I dont often make time anymore to prep out veges but did today. They are then stored in separate containers in fridge for quick meals.
One Pot Dinners : Herbed chicken
One pot dinners are quick as everything goes together in one pot and put in oven for 20-minutes until chicken is cooked through at 180*c preheated oven. I decided to do sweet potato chips and 1/2 tin drained baby beets with 1tb balsamic and 1tsp oil. See recipe below.
Added straight cut chips to hubbys.
Balsamic beets with olive oil baked in oven with chicken
Serves 2:
Mix 1tsp of each garlic salt, onion flakes, Tarragon, Thyme, Marjoram then spread on chicken with 1Tb extra Virgin olive oil and 2x 150g chicken breast fillets.
Place beans in casserole dish then the herbed chicken and broccoli.
Bake in hot oven 180*c for 20minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
Place a sliced small sweet potato thinly cut with mandolin cutter into discs on a lined baking tray for 10minutes to make sweet potato chips. *Keep eye on them so they don’t burn. turn cook for further 10minutes if not done.

Miso Soups:
My new love is miso soups. I am now discovering new ways to have miso soup not just the instant packet but adding to it. With the packets you add I pouch of contents into a cup of boiling water and stir for a couple of minutes if having them on their own. I took some camping with me for a hot drink/snack. Here are some variations on just the soup and the packets I have found. If there is Nori Sheets it sinks to the bottom. The pandaroo brand has lot more sodium so I will be sticking to the other brands.

Portuguese chicken
Pan fried Portuguese chicken, microwave chips
Dinner for one. Using up ingredients in freezer & fridge before starting new eating plan and grocery day. This Portuguese marinade was very spicy hot as it was leftover from a previous meal a couple of months back (Chili gets hotter in cold fridge)but expiry date hadn’t come yet. So it was still good to use.
Serves 1
I marinated chicken in Portuguese sauce overnight then pan fried it in olive oil. Cut into chunks and serve in rice bowl
I put frozen straight cut chips in microwave bowl and cooked in microwave for 2min 30 seconds
Make side salad of mixed leaves, cherry tomatoes and cucumber with lemon squeezed over top.
