My take on Coronation Chicken.

This is one of my favourite ways to eat leftover chicken. There are so many versions of this, but this is my own adaptation. I'm not a fan with raisins in it :( Use your imagination and add the things you like. Brilliant for Lo Carbers!

Good uses are:

Nice lunch with a crisp green salad, or or in a warm baguette/ Tortilla wrap/Sandwich filler.

Also good as a jacket potato topping.


Incorporated into a  cold buffet,  on Bruschetta, Vol au vent filler.



You can vary ingredients used, as to what you may have in fridge/cupboard.

You will need :

Cold chicken/turkey
1/2 onion fried
Mayonnaise/Natural yogurt/Greek yogurt/Creme Fraiche-whatever you have that may need using up.
Mild curry powder
Fresh coriander
Teaspoon Bringal pickle or mango chutney.
Few chopped nuts, walnuts and unsalted toasted cashews are good. *leave out if you don't like*

Mix all of the above,  with the nuts and fresh coriander.

YUM!!

Post Xmas blues...

Hello, hope you all had a lovely Xmas day, all went fairly well in my house, apart from my oven being a bit overworked,  I still managed to get lunch ready for 2pm, so that was good. I always feel a bit down in the dumps when its all over, its such a big build up, and kind of give a big sigh of relief after xmas day.

My children have all been ill over the xmas period, so has been bit fraught to say the least, my little 3 year old has caught  a nasty cold-cough virus,from her brothers, so has been very unwell the last 3 days, not sleeping at night etc, so I haven't even managed to have a few glasses of wine and chill out yet, so I'm a bit fed up to say the least, as have worked hard, and need a bit of me time....

I will most definitely make up for it in the New year!

Leftovers

Anyway, we went out for lunch yesterday, so today I cooked the leftovers from the xmas dinner, I LOVE this as  much as the dinner itself. Its amazing how some cold veg, potatos and sausages can be transformed by a chopped fried onion and some crispy bacon. Delicious, we will have with some cold meat and gravy this afternoon.

Bubble and Squeak

 Well not much to do today as have a sick child, except stay in , keep cosy, watch more xmas repeats, cuddles and calpol.

WHAT FUN! :( Roll on the spring!
