Salt & Pepper Chicken....

this is an amazing recipe by Minimin's MadameLaMinx's (Slimming World)

3x Chicken breasts chopped into strips.
2 onions, sliced so they made nice circles
4-5 cloves of finely chopped/minced garlic
a bunch of spring onions topped, tails, and chopped into small bits.
2-3 green or red chillis
a green pepper (I didnt have a green one so I used a yellow one instead) chopped into small chunks.
sea salt
black pepper

Liberally frylight a wok or large frying pan and heat up.
Add onions and green pepper to pan, and fry over a medium heat so they soften up nicely.
Add garlic, spring onions, chillis to pan and fry for a further minute or so.
Add chicken strips.
Throw several large pinches of sea salt and pepper over the chicken.
Fry the whole bally lot together, stirring repeatedly until the chicken is cooked through.

Serves 3 large portions at 238 cals per portion

It is REALLY REALLY tasty. I promise!​

Val in all honesty I would never normally have slimfast - I just don't believe meal replacements are healthy but...they taste really nice and yes they do fill me up til lunch, I do struggle with breakfast I jsut can't eat first thing so the milkshake is ideal, I have been awake for two hours now and only just starting to feel ready for breakfast

what a contradictory reply lol! I bet you are non the wiser

 

[sprytez]

tbh i'm the same. i don't usually *do* breakfast. tried, oh i did try... but i'd always feel hungrier and eat more in the rest of the day. so now, i only eat when i am hungry, and if that means i don't eat breakfast and get brunch or lunch instead, then hey, that's ok.

 

[donnajt]

I wish I could do that - i find that if I don't eat "meals" i graze and binge all day long

 

[Aaleigha]

the only breakfast that fills me is
10g milled flax seeds
35g oats
milk (I use kara coconut milk substitute)
and plenty of cinnamon

any other breakfast just leaves me hungry

Donna look at this link and look to the third planner down - you can customise it
10 Free Printable Daily Planners | Contented at Home
a friend found it and thought it could help me - and so I am passing it on

hope you enjoy your walk
I am going to take the dogs out shortly with DH - he just has to pop into work for half an hour (after he makes me a cup of tea) then when I get back I am going to prepare all the veggies for dinner then relax - yesterday was fairly eventful for me

H xx
