chicken ideas

[mccfluff]

took some chicken breast out of the freezer this morning - any ideas must be low fat - the only veg i can get away with is pots, sweetcorn and peppers

When its thawed, butterfly it - cut it half way through sideways - then grill it lightly for about five minutes a side or until cooked. You can grill the peppers at the same time and save energy by boiling the potatoes and sweetcorn together.

thanks but i've done this one to death, i'm running out of ways to cook chicken, i've done grilled chicken marinated in loads of different marinades, fajitas, kebabs, soup

my problem is the OH he's got liver problems so everything has to be low fat but he's really fussy about veg (won't eat tomato's etcwhich is a ****** otherwise it would be easy lol)

Chop it up and stir fry it with chopped peppers and sweetcorn and chilli sauce

Boil the potatoes until they're almost done, chop them into cubes and bung them in as well!

Will he eat garlic or any herbs? That's a good way to introduce more flavour without adding fat.

[mccfluff]

yeah i can get away with garlic, herbs, pepper etc etc

i'm just so booooooored of fooking chicken arghhhhhhhhh

[rinkins]

How about mixing together some butter, garlic, herbs, pancetta or bacon and add a bit of lemon juice. Then stuff the chicken breast and wrap pancetta around it?

[rinkins]

LOL fluff I think I'd be fed up of it too!

[rinkins]

Or s0d the chicken and do stuffed peppers instead?

[mccfluff]

i love that rinkins and for me no problem but he can't have butter, bacon etc etc, i am seriously fed up now. i think its going to end up being marinaded chicken again with jacket spud and veggies - mind you i could make that for him and do something different for me

[mccfluff]

stuffed peppers sounds like a plan i like your thinking there

[Mortartube]

How about chicken kebabs marinated in lime juice and chilli with corn on the cob and if he eats rice or cous cous, then that. If not steamed new pots.

[Mortartube]

I meant to add also put some bits of peppers on the kebab skewers too. :0)

[mccfluff]

nice idea, just lime and chilli or add some soy? hmmmmm
