Chicken Mince and Basil Stir Fry
Confession time…what do you eat when you are the only one home for dinner?
super quick and tasty….
Many of my friends or clients will opt for something quick and easy like toast or a boiled egg, but forget that dinner is the time when you usually get to eat your vegetables…and they are very important as they help to keep you healthy!
there is loads of vegies in there!
Vegetables are your every day super foods! Just ask Jamie Oliver!!
zucchini, beans, mushrooms, cabbage, spring onions, basil….oh, and some chicken!!
This is one of my favourite meals which I cook when I am home alone and ticks all the boxes:
– you only use one dish (wok)
– it make enough for leftovers (it serves 3, so I cook once and get 3 meals out of it – 2 dinners and one lunch)
– it is quick and easy
– it includes loads of those super-foods…vegetables!
– and it tastes delicious!
