Time to link up a favourite tried and tested receipe to Keith of @reluctandhousedad infamy. I have committed to use Slimming World friendly dishes and this week's theme is chicken!
I love cooking with chicken, its cheap, tasty and easy to prepare. A roast chicken dinner was the first thing I attempted when I left home as I was told it was easy. Seemed to be okay if you forget the fact I cooked it with the giblets still inside and wrapped in their little plastic bag!!!! We still ate it, no-one died. We were poor, what can I say!
The easiest thing I can think to do with a whole chicken is to chuck it into the slow cooker with a bit of salt and pepper and leave it for about 7 hours. Comes out looking like it hasn't been cooked, but as the skin is very fatty (and needs to be Syn'd) once its peeled away the meat inside is succulent and juicy!
But that's not a real receipe! Mind you, this one is very easy
Easy Stuffed Chicken BreastRecipe for 2 people
2 x chicken breast with skin removed
6 slices of bacon with the fat trimmed off
100 g of quark
Salt & pepper
Lemon juice
Some rosemary and thymePut the quark it into a bowl, season with salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice and the herbs and mix together. (If you don't fancy rosemary and thyme add your own favourites. Quark is very low fat, but it doesn't have much flavour so make sure you mix in the flavours you enjoy)
Slice chicken breast down the middle, but not all the way through, to open it up
Spoon in the flavoured quark and close over
Wrap the chicken breast with the bacon. Put in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
So easy! And goes with nearly everything you can think of! This time of year its great with some crunchy stir fried vegetables and a green salad. Delicious and Syn free on Extra Easy
