Chicken Three Ways

How to make 3 healthy lunches from 2 chicken breasts

Makes 8 serves 

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts (4 halves) skin off, fat trimmed off
3 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tsp minced garlic
4 tablespoons mild mexican salsa
90g tasty cheese (3 square slices)
4 slices smoked ham
Salt & Pepper

Prep work

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Cut two of the chicken breast halves into long strips and divide into two portions. Place each into a small bowl.  

Bowl 1 - Sweet chilli chicken

Into the bowl, add 2 tablespoons of the sweet chilli sauce. Toss chicken to coat and set aside for ten minutes to marinate, before baking in oven for 20 minutes. 

Bowl 2 - Sticky chicken

Into the bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the sweet chilli sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and toss to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate, before baking in the oven for 20 minutes. 

Recipe 3 - Cheat's Chicken Parmigiana

1. Take the remaining 2 breast halves and cut these in half length ways so that you have 4 thin fillets. Place them in a lined casserole dish or baking tray with sides, and season with salt and pepper. 

2. Spread each of the chicken fillets with 1 tablespoon of Mexican salsa.

3. Cut the ham into halves and place 2 pieces on top of the salsa, per fillet.

4. Cut up the cheese so that you have even portions for 4 fillets and place these on top of the ham slices. 
 
5. Bake in oven for 25 minutes or until cheese is golden. 

Serving ideas
