🍗 COOK ONCE, EAT TWICE… OR EVEN FOUR TIMES! 💚
Who says cooking from scratch has to mean starting from scratch every day? 😉
This week, let’s make one roast chicken work harder! 🙌
Roast once, enjoy a delicious family meal, then transform those leftovers into something completely different. Less time in the kitchen, less food waste and more time for the things you love!
✨ ONE ROAST CHICKEN – FOUR EASY MEALS!
🍗 1. Sunday roast
Serve with roast potatoes, loads of veg and your favourite gravy.
🥗 2. Chicken salad or wraps
Use leftover chicken with crunchy salad, tomatoes and your favourite dressing for a quick lunch.
🍜 3. Easy chicken stir-fry
Add shredded chicken to a pan of colourful vegetables, garlic, ginger and soy sauce. Serve with rice or noodles.
🥧 4. Creamy chicken and vegetable pie
Mix chicken with vegetables in a light, creamy sauce, top with filo pastry and bake until golden.
💡 Manjula’s meal-planning tip: Remove the leftover chicken from the bones, cool it quickly, refrigerate promptly and use within 48 hours, or freeze in portions. Reheat until piping hot throughout.
The secret? A little planning today can make tomorrow’s dinner so much easier! 💚
