Chicken Green Pepper in Chilli Soy Sauce

Serves 2

2 x boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1 x large onion
1 x large carrot
1 x green pepper
1 x green chilli or half a teaspoon of dried chillies (or to taste)
Soya Sauce

Chop the onion, green pepper and carrot into large peices. Cut the chicken breasts into strips. Fry off chicken in a small amount of olive oil add vegetables and continue to cook for approx 5/10 mins. Add soya sauce continue cooking of a further 2 mins and serve.

Can be served on it's own or with rice/noodles.

It is also nice with strips of beef.

You can also do it without the chicken Paulst. I have just added more carrot, mushrooms and beensprouts.

Sounds delicious Me, gonna try that

hi suzie, we are just trying your soup recipe and its wonderful, even my son likes it, so it must be good.

McCormick's here in the US makes a citrus grill seasoning. It's so tasty with lemon juice on salmon. I used to kind of baste the salmon with it, but now I toss the salmon in and use aluminum foil to bunch the lemon juice close up over the salmon. I turn the salmon skin-side up and bake it. Yummy!

Just looked up the DASH diet, it looks very sensible! I'm lucky enough to have low BP, but I know I should work on my cholesterol!

I think that the biggest problem as far as food is concerned with SAD, is that it seems such an effort to cook sometimes. I like to cook things from scratch, not usually complicated things, but I try and keep convenience food to a minimum.

I love getting those ready cooked chickens. Even in the summer, they're a real boon, when it's too hot to cook, just rustle up some salad.

We are a family of veggies, so suzies recipe suited us perfectly, I dont normally eat soup, but the recipe was very tasty, I used to be a chef several years ago, but still enjoy basic simple food cooked well.

I very rarely cook during the winter. If I have an 'ok' day I will try and do something relatively healthy, veggies or salad and something. I do try but fail dismally most days.

kaz_me, I know just what you mean. I say I'm going to fight it and then in the next instant, I've ducked my head into the fridge. Yesterday, I ate a Lean Cuisine Santa Fe Beans and rice for lunch... then I went to the grocery store and bought a rotisserie chicken. I didn't even get it home before I was picking at it...

Oh, just walking down the sidewalk, sticking my fingers into that greasy meat... I can't tell you how silly I felt.

And then I get home, eat half the chicken and then dive into the food I bought... Oh, a Lean Hot Pocket... and half a tub of fat-free cool whip...

It was just an awful binge. The rest of the chicken went for dinner, so I ate the whole chicken by myself yesterday. When I threw out the remains, I was so disgusted. Along with all the other food I ate... the rest of the Cool Whip, some jelly from the jar, half of a huge tub of meringes, a second lean pocket... Who knows what else!

But, this apparently is going to happen from time to time. I'll just do my best with it and keep on going. Chances are, I will be fairly indifferent to food today.

I get really hungry for food this time of year but it NEVER tastes as amazing as I think it's going to. I could eat the must decadent baked good and it just wouldn't live up to my expectations. I think I binge because I'm desperately looking for flavor.

Well, I fixed myself up. I bought jalapenos and banana peppers to munch on. That ought to be flavorful. :P

Jalapenos to snack on????? Thats crazy biscuits!! Ooo... biscuits...

Oh, thank goodness I found this thread again. Couldn't think of what it was!

So, who wants to come to my place for dinner? I had a marinated portabella mushroom sandwich, applesauce topped with cinnamon and two hard-boiled eggs. And a few low-cal chocolate meringues for "dessert."

I tried snacking on a jalapeno, but it was hotter that way than I thought! Might chop one up and put it in a sandwich. I had a pickle instead.

I know we should be eating healthy, but my favourite comfort type food is pizza, cheese,tomato, sweetcorn with red and green peppers, yum.
