Easy chicken dinner

It is one of those nights where I have tons to do, little time to cook and about to cave in and get take away.
My husband is an athlete, therefore nutrition is quite important for us and he loves his meat. I didn’t do the groceries shopping in a while and I was left with little in the fridge (all taken care of right now).
My mum use to throw pretty much everything she could find in a tin foil wrap and cook it. I decided to do same and as it turned out, this was pretty good!

BBQ Chicken in foil

- Baby potatoes (any potatoes will do, I only had few baby potatoes left)
- Onions
- Chicken breast
- BBQ sauce (I used honey garlic)
- Salt and pepper



Thinly slice the potatoes and onions. Slice the chicken breast on small strips. On a sheet of foil, layer the potatoes and the onions. Put the chicken on top and add BBQ sauce. Neatly fold the foil so that there is no opening. Cook in the oven (or BBQ) for about 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees. Just be careful when you open the foil as a lot of steam will get out.

I need ideas

It is my husband birthday this week and I want to wow him with some great food.

I know he loves steak, but I'd like to do something different.

He likes:
- meat
- spicy food
- Guinness beer
- no sesame seeds

I need ideas!!! Any help?

I heart soup

I love soup, I think it’s the perfect dinner when you are not too hungry but want something. Paired with crackers spread with a creamy garlic-y cheese and I am in heaven.

I call the following vegetable soup my left-over-disposer. Basically, I use all my leftover and turn them into a hearty soup. How do I manage to have enough variety to make a soup? Pretty simple; every night where we have some vegetable left over, I dice them and put them into a freezer bag and freeze it. I do the same with little piece of meat as my husband like to have some beef or chicken in his soup.

Once I have enough little freezer bags, I put some chicken stock to boil with a small can of diced tomatoes. I season well with oregano and Italian spices (but you can use any herbs you like). Once it boils, I add the vegetables (still frozen), the meat (Still frozen) and some pasta. Let everything simmer for 30 minutes and enjoy a bowl of hearty soup.

For people that like vegetables cream soup, just do same but do not add meat or pasta. Once everything has simmered for a while, put everything in the blender until pureed. Put back in the pot, add some cream and voila!
