I don't need to use all but the chicken definitely needs eating:

Chicken breast
Courgettes
Peppers
Sweet potatoes
Broccoli

Pasta / rice / potatoes / cous cous can be added too.

Any clues please?!

You could do a Spanish type chicken tray bake with the peppers and courgettes. Maybe some onions, garlic, smoked paprika and fennel seeds.

Serve with rice or baked sweet potato.

Steamed broccoli on the side.

I'd cook the chopped chicken and veg in some chicken stock, then stir into cooked pasta, put the stock back on the hob and reduce by half, add seasoning if required, a little cream if you have it and Parmesan and use to dress the pasta.
Light, balanced and delicious.
I can't speak for the sweet potatoes as we don't eat them. Sorry.

This, but add the courgettes too, and then serve with sweet potato wedges. Tbh you could probably chuck the broccoli in as well and it'd be fine.

I would probably make a curry if you have these ingredients in.

Coconut cream
Peanut butter
Fish sauce
Soy
Thai curry paste

Then add the veg into a wok (pre cook sweet potato)

Skewers, chop it all into pieces, marinade, mix and match onto skewers then chuck in the oven. Serve with cous cous and a yoghurt/lemon/olive oil dip.

I'd do a little stir fry or chicken fried rice myself. The sweet potato would need to be eaten another day but everything else would work well.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 02/03/2022 12:25

Do you have wraps? If so, enchiladas!

sofakingcool · 02/03/2022 12:26

Tray bake?

Have you got spices etc?

A pie!! Pastry is quick and easy to make. We had pie on Monday. Chicken, carrot and onion with gravy filling.. New potatoes and cabbage on the side.

Not helpful because I think previous posters kind of covered what I would say. Next time, try giant couscous! It's amazing! And would be great with those ingredients 😋

Stir fry with sweet potato wedges.
I can't have meat today (Ash Wednesday) despite being a very lapsed catholic. It's the guilt ingrained in meWink

Enjoy

I'm having pie tonight! It's cold and miserable, so I declare that pie weather.

Pastry - half as much butter (in weight) as your flour, and a couple of tbsp of white wine.

Curry?

Easterbunnyiswindowshopping · 02/03/2022 12:40

Here is my pie!

That is a thing of beauty! I'll share a photo of mine when it's made...

UnbeatenMum · 02/03/2022 13:31

Do you have tinned chopped tomatoes or pasta sauce? If so I would make a mediterranean vegetable and chicken pasta bake (use courgettes and pepper). Grated cheese on top if you have any.

Ahhhhhbisto · 02/03/2022 13:37

I would do kebabs with sweet potato fries!

GettingStuffed · 02/03/2022 13:40

I'd do a chicken risotto with the veg except the broccoli which Is serve on the side, or a casserole or a curry. TBH this is a standard in our house and I often just make it up as I go along.
