we went out for lunch yesterday (thankfully not chicken) now although I coat meat in honey I had never thought to roast potatoes and veg in it. They tasted well yummy and something I might do ..I think it will have to be plain honey mind not my flavoured ones.

Better still.
Go to Waitrose and get one already cooked..

Sue that's hard work lol I do occasionally scan the net for recipes mind I also have a load of cook books here including a chicken book and a panfry meals in under 20mins,or something like that, it might be all-in-one-pan meals.

But I find that other peoples adapted ideas are often better

I made it and put carrots as well as Broccoli in and it was yummy.

Really Yummy this recipe.made it myself.



CLASSIC CHICKEN DIVAN

Broccoli spears, frozen or fresh, cooked
1/4 c. butter
6 tbsp. flour
2 c. chicken broth
1/2 c. whipping cream
3 tbsp. dry white wine
3 chicken breasts, halved & cooked
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Melt butter; blend in flour, dash salt and pepper. Add chicken broth. Cook and stir until mixture thickens and bubbles. Stir in cream and wine. Place broccoli crosswise in baking dish. Pour half sauce over. Top with chicken. To remaining sauce, add cheese; pour over chicken; sprinkle with additional cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated through. Broil for 5 minutes until sauce is golden. Makes 6 servings.


c is for cups which is about 3 oz,

I remarked not long ago that I may aswell buy a whole chicken rather than just the breasts as it works out much cheaper. I can often get 5/6 individual meals off 1 chicken.
Problem is 6 nights a week I am on my own to eat.
Anyway we 'roast' the cluck in the slow cooker. (OH de-bones it 1st) so we both get a roast dinner off it. Or OH just cuts it into sections to be used seperately, then I boil the bones for stock and make a stew out of them with the left over chicken.

We have done paella, currys, served it with a plum and apple stuffing, roasted different bits (legs or breasts) with flavoured honey. I don't bother with the BBQ for just 1, but have done minted chicken, chicken in white wine and mushroom sauce, Chicken in red wine and mush sauce (coq au vin almost), served it with salads, rice, pots and gravy, stirfries, terreyaki chicken

Today we bought a chicken and guess what .....
I have run out of ideas what to do with it lol

Anyone got any recipes or ideas out there ?

edit to say that I should add I often freeze down portions for later use when doing curries or stews etc
