Just want to say your food diary is fab! It all sounds so healthy and delicious! Go you!!!
Thank you for your comment. I'm trying to keep it interesting so I don't go off course. Thank you for the encouragement!
Hi HappyEm, thanks for your comment. I haven't done a Thai Prawn Curry, maybe you read that on someone elses diary? But I can give you the chicken recipe.
(I halve the recipe as I make it for two people)
Chicken with apples and cider
Serves 4. Per Serving, 269kcal Fat 7g Sat Fat 1g.
Ingredients- 2 tbsp oil (I use fry light)
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, cut into wedges
2 eating apples, peeled cored and each cut into 8 wedges
300ml dry cider
150ml chicken stock
Rice or mashed potato to serve. (I use a dash of milk and a heaped teaspoon of wholegrain mustard to plain mashed potatoes)
1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside. Lower the heat slightly and add the onion. Fry, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until tinged brown. Add the apple and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes until golden.
2. Still over a high heat, pour in the cider and bubble for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Add the stock, stirring to scrape the bits from the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat.
3. Return the chicken to the pan, cover and simmer for 5 minutes until it is almost cooked. Remove the lid and simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken the sauce a little. Season and serve.

I've had such a busy time recently and eating out more often, I've not done very well with my healthy eating. But I'm focused again now and I'm back into my routine.

Hi, Yeah I made it myself from a 'Cook yourself thin' recipe book. I can give you the recipe if you would like, just let me know. I make one, cut it into slices and freeze them. The idea being I will eat less, but as you can see I'm having it most days, I've had my last slice today however. It's a favourite recipe of mine as it's a great way to use up bananas that have gone too far.
