We’re in the post Christmas lull, where we’re all tired, we’ve all over eaten (well I have), and it’s a 5 week pay month! So…time for some quick and easy, and cheap, meals that all the family like and have a higher nutritional value than yet another chocolate! If you’re anything like our family, you’re…

Orange, honey and mushroom chicken – vegan alt
A variation on a sweet and sour using mixed, dried mushrooms as they give a hearty texture for the non-meat eater. I cook the chicken separately so that my vegan daughter can have the dish without but still have a filling meal because the mushrooms are nice and chewy. Serves: 6 Chicken ingredients 600g skinless…
Deliciously Decadent Chicken and Mushroom Pie
This is one of my family’s favourite recipes. The preparation time on this one isn’t quick, so I always choose to prepare on the weekend, rather than a week night. And I now like to make the filling in double quantity and freeze the extra portion for a quick meal on a week day. This recipe lends itself really well…
Chicken chow mein – vegan alt in notes
Most chow mein recipes will tell you to use egg noodles. I use non-egg noodles so I do a chicken and a mushroom version, the mushroom one being vegan for my daughter. These dishes are great when topped with Kale crisps. Serves: 4 Ingredients 250g chicken breast, skinless and boneless 450g noodles, straight to wok…
Chicken with tomato and horseradish mustard – vegan alt in notes
Both the tomatoes and basil are sweet flavours so the horseradish and rocket zing balances them well. You’ll notice I cook the chicken separately from the sauce and I use soya yoghurt rather than dairy. This is so I can add a non-meat protein such as tofu or soya chunks for my vegan daughter, without…
Chicken and mixed bean chilli
Chilli is a really adaptable dish. Beef, chicken, beans; you can mix and match as much as you like. There are a few ingredients I wouldn’t leave out of any of them though: chilli (obvs), oregano, tomatoes and cinnamon. Serves: 6 Ingredients 800g chopped tomatoes, tinned 600g mixed beans, tinned and drained 500g chicken breast,…
Jacket mash chicken and mushroom pie
I really love this dish and the kids do too. Since my youngest daughter went vegan I’ve been adapting some recipes to suit so you can find the vegan, tofu version here. Serves: 4 Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 400g chicken breast 900g potato 3 tbsp fat free greek yoghurt 300g mushrooms, cut into quarters…
