Chicken fajitas for me too tonight, seems to be a popular choice! No wraps just lots of salad on the side.

I'm getting great ideas for tasty dinners from you all. I've just had vegetable chilli, baked potato and salad and it went down a treat

 

[Purplebint]

Barbecue! Burger, sausage, chicken, corn on the cob, potato salad and salad. 3 syns for the plate, and that's for the burger and sausage.

Pete's peanut curry made with sliced pork (as had no chicken) and brown basmati rice. Makes a huge amount so will prob portion into 3 or 4 and at 9 syns for the peanut butter makes it about 2-3 syns per portion. Worth it!

Ok here goes and hope it works cos doing this on my iPhone so can't post a link (don't know how). However do look in the sticky about recipes and Pete has some brill ones particularly the curries which I like. Mushy pea curry is great too.

Method

In a frying pan sprayed with Fry Light, cook the chicken until browned, remove and set aside.
Spray the frying pan again with fry Light, cook onion, garlic, ginger & chilli until soft.
Add the cumin, turmeric, curry powder & coriander, cook for 2 minutes then add the chicken, tomatoes & sweetener, cook for 10 mins. Place the stockpot on top of the cooking food and allow to infuse.
Add the peanut butter and the 200mL of water mix well & cook on a medium heat until the chicken is hot, and the sauce has thickened, sprinkle the coriander over the food.
Serve with rice & side salad.
(Finish the meal with chilled melon)

It doesn't say when to add the pepper but I just put it in after the spices and it was lovely still had a crunch.
Enjoy!

Definitely agree. The peanut butter isn't really noticeable but seemed to make it thick and creamy. I didn't have to add any salt at all and used sugar free peanut butter from sainsburys.

Ended up having a sweet and sour mugshot with microwaved carrot batons & salad.

Oh and THREE dessert pears as a post-weigh in sulk (well, semi-sulk as the biscuits were swerved, but there had to be an overindulgence of sorts!)
