Crunchy Korean Chicken

Leave a comment

One of the main reasons I made the change from an air fryer with a rotating paddle, to a double drawer air fryer was to make crispy and crunchy chicken. I found the air fryer with the paddle seemed to knock off the  coating and I’d heard so many good things about the Ninja, I thought it would be worth the investment. This proved very quickly to be the right decision as we’ve used it almost daily since it was delivered and I can confirm, it’s the perfect vessel to make this Crunchy Korean Chicken.

Creamy Chicken Satay Salad

Leave a comment

I often pick up the bang bang satay salad from M&S and so I really wanted to recreate it at home for myself. Recently I made up a big batch of it so Michael and I could have it for lunches and I can confirm, it’s so good. It’s really easy to throw together, I like to keep the salad dressing in a little pot to mix through just before I eat it (can’t be doing with a soggy salad)!

Thai Red Curry

2 Comments

Thai red curry is one of my favourite go to’s when I’m eating out but the full fat coconut milk used in Thai restaurants often makes the dish high in calories and for me, a bit too rich. I often make a quick Thai curry at home using shop bought curry paste (which I’m still a big fan of) and light coconut milk but more recently I decided to give making my own paste a go.  Continue reading →

Creamy Tarragon Chicken

7 Comments

One of my husbands favourite meals when we go to an Italian Restaurant is Pollo Crema and so I’ve been promising him I’d make a healthy version that we could enjoy at home which would taste just as good but allow me to stay on plan. Tarragon is not something usually included in the dish but it’s a lovely addition to lift the flavour and add an element of freshness.

Chicken Parmo

Chicken Parmo

4 Comments

The Chicken Parmo is a classic, delicious takeaway treat originating from Teesside. Often associated with trips to the kebab shop after a boozy night out, in its hometown this famous dish is often served with lashing of garlic sauce after being gloriously deep fried. The result is delicious but off the scale in terms of points/calories.

Sticky Chilli Chicken

Usually I would test a recipe two or three times before I post it but since I cooked this one on my Instagram stories the other night, I have been inundated with requests for the recipe, even in its draft form so I thought, since it was pretty delicious first time around, I’ll pop the first test here for you all for easiness if you want to make it this weekend!

I love a Chinese takeaway however they are usually very points heavy and so I’m always trying to convert new dishes into the perfect fakeaway. I cooked this one up in the week after realising I had most ingredients in already and I was over the moon with how quick, easy and absolutley delicious. Don’t be put off by the longish list of ingredients. Most of them are store cupboard staples (well they certainly are if you cook lots of my recipes) and it’s worth having lots of them in to add instant flavour to many dishes.

Tandoori Roast Chicken Recipe By Skinny Kitchen Secrets | Gourmet Weight Watchers Recipes

Tandoori Roast Chicken

2 Comments

I think I’m one of the only people I know who doesn’t LOVE a Sunday lunch. Don’t get me wrong, I’m partial to a roast every now and then, but as a fan of spice I often find a normal roast to be a bit plain and unexciting. A few weekends ago when I was brainstorming what to make for Sunday lunch, I decided to mix things up a little and put together an Indian style affair. Gorgeous, tandoori roast chicken, spiced potato wedges, garlic and coriander flatbreads, kachumba and raitha all on one plate made for the perfect Sunday roast alternative.

Chicken Kiev

5 Comments

Who doesn’t love a chicken Kiev? Meaty, buttery and crispy, these freezer goodies have always been a treat but they are often a treat which come with a crazily high SP value. My hubby has always been a fan of a Chicken Kiev so a few years ago I thought I should set about creating a more healthy version for us to enjoy without the over indulgence and this recipe was born. We had it so many times and then promptly forgot about it and so when, a couple of weeks ago, the hubbie asked for it again I dug the recipe out and made some tweaks and improvements. The result was even better than I remembered and the dish ended up on our menu plan three weeks in a row!
