Chicken recipes
Chicken & bacon burgers with basil-avocado mayo
Chicken & bacon burgers with basil-avocado mayo I’ve had way too many crappy chicken burgers in my lifetime – dry and flavourless, it’s a crushing shame! Done well, it’s a mouthwatering meal. A good bun can really make a burger great, so if you can, go to a bakery or […]
Italian chicken bake with herb vinaigrette
Italian chicken bake with herb vinaigrette This is an extremely popular recipe from my third book, Homemade Happiness. You can either dress it up for a special occasion (using the fresh mozzarella, basil, Parmesan, balsamic and a fancy garlic bread) or just keep it basic for a cosy night in […]
Chicken fajitas with epic Mexican salsa
Chicken fajitas with epic Mexican salsa I think Mexican cuisine should be a fiesta of vibrant flavours and colours assaulting your senses at the table. I love it! These chicken fajitas are healthy and delicious – nothing like greasy old tex-mex. Say goodbye to buying pre-made flavour sachets as well, […]
Chelsea’s chicken Caesar salad
I’ve had some dreadful Caesar salads in my time and I’m sure you have too – overly creamy and rich, heavily salted, made with poor-quality ingredients and manufactured dressing. Done well, however, this salad can be a real delight. I think the magic really lies in the dressing – it […]
Creamy chicken & basil macaroni cheese
Chicken & basil macaroni cheese This is a nice little twist on a classic macaroni; I’ve added chicken for extra grunt and Parmesan, basil and garlic for a lovely Italian vibe. Sneaking in loads of spinach and peas, it’s a complete meal in a dish! If your budget permits, I […]
Perfect roast chicken recipe
Tender, succulent, perfect roast chicken Not all roasted chickens are created equal. Surely you just pop the chook in a roasting dish and cook according to packet directions? Actually, I reckon that dries the chicken out, and this method gives far juicier results. No, the skin doesn’t end up crispy […]
Thai chicken curry recipe
Easy Thai chicken curry This Thai Green Chicken Curry recipe is from my bestselling cookbook, Everyday Delicious. You’ll impress the pants off yourself (and your diners) with this knockout – and I’ve created the recipe using ingredients that are easy to find. The main thing with Thai food is getting […]
Crumbed chicken drumsticks with tasty slaw
Panko-crumbed chicken drumsticks This could possibly be the most delicious chicken I’ve tasted, and it’s such a simple recipe. Not only are drumsticks affordable, they have loads of flavour and cooked like this, the meat is juicy and tender. No need for a deep fryer here, or loads of oil. […]
Roasted chicken breast with creamy garlic & herb sauce
The only saucy chicken breast recipe you’ll ever need… This is definitely one of my all time favourite go-to chicken recipes when I want a pretty flash meal, but don’t have much time to fluff around! The chicken is beautifully tender and juicy, the sauce rich and mouthwatering. I’d go […]
Portuguese chicken thighs with mango salsa
Portuguese chicken thighs I love the spicy, flavoursome marinade used in this dish, and the sweet mango salsa is a perfect partner! Not to mention it’s bright and friendly looking. I’ve used chicken thighs because they are so tender and juicy – you can use bone-in or out, skin on […]
Thai chicken salad
Sometimes when I eat a crappy boring salad, I realise why there’s a saying ‘You don’t win friends with salad’. Salads need to be bursting with loads of different flavours and textures, and it needs to fill you up if you want to make a meal out of it (so […]
