Mix peanut butter with hot chicken stock – stir until smooth.
Add peanut butter stock mixture to chicken pieces and simmer slowly for about 10 minutes

Okay, the reason for the name of this dish – it started out as Chicken a La King, and halfway through I realised that I don’t have mushrooms! LOL! But fear not! Managed to create a tasty dinner anyway! 🙂

100g chopped onions
200g chopped green pepper
150 ml chicken stock

Fry onion and green pepper in olive oil, add chicken stock and bring to a simmer. When onion and green pepper is softer and stock reduced, add chicken cubes and brown. Add tinned tomatoes and rest of the ingredients. Simmer for about 20 minute and…. ole!

5ml olive oil
½ teaspoon each – crushed garlic, crushed ginger, finely chopped chilies (or to taste)
1 tsp Woolies Mild curry powder (use Medium if too strong)
100g finely chopped onions
400g chicken fillets, cubed
400g par cooked potato cubes
125ml lite coconut milk (I use fat free milk with coconut essence to save my fat serves ;))

Fry spices and onion in olive oil for a few minutes. Add chicken and fry for about 3 minutes. Add rest of ingredients and simmer at a low heat for about 20 minutes (make sure potato is soft). I’m not a fan of soup that’s too chunky, so I took out some of the chicken and liquidized the rest – adding the chicken back to give some texture. Serve with fresh coriander.

Curry and Apple Chicken Wrap
Revamped January 2019, added a few new photos! The previous ones were pretty bad! Â
This is one of my favourite recipes. I love a good wrap! Especially for lunch 🙂
When packing my lunch for work, I very seldom just throw everything together – I am not a fan of mushy, soggy food. Okay, few people are! 😛
Today, for example – I packed the wraps separately, and the chicken mix, and the salad stuff (lettuce, cucumber strips, and chopped peppadews) also in a separate divided container.
Yes, maybe a bit of a mission – but worth it, believe me! 🙂
This was the chicken curry (fake Coronation??) mix:
90 g cooked chicken, chopped
1 small Granny Smith apple, chopped
2 small salad onions, chopped
30 ml low fat mayo
1/2 teaspoon curry powder (mild)
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare this the night before – for the flavours to develop 🙂
Quick and easy!
Pile on a wrap with lettuce and top off with cucumber strips! Yummy! 😀
Also works as a salad, in pitas and on whole wheat bread 🙂
