It's about time I posted another lip-smacking one-pot-wonder! With the small exception of the extra pot used for mashed potatoes. Don't let the flurry of ingredients fool you – this is a wonderfully easy recipe. Your chicken pieces will come out fall-off-the-bone tender and juicy, and you'll have plenty of gravy for the mashed potatoes, … Continue reading Oven Roasted Chicken Pieces & Veg with Mashed Potato
I love green! It's my favourite colour and one of my favourite flavours. Yes, green is a flavour. It's crisp, clean, raw, rustic, peppery, pure -- the alliterated list goes on. This chicken dish is made with all-green main ingredients (the chicken being one of the only exceptions). The biggest green machine in this recipe … Continue reading Jana’s Green Chicken
We had two packs of prepared roasting vegetables in the fridge. But the poor things would have been so lonely just sizzling away in the oven by themselves. They needed some company. A chicken would do. Who's hungry? Vincent and I -- and we want leftovers too. This recipe can serve four people. Ingredients 1 … Continue reading Roast Chicken & Veg
Another weeknight, another quick and easy dinner. But, by no means does "quick and easy" mean boring. Thank goodness for my friend Woolworths and their fantastic stir-fry mix combos, because without their help this stir-fry might have required much more effort to get those perfectly tangy Thai flavours just right. Who's hungry? Vincent, Roan and … Continue reading Chicken & Egg Noodle Stir-Fry
Whenever anyone asks me what my go-to dish is, the answer is always a one-pan wonder. One-pan wonders are pretty effortless, they result in less dishes to clean after cooking, and they're incredibly tasty due to all the ingredients infusing their individual flavours into one scrumptious dish. I always do my one-pan wonders in my … Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken One-Pan Wonder
It's a common misconception that you need a whole lot of stuff to make something utterly scrumptious. All you really need is imagination and a few basic ingredients whose flavours you can combine to turn a dish into something wonderful. Last night marked the return of my favourite kind of dish; the one-pan wonder. This … Continue reading Sun-dried Tomato Chicken One-Pan Wonder
As a student, Thai green curry used to be one of my go-to meals to cook for my friends when they came over for dinner. Not just because it tastes amazing, but because it's really easy to make and doesn't cost much either. As this recipe doesn't include coconut cream or milk, I felt I … Continue reading Green Curry with Chicken
Another weeknight; another adventure into the fridge in hope of finding something delicious to make. Lucky for us there was a pack of julienne stir-fry veggies and three skinless chicken fillets ready for a hot pan. After experimenting with a new kind of sauce when I made Teriyaki chicken the other day, I decided to … Continue reading Chicken Stir-fry With Honey & Soy Sauce
Asian cuisine is always a treat for me. But in the past I have been apprehensive about cooking authentic Asian dishes because the recipes I usually gravitate to require a lot of effort and the ingredients are often hard to come by. However, yesterday as I was browsing the web for interesting new recipes to … Continue reading Teriyaki Chicken
By now it's clear that I love a one-pan dish. The flavours all get to mingle and it's just too damn effortless not to love. Last night I decided to go the easy route again and use a coat & cook sauce -- Ina Paarman's this time around. I also tried a new veggie addition … Continue reading One-Pan Tikka Curry Chicken & Veg
The one-pan wonder makes a reappearance tonight. This time I'm armed with Indian Tikka Masala paste; ready for a taste explosion tinged with that good old 'comfort food' feeling. Best thing about tonight's dinner is that it will taste even better tomorrow, so obviously I'm making enough to feed a family. Who's hungry? Vincent and … Continue reading Tikka Masala Chicken
Indian cuisine, how I love you. Tonight, I'm taking the easy road by using a pack of Butter Chicken Cook-in Sauce from Woolies to help satisfy my craving for something laden with coriander. I don't often use these cook-in sauces so I'm probably not the best judge, but I'd say this particular one is my … Continue reading Butter Chicken
It's 26 December and my Christmas spirit has turned to holiday laziness. There's but one thing to do - make a delicious, homey, feel-good meal with minimal effort. This chicken one-pan wonder is my ultimate go-to lazy day dish, but I often mix it up with my vegetable selection and choice of spices. Who's hungry? … Continue reading Italian Chicken One-Pan Wonder
