Chicken Fakeaways

Easy to make chicken recipes perfect for midweek dinners and much better than a takeaway.

Hello friends

I hope you have had a good week. For me it’s been a week of catching up with chores and catching up with friends now I’m back from my travels, so I’ve not spent much time either in the kitchen or on the blogs this week.

I've eaten a fair few salads, trying to convince myself it's the weather for it, but something hot and quick to make is also very much the food I’m craving at the moment.

Chicken must be one of the most versatile meats, and it's perfect for a mid-week dinner when you don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen but still want something tasty and satisfying to eat. So it fits the bill.

So this week, I’m keeping the newsletter short and sweet and sharing with you some of my favourite chicken fakeaway dinners.

Also, I have completely updated my Homemade Seedless Whitecurrant Jam recipe this week, so if, like me, you grow your own and are wondering what to make with them, then you might want to check out that recipe. If you don’t have the time to make it at the moment, you can always freeze the currants and make it after the summer is over.

That's it for now, I said I keep it short and sweet.

Have a delicious week

Chicken Curry

A quick curry would be perfect for eating before a certain football match that I’m sure more than the odd one or two of us will be watching. I’m not that into football, but having two sons and a hubby into the game, some of it rubs off, and even I will probably be watching this match. Go England!

I have two chicken curry recipes on Recipes Made Easy one mild and one spicy

Nutty Chicken Stir Fry

Or maybe a chicken stir fry is more your thing. Once you have all the ingredients prepared they take just minutes to cook. This Nutty Chicken Stir Fry is no exception making it an ideal midweek meal when you need to get something tasty and on the table quick.

Oven Baked Sesame Chicken Nuggets

These oven-baked sesame seed chicken nuggets with mini roast potatoes make a delicious midweek meal and are a much healthier variation on the popular fast food takeaway. 

Fried Chicken Sandwich

A Fried Chicken Sandwich made with tender chicken in a spicy coating can be hard to resist.  Freshly made at home this simple but tasty recipe is a joy to eat, served with a little spicy sauce in a soft bread roll.
