I get it ready the night before and I have just finished this creation.
I think I have outdone myself this time. Chicken roulade made with spinach and cottage cheese on a bed of cous cous and veg on the side.
For the chicken, I took one breast, butterfly cut and then pounded flat. I then put spinach leaves and some cottage cheese and pepper and then rolled it up as tight as possible. Wrapped in numerous layers of saran wrap and boiled in water until the chicken cooked through. Then fish it out of the water, unwrap and then slice.
Normally I would make these with cream cheese and some roasted capsicum in oil but I think this will work out OK. Might be a tad on the bland side (boiled chicken after all) but maybe with some more pepper it will be a fairly decent lunch. One breast will do me for two lunches.
Cous Cous was prepared with no salt or butter but just a bit of oil. I added some pepper and fresh parsley while fluffing with a fork. Patrick was right that weight for volume there is more bang for the grammage.
Very fancy, bravo!
ReplyDeleteI too had chicken today, but nowhere near as fancy. Attempted to add some extra flavour to it by searing it before poaching. Every little helps...
Wow Tracey I am impressed. That looks and sounds fabulous. And when in your busy schedule did you have time to do all of this?
ReplyDeleteIt looks fancy but it was super quick to make. 15 minutes I guess it took.
ReplyDeleteI make all my food at night after the baby is in bed. In the morning it is insane with breakfast, getting dressed and packed for day care/work etc.
I did manage to get my skips done this morning though. It was rough but they are done!! So tonight when I get home just exercises.
