Brown Rice Chicken Salad
This tasty salad is made using brown rice for fibre, that’s been cooked in chicken stock, for extra flavour. Quick and easy to make, you don’t need to put the oven on when its baking hot and you just want some dinner.
Filling from the brown rice and those lovely vegetables, it’s less than 400 calories too! Inexpensive too to help those purses and wallets.
Chicken and Mushroom Crumble
This gorgeous crumble has a nutty, seedy, oaty topping and a creamy, chicken and mushroom base. It will freeze very well, either cooked or uncooked. Lovely to have a home made ready meal in the freezer that just needs to be defrosted.
