This is fast good food at it’s best. I always have these ingredients in my fridge / freezer which means that I can make this healthy, quick and substantial meal any time. Don’t consider leaving out the mint – it absolutely makes the dish. It is best to use a good non stick pan for cooking this as it makes it so much easier in that you don’t have to worry about the omelette sticking to the pan. Continue reading

Super-quick grilled salmon
This is great “fast’ food – it makes a super tasty quick lunch or dinner. It uses simple ingredients and contains those Omega 3 fatty acids that are so good for your heart! I served it with green beans which were steamed, then tossed in a little butter and some toasted flaked almonds. It is so tasty and looks a picture plus it gives the impression that a lot more work and effort has gone into making it.
Chicken Breasts with honey & mustard
This is one of my fall-back recipes when I don’t have much time as it is quick, easy to prepare and very tasty. You only need a few ingredients one of which is Dijon mustard – don’t be put off by this and think that the chicken will taste of mustard, take my word for it, it doesn’t.
Tip: I often cook an extra piece (or two) of chicken as it tastes just as good when it is cold, in a sandwich or in a salad, the next day. You can cook potato wedges (see separate recipe) at the same time to have with it.
Ingredients (serves 4)
4 skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Turn on the oven to 180°C
Method
Mix together the honey and mustard in a large bowl.
Add the chicken breasts and mix well with the honey & mustard
Put the chicken in an oven proof dish (or foil tray if you want to save on the washing up!)
Drizzle with olive oil
Season with salt & pepper.
Pop into the oven for 30 / 40 mins
Slice each chicken breast and serve with any green veg and mashed potatoes or potato wedges
