Quick and easy to make, this chicken stir-fry gets a Chinese style kick from the five-spice
Can be served on it's own or with noodles
I love the delicate flavours in Thai food, but I really don't like seafood, so I tend to struggle with things like Thai Green Curry - the fish oil in the sauce can leave me feeling quite quesy. However, this recipe strikes a good balance and hasn't caused me any issues at all
It's quick and easy to make, and can trivially be made vegetarian by replacing the chicken with (more) potatoes.
You can also adjust it by adding baby corn, sugar snaps or pak choi to it.
A quick and simple chicken noodle soup. You can also adjust flavours by serving with thinly sliced ginger, garlic, coriander etc, or by serving alongside some halved boiled eggs.
I struggle with many Thai curries because they tend to have fish oil added, and I can't stand even the slightest hint of seafood. This simple recipe gives a fragrant, Thai-Style curry without that problem (though you can add it if you miss it)
If you want to add a bit more of a punch, and some chilli's to the ingredient list
A simple chicken casserole, very much build and forget. Slow cooking leads to most meat that just falls apart
This recipe gives some delicious moist chicken thighs, balanced by some soft and slightly tart plum pieces.
If you add potatoes it can be served as a meal in it's own right, if not then serving with roast potatoes and parsnips works really well.
This simple recipe quickly makes a chinese style stir fry with minimal effort. The chicken chunks are lightly coated in flour so that they absorb some of the juice and take on a good citrus tang
You can serve with rice or noodles - with straight-to-wok noodles you get the advantage of cooking the entire meal in a single pan.
If you need a bit of spice, add a chopped chilli to the ingredient list and add it just after you've finished browning the chicken.
Found scrawled amongst some paperwork, a relatively quick and easy tray-bake chicken recipe
Can be served alongside salad, steamed new potatoes, rice or just some thick crusty bread
I'm not entirely sure where this recipe originally came from, I found it scrawled down whilst I was sorting out some paperwork - I suspect it's probably based on a recipe in a book somewhere.
Chicken things stuffed with herby sausagemeat, best served in a Lemon Sauce
This is a fairly lazy meal, particularly if you want to cheat any buy pre-made mustard and cider sauce. Lazy, but tastes good.
You can make it a little healthier by substituting the cream out for something with less fat, though I personally wouldn't skip the lardons as they may be the only reason this is so tasty
