Remember that roast chicken I cooked and portioned up yesterday? Well today is when the magic of the pre cooked chicken happens!
Lunch for the kids was a quick job. They each had a drumstick and a chicken wing, a GF oat and raisin cookie (Freedom Foods GF oats), a small piece of GF brownie, some white corn chips and some strawberries.
For dinner we had a Mexcian quinoa bake. This is one of my favourite week day meals because it's quick and doesn't dirty up too many dishes. My ten year old daughter Jemima made this meal last night. It's a nice and easy one to get kids in the kitchen.
To a large bowl add:
1 jar of pasta sauce or salsa
2 drained tins of kidney beans
1 C frozen corn kernels
1 C grated cheese (optional)
1 diced capsicum
2 C cooked quinoa (or rice, or pasta)
1 pre cooked chicken breast and 2 thighs, chopped roughly
Mix it all up then pop it into an oven safe dish. Cook for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
We like this meal with guacamole and crushed corn chips on top. Like nachos, but a bit healthier.
* this makes enough for our family of four plus two decent lunches for the following day.
