Chicken Scrumptious
This is an incredibly easy and as described, scrumptious, chicken recipe passed on to me from a dear friend. It was a favourite family recipe of hers and has now become a family favourite for us!
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons of dry breadcrumbs (These can be bought in a pack.)
- 4 level tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 60 grams parmesan cheese (just as tasty with cheddar!)
- A tablespoon of chopped or dry herbs if available, such as parsley, thyme or oregano.
Method
Preheat oven to 210 degrees Celsius.
- Combine mayonnaise with cheese in a bowl. I find it easier to buy ready grated cheese but if you are able to grate your own cheese without grating your fingers then it is obviously cheaper to buy a block of cheese.
- Arrange the chicken breasts on a baking tray or ovenproof dish.
- Evenly top each chicken breast with the cheesy mayonnaise.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and herbs on top.
- Bake for at least 20 minutes in the preheated oven, but if they are particularly large chicken breasts I would play safe and cook for 30 minutes in total. The RNIB do sell a talking meat thermometer which is an option if you cook meat often and do not have a sighted person to check that the meat juices are running clear (particularly important for chicken.)
- Enjoy served with a green salad or vegetables and perhaps some delicious garlic bread.
Lemon Yoghurt Swirl
This is such a simple recipe that tastes delicious and takes just minutes to make.
All you need is:
300 grams jar of lemon curd
500 grams tub of yoghurt, preferably greek yoghurt if you have it.
Put the yoghurt in a bowl and then empty the jar of lemon curd into it and just swirl the lemon curd into the yoghurt gently with a spoon. It doesn’t need mixing right in, just swirl it in.
