Have 3 chicken breasts to use up, would like something a bit different, need to use up some peppers and courgette etc, so would maybe like to combine with a sauce of some kind?

With pasta, with potatoes, or rice, we have all of that in storecupboard.

Thanks!

I have a recipe for "summer chicken" in which you fry the chicken till cooked then, in the same pan, add cherry tomatoes and then creme fraiche and pesto to make a sauce. I daresay you could substitute your peppers and courgette for my tomatoes and make something equally tasty.

oh that sounds lovely! but alas no cream fraiche or pesto, am trying to avoid going to the shops you see [lazy mummy emoticon]

In that case, (and in case you haven't cooked something already), how about Chicken Chaat (WW version)?

Crush 1tsp salt and 2 cloves garlic to a paste. Fry paste in a little oil for 3 mins. Add 3 chopped chicken breasts and stir fry 5-6 mins. Sprinkle 1tsp ground coriander, 1/4 tsp turmeric and 1 tsp chilli powder and fry another 3-4 mins. Remove from heat and sprinkle on 2tbsps lemon juice and 1tsp dried coriander (the recipe says fresh but I never have that so use this instead).

Serve with rice or couscous with your veg on the side.
