satay chicken skewers are one of my favourite entrées when we go out to eat Thai food. This homemade version tastes very similar, but is turned into a full meal with the addition of rice and greens. Juicy chicken skewers lathered in creamy peanut sauce are really quite hard to resist, don’t you agree? It took a lot of willpower […]

CHICKEN BANH MI

These delicious Vietnamese chicken banh mi rolls are an easy dinner or lunch. The pickled vegetables, paté and sweet chilli aioli provide a great mix of flavours. Pickling the onions takes the strong onion flavour away and makes them much more palatable. If you have time, these can be prepped in advance and the chicken can be left to marinate […]

CHICKEN AND BACON PANCAKE STACKS

These savoury chicken and bacon pancake stacks are a less fiddly alternative to baked chicken and bacon crepes. A perfect dinner option for Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day). Surprisingly, these chicken and bacon pancake stacks don’t taste like coconut at all. The baking soda really helps to neutralise the flavour from the coconut milk, and the chicken and bacon filling tastes […]

You can usually substitute at […]

HONEY SOY CHICKEN ON RICE

This recipe transforms plain chicken breasts into something quite delicious! Honey soy chicken on rice is an easy recipe that the whole family will enjoy. Coating the chicken in cornflour before cooking helps to make the chicken more tender and gives the sauce something to cling to. This sauce is intensely flavoured and incredibly moreish, so we want as much […]
