Right so just prepared my chicken, I brought it earlier and it's in date till 15th Sept but as I went to wash it I had a small whiff, so I continued to wash it and put it in a dish and sniffed it like 5 times and 4 out of 5 of those times it smelt of nothing but 1 time I did have a whiff! Now I'm awful with meat hate the thought of anything being slightly off and would normally chuck it! But I've put it in the oven as if it was off it would smell real bad right? Once I put butter on all I could smell was the butter! Just wondered what u guys thought! Uh I get so ocd about meat!

Sorry to hear Elisha has been poorly,I hope she's a lot better now,I don't think you are a piggy with the bread either! They are very small slices!
I think so long as there is no 'unusual' smell when you dish the chicken up then you should be ok.In date means nothing so always go by smell :0)

I used to b awful, if I wasn't 100% that something was cooked I wouldn't eat it, even if my oh and Elisha was eating it and oh told me it was fine, just the thought it would make me sick meant I couldn't bring myself to eat it! I'm much better now tho, if oh says it's cooked I eat it! I do get him to do the temp test on most things still tho!

Glad your daughter is feeling better and I really wouldn't worry about the chicken - when chicken is off it smells absolutely VILE while it is cooking. My OH doesn't really have a sense of smell (literally can't smell most things even if they are under his nose) and I came home once to a very very very unpleasant smell - OH had decided to put the chicken on for dinner and it had clearly been off, although still in date. Ended up phoning the supermarket and complaining and it turned out that the wrong date had been put on a batch of chickens in the factory There is no way you wouldn't smell that the chicken was off once it started cooking so its definitely alright if all you can smell is the butter.
And I don't think having two sandwiches with WW bread is being piggy at all! For me trying to have a smaller or lower pp-ed lunch or breakfast is just a false economy as I know I will end up hungry and snacking later.
