Buffalo Chicken Nachos

May 30, 2019 By All That I'm Eating 16 Comments

Buffalo Chicken and Nacho Toppings

You know when you see a recipe and you can’t get it out of your head? It all started when I saw a recipe for buffalo cauliflower, it sounded so good. Then I saw an idea for some seriously loaded nachos. The combination of the two sounded like a dream. These pulled buffalo chicken nachos are everything I wanted them to be: spicy, slightly sweet, covered with cheese and full of texture. Perfect for sharing on the sofa.

Ingredients

You will need (for two greedy people):

  • Two chicken breasts
  • Salt
  • 3-4 tbsp buffalo sauce
  • 1 bag plain nachos
  • 1 small tin sweetcorn, drained
  • 4 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 green jalapeño chilli, sliced
  • 150g mild cheddar cheese, grated
  • Ranch dressing

Method

Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add a little salt. Drop the chicken breasts into the water, bring the pan back to the boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook the chicken for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through. read more

Sticky Chilli Chicken with Avocado Rice Salad

May 11, 2018 By All That I'm Eating 11 Comments

sticky chilli chicken with avocado grapefruit rice salad

I have to admit that I turn to a chicken dinner in some form or other most weeks. Especially as the evenings get lighter and warmer as it’s an easy meal to pull together and so flexible on the ingredients used too. My latest offering, this sticky chilli chicken with avocado rice salad, is full of colour and vibrant flavour and ready in 30 minutes. Trust me on the grapefruit. If you don’t fancy using chicken in this then I think tofu, halloumi or aubergine would be great alternatives.

Ingredients

You will need (for two):

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • Rapeseed oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2-3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 150g brown rice
  • 1 large avocado, skin and stone removed, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 grapefruit, peel and pith removed, roughly chopped
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped

Method

Pop a pan of water on to boil and once boiling add the rice and cook according to packet instructions. I find it normally takes around 20 minutes.

Then, put the two chicken breasts between two sheets of clingfilm and whack them with a rolling pin to make them a little thinner; around 1-1.5cm thick is ideal. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

While the rice cooks prepare the avocado, grapefruit and onion. Mix them all together in a bowl and add a little salt and pepper. The grapefruit juice will stop the avocado from turning brown.

Around 10 minutes before the rice is cooked heat up a frying pan on a medium/high heat and add a little oil. Add the chicken and fry on both sides until cooked through and starting to turn golden brown. Pour in the sweet chilli sauce and leave it to bubble up, turn sticky and coat the chicken.

Drain the rice well and stir in the avocado mix. Serve up with the chicken on the side.

The chicken is so good! It’s sticky, spicy and, depending on the sweet chilli sauce you use, garlicky too! The brown rice brings a lovely wholesomeness while the avocado works to smooth everything out. Adding the grapefruit means there’s a fantastic sharpness to cut through everything. You could use so many different ingredients like mango and quinoa, miso or aubergine! And if you’re a fan of quick recipes during the week you might like to take a look at my other 30 minute recipes.
