Honey, Mustard and Thyme Chicken

Honey, Mustard and Thyme Chicken recipe, eat well on universal credit

This sounds very ‘Chefy’ but the Chicken breasts were of special offer at 7 for £5 so about £0.71 each. We split the pack up and frozen them in potions in bags. We acquire store cupboard ingredients for various recipes. So we didn’t need to buy much else apart from the small pot of Cream.

Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts, cut in half lengthways
1 Tbsp of Wholegrain Mustard
1 Tsp of Dijon Mustard
5 Cloves of Garlic, minced
½ An Onion, finely diced
5 Rashers of Streaky Bacon, chopped
150Ml of Chicken Stock
200ml of Single Cream
1 Tsp of Dried Thyme
1 Tsp of Dried Parsley
5 Mushrooms, finely sliced
½ a Lemon, juiced
Salt & pepper to taste
1 Spring Onion, finely sliced, to garnish
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) In a large frying pan add a little Oil and on a medium heat fry the Bacon until crispy.
(2) Remove and sit aside.
(3) Add a little more Oil and fry the Onions until softened.
(4) Add the Garlic and stir for a further 2 minutes.
(5) Add the Chicken Breasts and fry gently for 8 to 10 minutes, turning regularly.
(6) Add the Mushrooms and season with Salt & Pepper.
(7) Add the Honey, Dijon Mustard, Wholegrain Mustard and stir in.
(8) Add the Stock, Thyme, Parsley and Lemon Juice.
(9) Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
(10) Add the Cream and stir in the Bacon as the sauce simmers. Reserving a little to garnish.
(11) Serve on a bed of Rice and garnish with Bacon and sliced Spring Onions.

Although far from the norm, we fried some Prawn Crackers so we had something to mop the sauce up with. Very tasty indeed!

Seriously silly Burger

Both Sue and I have done a stint at McBurger King in the past. They don’t do burgers like this!

When I was scouting the yellow sticker fridge a couple of evening ago I came home with Blue Cheese and Beef mince. We already had a small Gluten free Sour-dough loaf and salad which were free as they were well past their ‘End of Live’ date and were heading for composting.

All the ingredients for a ‘Lock-Down’ burger to both entertain us playing in the kitchen together and provide a cracking meal. Well actually two meals as we’ll be eating the remaining half today!

There’s not a lot of point typing up a recipe for this creation as it’s unlikely we’ll ever perfectly replicate it. But the unusual ingredient was the Blue Cheese and Mushroom sauce Sue created. Ousing Cheesy mushroomy goodness!

Perhaps not a burger to try to eat with dignity in public – But there’s only us and the cat here to see our greasy chops!
