I've got a small bag of chicken breast meat and need to turn it into a meal for 2 adults and 2 boys (with healthy appetites). Any ideas?
Oh and preferably quite quickly cooked
Chicken and mushroom lasagne (or sweetcorn instead of mushrooms - depends on preference).
Heat the milk with some bay leaves and a small chopped onion. Leave to cool and infuse.
Fry the chicken pieces till just cooked. Cut into bite-sized pieces, or smaller.
Prepare any other vegetables if wishes - carrots/courgettes/peas/peppers - whatever is available.
Make a white sauce with the infused milk (removing the bayleaves).
Layer for the lasagne. Then plenty of grated cheese on top.
Cook for at least half an hour in the oven.
Voila!

Thank you Brightspark - dinner ended up being chicken, bacon and veg lasagne with aded wild garlic leaves. It went down exceedingly well with requests for me to make it again
Saw this title and just had to share with you what I am having to eat right now:
Made with chicken carcass as the only meat,
pearl barley (about 100g - pre soaking weight) correctly prepared
3 medium peeled potatoes (keep peel in freezer for making next time's stock)Â
1 carrot (ditto above and top and tail of carrot)
2 celery sticks
1 courgette
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
Fry up all veg in a small knob butter plus vegetable oil, put in slow cooker and add 1 pint hot homemade chicken stock, adding as many of the bits of chicken that have fallen off the carcass as you can be bothered to salvage. Add seasoning (in my case a tsp of marmite but could be salt, and pepper)Â
Cook on high if having for lunch, or low if tea (and you are making in the morning) until its time to eat. Â Serve with lots of grated cheese.
I am trying to minimise our meat intake - for 3 reasons, health, environment and saving money. Thus the development of this dinner. Serves two adults and a toddler.Â
