Sweet Farmhouse Chicken

Sweet Farmhouse Chicken

 

Another fabulously low-fat recipe suitable for Rosie's and Slimming World followers! Tyler also wolfed this one down, I was very surprised, he couldn't get enough! I served mine with mashed potatoes but you can try something different such as jacket potato, wedges or potato rosti.

 

The nutrition is brilliant, lean meat providing a low fat protein, fibre, vitamin C etc. Very healthy for little ones and us older ones!

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

 

• 2 Large Chicken Breasts
• 250ml Chicken Stock
• 6oz Frozen Sliced Carrots
• 4oz Frozen Petit Pois
• 1 tsp Mixed Herbs
• 4 Sprays of Low Calorie Cooking Spray
• 2 tbsp. Cornflour

 

 

The Not-So Nitty Gritty

 

1. Add the cooking spray to a hot casserole dish (on full heat on the hob), followed by the mixed herbs.
2. Once the herbs start to smell aromatic, dice the chicken breasts and add to the dish immediately. Keep turning the chicken with a wooden spoon so the chicken is evenly coated with the herbs.
3. When the chicken has started to colour up and loose it's pinkness, add the stock to the dish, followed by the carrots, peas and cornflour.
4. Reduce the heat and stir well. Place the lid on top of the casserole dish and leave. Stir every five minutes or so to prevent it sticking to the dish. After 20 minutes, serve with a carb based side.
