You just can’t bate a daycent bit of chicken.
One of the most versatile, cost-effective and protein-packed lean meats, it acts as a vehicle for all sorts of flavours – and it’s also damn healthy.
Some of the below recipes may mention thighs or other parts of the bird – but such is the versatility of the breast fillet that they can be used to make all of these.
So here are five ideas to get you inspired. Get cookin’…
1. Crockpot sweet and spicy chicken
Crockpots are the best for bringing out oodles of flavour in the most simple way imaginable – and this recipe lays on the taste pretty thick. Gorgeous.
2. Sweet potato broccoli chicken bake
The chicken fillet doesn’t always need to be lathered in sauces and dips to make it taste good – it’s a naturally delicious meat, and sometimes it just needs good company.
You won’t find many healthier meals than this one.
3. Slow cooker paleo cashew chicken
Romeo and Juliet; Lennon and McCartney; Sonny and Cher; Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
All truly great double-acts – but none of them are a patch on the greatest pairing of all: chicken and cashew nuts.
4. Kung Pao chicken
Eight ingredients, and a 20-minute prep time.
You can’t ask for better than that, can you?
5. Simple coconut chicken curry
There are few things more delicious and rewarding than a home-cooked curry, and this one absolutely delivers.
