Cajun Chicken Recipe

I get sooooo bored of plain old chicken that I'm always willing to try something new. This is a totally made up recipe  totally made up but tastes great and can be tweaked to be free on Slumming World

Ingredients

2 tsp Onion powder
3 tsp Garlic powder
2tsp Cayenne pepper (this makes it quite spicy, adjust to taste)
3 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tsp Cumin
Pinch Salt
Pinch of Pepper

3 large chicken breasts cut into small slices or chunks

Sliced carrot
2 peppers cut into chunks

A zip lock bag
A roasting bag or tin foil
Olive oil or fry light (SW free)

Preheat the oven to 180 or Gas mark 5

Combine all spices in the roasting bag
Add veggies and meat to the bag and shake well and rub mix into the ingredients to ensure everything is evenly coated

Roast for 45 minutes at 180 60 minutes if just roasting in foil

I serve this with nice n spice veggie rice check the recipe here

Simple Breakfast Casserole Recipe

I love a One Pot recipe, less clean up and less effort what's not to love? I love a nice breakfast too so this recipe scores high in my lazy points! I've seen lots of people make slow cooker breakfasts, or one pan breakfasts but I wanted something very Slimming World and Syn Free and this is what I came up with

• 1 can chopped tomatoes
  
• 3 frozen Quorn sausages
  
• 2 eggs
  
• Basil (I use dried)
  
• Fry light
  

Instructions

• Spray a medium saucepan with fry light
  
• Pour in tomatoes and sausages and boil
  
• When the sausages have softened enough chop into pieces about an inch wide
  
• Keep boiling until the tomatoes start to thicken
  
• Make two wells in the mixture and crack and egg in each

• Cover pan and simmer for about 7-10 minutes until the egg white is properly poached this should leave the told perfectly soft and slightly runny
• Serve (Sadly there seems no way to get the casserole from pan to plate in a beautiful presentation but I swear the taste more than makes up for it
  

This fed two of us as its really filling,

I'm going to try this with some bacon and mushrooms in for the husband I'll just fry the bacon and mushrooms before addis the toms and sausages.
