Chicken and Potato Chip Bake

By -

This recipe is very simple, quick to prepare, and also tastes very good.

 It is a handy "stand-by" in case you have unexpected visitors, and is a great family meal, and always impresses visitors!

 It is one of those recipes that just keeps improving each time you reheat it, so make double  the quantity, and freeze it, or eat it for several days.

 You could also add bacon or chorizo, for even more taste, and this would need to be browned first before adding to the rest of the meal.

 Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 60 minutes
Makes: 4-6 servings

 Ingredients
6 x skinless chicken thighs
½ cup chutney (any)
¼ cup mayonnaise (a good one)
¼ cup tomato sauce
Tsp curry
Potatoes (optional)

 Instructions
Clean the thighs, and cut them again in half as they are usually large - take off some of the fat, and place the thighs in an ovenproof dish.

 Add the other ingredients plus a bit of salt and pepper if desired.

Mix this until it is smooth, and all mixed together.

Preheat your oven to medium.

 Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken, and mix it so that the chicken is coated everywhere.

If you are putting potatoes on top (optional, however I thought it saved dirtying another pot, and would taste nice when browned), microwave them, cut them into slices, and place them over the top of the chicken.

Cover this with foil, and bake for about 45 minutes on a medium heat.  Take the foil off and bake for a further 15 minutes.  I actually put it under the grill for a few minutes to brown the potatoes.  This made them crispy and yummy!

I served it with microwaved broccoli, and a home grown cucumber salad.

POTATO SALAD WITH PEANUT BUTTER

By -

Potato salad makes a perfect side dish, or snack, however I ate this one with bread and some raw salad as a main meal. I often eat potato salad and you will find several recipes on my blog for different versions of potato salad. I like anything with potatoes in it and my recipes will reflect this - I far prefer potatoes to the sweeter, more healthy sweet potatoes! Potato salads are also great to take on a picnic with some thickly sliced buttered bread! This recipe has no mayonnaise in it like a conventional one, and is a nutty version of a conventional potato salad. Once again, I have used one of my favourites, peanut butter and I now always buy the "no added sugar" version of this amazing ingredient. Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Makes: 3 servings, as a main Ingredients 3 medium potatoes 3 tbsp crunchy peanut butter (I used a natural one which is not as sweet as supermarket ones) ½ tbsp whole grain mustard ½ tbsp vinegar 1 tbs

Pizza Toppings Using Leftovers

By -

I had family from Interstate, and did not have much in the house, so we decided to make our own pizzas.  These are far healthier than bought ones, and two of the people also had to eat dairy free, so I knew exactly what was in the pizzas. Pizzas are not really difficult to make, nor do they take a long time to make.  I usually make double the dough and freeze it so that I can just take it out of the freezer and make a pizza whenever I feel like it, or whenever I have leftovers! However, in this instance, I had no dough and was in a hurry so used a bought base, which is not as nice as my own! Pizzas are great as they can be made with whatever you have in the pantry, or the fridge, and the following are some suggestions for when you have unexpected visitors, or if you want a very tasty casual meal.  It is also a way to get children to eat vegetables, as they are often "hidden" when cut finely and cooked.  You could also put grated vegetables in the dough which children

Chicken with Walnuts and Hoisin Sauce

This is an interesting mixture of ingredients, and is both sweet and salty. I love food cooked using Hoisin sauce - this is the sauce that is used in Peking Duck which is one of my all time favourite foods.  It has an unusual taste, and goes very well with so many other ingredients, whether they are vegetarian or meat dishes. This meal has a rich and unusual flavour, and could be also served with steamed vegetables.  Cashew nuts could replace the walnuts if need be, however I had walnuts in my fridge so that is what I used in this instance. I served it over potatoes so that I could soak the sauce into the potatoes, and then I dipped fresh home made bread into the left over sauce!  This was delicious and well worth eating a bit less so you can fit this in. And remember, as I always say, my lovelies, do NOT over cook chicken breasts - they become dry and tough when overcooked.  If you JUST cook them so the pink is only just gone, they will be melt in your mouth delicious.
