I have some mini chicken fillets to eat tonight. I want something new to do with them.

I don't want to do fajitas or goujons or kebabs or pasta.

Normally I can come up with lost of ideas but I'm feeling totally uninspired today.

In my house I have a variety of vegetables, tomatoes, rice, various flavourings and seasoning and salad and potatoes.

I hate mushrooms, haricot beans.

Do any of you have any interesting recipes?

Thanks.

    Chicken casserole with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Maybe cook the casserole with white wine, stock and cream and add garlic, onions and carrots?

    Or a curry?

    With this cole weather, I only seem to be able to think of comfort food...

    Chicken biriyani? A couple of recipies here, you could always leave out one or two of the spices if you don't have them, as the ingredient list is so long.

    It’s probably similar taste to fajitas though.

    Fry some sliced onion, then add sliced peppers and roughly chopped garlic and fry to soft. Add tinned or fresh tomatoes and smoked paprika to taste (I add quite a lot). I usually use thighs, so they get added and left to simmer on low for about an hour so the sauce is nicely reduced. With fillets I’d reduce the sauce first then add the chicken for a few minutes to cook through.

    I serve with either rice or potatoes and some steamed broccoli.

    Interesting. I fancy some wedges so might do some of those with it.

    Sunny chicken.

    Brown the breasts in a little oil, then pop them into a saucepan with passata (or tinned tom's), chilli powder, paprika and a little cumin. Add veggies (peppers, baby corgettes and onion work well) and simmer until veg is softened.

    I add some chicken stock and some tomato ketchup so the sauce is nice and sweet - but not too sweet! Make it as spicey as you wish.

    Can be served with any carb - although I normally do it with rice!

    I didn't know this actually had a name! I make this quite often when I have left over meat or meat that needs to be eaten!
