Just that! Need some inspiration, have a well stocked larder but really fallen out of cooking purely through lack of time and inclination but clearly this can’t continue as gaining weight and feeling worse as not making a decent meal ! Give me your ideas, TIA

Loads of things! How many are you feeding?

Baked, wrapped in bacon, topped with grated cheese with new potatoes and salad

Fajitas

Stir fry with noodles

Chilli chicken / sweet and sour chicken with rice

Grilled marinated skewers with spicy noodle salad

Thai curry

The list is pretty endless…

I like
Chicken
Chorizo
Peppers
Onion
Garlic
Stock
Wine

Cook either in casserole or large wok and make lots of sauce - delicious

Also chicken, tarragon, onion, garlic, white wine and cream

Chicken stuffed with mushrooms and cheese wrapped in bacon

Chicken coated t in breadcrumb, deep fry and serve with Chinese dipping sauces and stir fry veg / rice

Thanks 2 adults and 2 kids (one eats like a horse!) I also have some cooking chorizo? Would be good to use this up, traybake type things are good in this house, and would love a good noodles recipe as never know what to do with them to make them tasty

Curry - chop and fry the chicken in a large frying pan or wok. Add a van of coconut milk, a tin of sweetcorn, a couple of handfuls of frozen peas, whatever other veg you fancy and some curry paste to taste. Mix it up and cook it until the sauce has thickened.

I don’t eat meat, but dh and the dc love this and it literally takes about 5 mins to prep and 30 mins to cook.

This is a great traybake recipe:

We use chicken breasts in it, instead of thighs. & just put whatever veg we have in.

Chicken, chorizo and chickpea stew

Tray bake not great for breast meat. Fry chorizo, take it out, fry onion in rendered paprika fat. Maybe add peppers or other veg, mushrooms or spinach good here, fry chicken in paprika cumin and garlic, add the onion peppers and chorizo, glass of wine or stock Maybe mix a bit of cornflour and water to thicken slightly. At same time Oven bake some chickpeas in oil and salt and paprika, mix with cous cous. Sprinkle parsley.

Add lemons on quarters ( onions and garlic can add or leave) some spices, chili flakes and a can of white beans. Thata it. Cut chicken into bits. Add a salad, just cut tomatoes and maybe cucmber and balsamic. So quick and easy

I second this, it's amazing. If you've got the book have you tried the oxtail dish - that's amazing

Another vote for the Hairy Bikers Spanish style chicken- really great! We always have it with French Beans and broccoli. Reheats well too!
