Chicken Snacks

No, not FOR chicken. Made WITH chicken ;-)

I had to do 7 days of Attack phase, and I found it very hard going. What did help me was always having a plastic container of this in the fridge for those energy slumps I would get during the day. But the recipe works equally well for a meal.

Marinate some chicken breasts in your choice of:
  • soy sauce, chopped garlic, lime juice and chilli
  • yogurt mixed with chilli sauce
  • lemon juice, herbes de provence
  • yogurt mixed with tandoori spices or garam masala

Marinate for at least the time is takes to preheat the oven to 200C, but overnight is even better.

Put the chicken breasts and all the marinade in a tight-fitting dish so the marinade doesn't evaporate but stays around to cook the meat.

Cook for approx 30 min, turning once, until the meat is cooked through but still tender.

Wait for it too cool a bit before you wolf it down. Make enough every time so you have leftovers which you can slice and heat in the microwave with some of the sauce for a quick pick-me-up.
