Tender honey soy glazed chicken strips, creamy radish slaw and crispy shallots all in one – we promise, this combo
is love at first bite! And second bite, and third bite... Pack it up and enjoy it for a lunch that'll be the envy of all.

Honey Soy & Sesame Chicken Strips with Radish & Peanut Slaw Quick Prep | Ready in 15 | Serves 2

olive oil

2.5 tbs soy sauce

tsp honey

sachet sesame seeds

chicken breast strips

radishes

coriander

lemon

carrot

slaw mix

peanuts

mayonnaise

crispy shallots

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey and sesame seeds. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breast strips until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. In the last 30 seconds, add the honey soy mixture to the pan, turning the chicken to coat. Transfer to 2 small heatproof containers. Pour over any remaining pan juices. Refrigerate.

While the chicken is cooking, thinly slice the radish. Roughly chop the coriander. Slice the lemon into wedges. Grate the carrot. In a large bowl, combine the radish, coriander, carrot, slaw mix and crushed peanuts.

Divide the mayonnaise, a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil between two separate containers. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Top with the slaw. Refrigerate. TIP: Keeping the chicken separate will help keep the slaw fresh! TIP: Packing the dressing on the bottom keeps the slaw crisp overnight!

At lunch, microwave the chicken for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Toss the slaw to combine. Top with the chicken and sprinkle with crispy shallots. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.

Forget takeout: the path to sweet-and-savory dinner bliss is as simple as breaking out a fry pan. In this easy recipe,
chicken, pepper, and caramelised onion are coated in tantalizing oyster sauce and peanuts are transformed into the
perfect crunchy topping. Everything comes together over a steamy bed of rapid rice. The results? A symphony of
flavors and textures that are so delicious, you might just lick the plate.

Easy Pepper & Onion Chicken Stir-Fry with Crushed Peanuts & Rapid Rice

baby broccoli

basmati rice

½ sachet Black Peppercorns

tub caramelised onion chutney

oyster sauce

soy sauce

chicken

Boil a kettle of water. Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiling water. Add the basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over a high heat until tender, 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

While the rice is cooking, cut the baby broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Lightly crush the black peppercorns (see ingredients) in a pestle and mortar or in their sachet using a rolling pin.

SPICY! Black peppercorns can be hot, add less if you’re sensitive to heat! In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Add the diced chicken, baby broccoli and carrot, then season and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir through the crushed black peppercorns, caramelised onion chutney, oyster sauce and a drizzle of soy sauce.

Divide the rice between bowls. Top with the pepper and onion chicken stir-fry. Garnish with the crushed peanuts.

Quick Chicken Schnitzel & Mustard Mayo with Cherry Tomato & Almond Salad

pear

punnet cherry tomatoes

chicken breast

tbs plain flour

salt

eggs

panko breadcrumbs

almonds

honey

mixed salad leaves

mustard mayo

Cut the lemon into wedges. Thinly slice the pear. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Place the chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper. Pound the chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness, about 1cm thick.

In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour, the salt and a pinch of pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs. Dip the chicken breast into the flour mix, followed by the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Toast the slivered almonds, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. When the oil is hot, cook the schnitzels, in batches, until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. TIP: If needed, add extra oil to stop the schnitzel from sticking to the pan.

In a medium bowl, combine a squeeze of lemon juice, honey and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. Add the pear, cherry tomatoes and mixed salad leaves. Toss to combine.

Divide the chicken schnitzel and cherry tomato salad between plates. Sprinkle with the toasted slivered almonds and serve with any remaining lemon wedges and the mustard mayonnaise.

Asian Chicken Schnitzel & Katsu Sauce with Japanese Slaw

snow peas

katsu paste

water

¾ packet panko breadcrumbs

sesame seeds

cabbage mix

brown sugar

butter

sachet Southeast Asian Spice Blend

Japanese dressing

Trim and thinly slice the snow peas lengthways. In a medium bowl, combine the katsu paste and water.

Place the chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper. Pound the chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness, about 1cm. In a shallow bowl, combine the Southeast Asian spice blend and the salt. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and mixed sesame seeds. Dip the chicken into the spice mixture, followed by the egg, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. Fry the crumbed chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the schnitzel does not stick to the pan.

While the chicken is cooking, combine the snow peas, shredded cabbage mix and Japanese dressing in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Wash and dry the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat. Add the katsu mixture and cook, whisking, until slightly reduced, 2-5 minutes. Add the brown sugar and butter and stir to combine.

Slice the Asian chicken schnitzels. Divide the schnitzel and Japanese slaw between plates. Top the chicken with the katsu sauce.

Couscous speckled with veggies and mint is a winning side dish – it’s fast, fresh and full of flavour. Serve it next to gently seared salmon and a lemony yoghurt, then add a sprinkling of toasted almonds for extra goodness and crunch. This meal is a star performer!

Seared Salmon & Herbed Couscous with Lemon Yoghurt & Toasted Almonds

garlic

water (for the couscous)

vegetable stock

couscous

tomato

mint

onions

baby spinach leaves

Greek-style yoghurt

water (for the dressing)

salmon

Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water (for the couscous) and the crumbled vegetable stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people) and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Leave until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside, uncovered.

Finely chop the tomato. Pick and roughly chop the mint leaves. In a medium bowl, combine the tomato, 1/2 the mint and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Thinly slice the spring onion. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Zest the lemon to get a good pinch, then slice in half.

In a small bowl, combine the Greek-style yoghurt, a squeeze of lemon juice and the water (for the dressing). Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little olive oil and mix well. Set aside.

Heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and cook, tossing, until toasted, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, cook the salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side (depending on the thickness). Remove from the heat to rest. TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan! Salmon can be served slightly blushing pink in the centre.

While the salmon is resting, add the spring onion, baby spinach, lemon zest and the remaining mint to the couscous. Drizzle with a little olive oil and mix well to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide the herbed couscous between plates. Top with the seared salmon and tomato salsa. Spoon over the lemon yoghurt and sprinkle with the toasted almonds. TIP: For the Calorie Smart option, serve without the toasted almonds.
