Smokey chicken, egg fried rice and Chinese style curry sauce. Absolutely gorgeous and makes you feel like you've had an actual takeaway 🤤
Serves 4

Ingredients for chicken:
3 chicken breasts
2 peppers, chopped into large chunks
2 onions, chopped into large chunks
1tsp garlic puree
Pinch of salt
1 chilli slices or 1tsp chilli flakes
Red food colouring (optional)
1tbsp smoked paprika
50g cornflour
2tbsp dark soy sauce
2 Spring onions for garnish
Sprinkle of sesame seeds for garnish

Ingredients for rice:
2 packets of microwave basmati rice or cook your own ( I cooked my own)
3tbsp dark soy sauce
2tbsp light soy sauce
1tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1tbsp Chinese 5 spice
4 eggs

Curry sauce is the mayflower curry sauce, just make this via box instructions.

Method:
Chop chicken into strips then add to a bowl with a pinch of salt and enough red food colouring (if using) to coat all the chicken. Once mixed add the cornflour to a bowl or plate and coat each chicken slice in it. Add to air fryer, spray with oil and cook on 200⁰ for 15 minutes. While the chicken is cooking you need to cook the rice if you are making it yourself. If you are using packet rice you don't need to cook it yet. Add the chopped onions and peppers to an oiled pan and cook on medium for 5 minutes. Add your chilli and garlic and keep cooking for a few more minutes. Once the chicken. Is cooked through, add this to the pan with the onions and peppers and then add in the soy sauce and smoked paprika and toss together and keep cooking for a few more minutes. Once your rice is ready (you can microwave your rice at this point) add the eggs to a hot frying pan and let them half cook whole, then start mixing and chopping until you get scrambled eggs. Add in the cooked rice with the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce & Chinese 5 spice. Mix together until well combined. Make your curry sauce and serve it adding the spring onions and sesame seeds to garnish. Enjoy. This is honestly absolutely stunning. 😍

Sorry I've been quiet, we've got our friend over for a few weeks and obviously the hectic of the holidays haha. So this I made last night was absolutely beautiful, so tasty 🤤

Black pepper lemon chicken with creamy parmesan pasta ❣️

Ingredients: (serves 2, double it for 4)
2x chicken breasts
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1tsp garlic granules
1tsp onion granules
1tsp oregano
Pinch of salt
130g tagliatelle pasta
Parsley for garnish

For the sauce:
2tsp garlic puree
100ml chicken stock
30g light cream cheese
70ml single cream
Juice of half a lemon and the zest of half a lemon
Pinch of black pepper
20g parmesan

Method:
Cook the pasta in salted water.
You will need a couple tablespoons of the pasta water at the end too.
Season the chicken with the black pepper, lemon zest, garlic granules, onion granules, oregano and salt. Add to a hot pan with oil and cook for 6 minutes each side then add to an air fryer for around 10 mins just to make sure it's cooked through and nicely crispy on the top.
In the same pan (with the chicken removed) add in the garlic puree and let it cook for around 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium and add in the chicken stock, cream cheese and single cream and stir until smooth.
Stir in the parmesan and lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of black pepper, summer until nice and thick and creamy. Add the cooked pasta, no need to drain as the water off the pasta helps loosen the sauce once the pasta is added. Mix together and if you feel you need it to loosen and be more saucy then add some pasta water until you get the desired consistency you want. Slice the chicken, add pasta to plate/bowl then add the sliced chicken on top, sprinkle with parsley and serve. Enjoy! 😍

Creamy Cajun chicken. Now this might not look the nicest but when I tell you it's STUNNING, it really is 😍
This serves 4

Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
1 tbsp garlic puree
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1tbsp tomato puree
420ml chicken stock
120g light cream cheese
30g parmesan
Pinch of salt & pepper

Cajun seasonings:
1tbsp paprika
1tsp onion powder
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp oregano
1/2tsp thyme
1/2tsp cayenne pepper

Method:
Mix all the Cajun seasonings together in a small bowl, then rub half the seasoning into the chicken breasts. Place a frying pan over a medium heat with some oil and add in the chicken breasts and brown on both sides. Then remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the garlic and peppers to the pan and fry for 3 minutes then add in the rest of the Cajun seasoning with the tomato puree, chicken stock and light cream cheese, and stir until the cheese has melted.
Put the chicken back into the pan with the stock mix, and simmer on a medium heat until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
Add in the parmesan and stir until melted. Serve with your choice of sides, I chose rice. Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy! 🤤

This meal (without the rice) is only 364 calories, obviously you add the calories to what sides you choose if you are calorie counting.

Paprika & mozzarella cheesy chicken and bacon. 😋

Ingredients:
1 pack of smoked bacon lardons
2 chicken breasts (add more per person)
1tbsp paprika
200ml double cream
150g grates mozzarella
1 ball fresh mozzarella, sliced
Pepper

Method:
Cook your chicken in a pan with the paprika and some pepper to your taste. Add in the bacon lardons and cook through. I took out a few of the lardons to put on top once served but that's optional. Pour in the double cream and let it bubble for 5 minutes then add in the grated mozzarella, stir until it's all melted and creamy. Top with the fresh mozzarella and pop under the grill until golden and bubbling. Serve with your choice of sides, I chose chips and salad but it would be nice with rice, pasta or even mash and veg. Enjoy! 😍

Sloppy Joe pasties 😍
This serves 4

Ingredients:
2 rolls of just roll puff pastry
Minced beef
1 onion diced
1 green pepper diced
1tsp paprika
1tbsp garlic powder
1tsp salt
240ml tomato pasatta
2tbsp tomato ketchup
1tbsp English mustard
1tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1tbsp brown sugar
Grated cheese
1 egg for egg wash
3tbsp butter
1tbsp garlic puree
1tbsp parsley

Method:
Pre heat oven at 200⁰
Fry off your onions and peppers for 5 minutes until soft, then add in the mince meat. Stir in the paprika, garlic granules and salt.
Add in pasatta, ketchup, mustard, worcestershire sauce & brown sugar. Cook this on medium low for 10 mins then remove from the heat and leave to slightly cool.
While this is cooking, melt the butter, garlic and parsley into a small bowl and set aside.
Now it's time to prep the pastry sheets. Cut them in half so you have 4 pieces, if you are doing this for 2 people, just 1 sheet cut in half is all you will need. Put a large spoon full of the mixture onto the sheets and top with cheese, so it looks like the 3rd picture of mine. Then egg wash the outside of the pastry and the middle, lay your other sheet of pastry over the top, seal then cut down the middle, I did this with a pizza cutter. Then seal the ends. Egg wash the top all over, add some slices into the tops and cook in the oven for around 20 mins, until the pastry is cooked and browned. Once removed brush the tops with your garlic butter mixture and serve with your choice of sides. I served mine with homemade chips. Enjoy! 🤤
