Chicken pie

1 today puff pastry roll , makes 6 huge pies

three chicken breasts no skin no bone :) , cut them in bite size pieces , and it makes it easier to fry .

one and a half teaspoon Ina Paar-man's lemon and Rosemary herbs
salt and pepper to taste
half teaspoon cake flour
garlic chopped one teaspoon
Ina Paar-man's beef stock , one teaspoon
one large carrot sliced in circles
table spoon olive oil
two smallish  potato cut in small blocks
one large onion cut in small blocks
one teaspoon paprika
one teaspoon beef spice
half cup water
quarter cup of milk to brush the pies before they go into the oven 

Roll out the dough , take biggish tea saucer and cut out pastry

fry onion and small blocks of potato and carrots that is thinly sliced and fry in olive oil 

after you have cut the chicken in bite-size pieces fry along with the carrots and onions adding  pepper and spices

add then the paprika, the paprika makes the chicken meat a nice rich color and the pie is not so dull then

fry till nice and golden and veggies and onions are nice and brown

I added a bit of pink salt as it is much nicer and tastier , and healthier

beef stock with chicken is so delicious , trust me with the rosemary and lime spice it compliments the chicken , add the water after that

look how yummylicious this look

the glass bowl has been rubbed with butter , dish up some in the one half of the circle of dough and then close

take a fork and press down so that the filling does not bake out , remember to make a whole with a knife on the top for steam to escape . brush milk all over the top to make it nice and brown and it wont bake to dry .

bake until nice and golden and ready to eat , husband said it was very very tasty , I made him a green salad with tomato with it .

chicken tikka pizza

 This is my own recipe that I thought out , You have to take two chicken breasts , take all the bones and skin off and then you have to make a special sauce and marinade the breasts in it for a while .
Two chicken breasts
bag of tomato puree
two teaspoons of garlic
one teaspoon of paprika paste
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
two spoons of Worcester sauce
one teaspoon normal curry powder
one teaspoon of gar-am salaam < my own special mix of spices and curry , with bay leaves , turmeric, cinnamon and five spice etc
half  teaspoon of brown sugar 
half spoon dry paprika , I also used Robertson wet paprika a teaspoon of that
mix all together and underneath this photo shows how dark the   chicken becomes and you will not believe it when you fry it , the chicken still stay most inside , and so tasty !

After it is cooked and cooled off a bit , take the kitchen scissors and cut chicken into strips

place the chicken on-top of the tomato pureed pizza base and then rings of sweet peppers and then rings of sweet bell peppers ,cut three cherry tomato's for the top , 180 degrees,  put in oven for 15 to 20 minutes and it is ready to eat, my husband said it was very yummy :)

Omelettes for dinner This

This omelette I made for husband with stuffed veggies like mushroom yellow and red sweet pepper , fresh baby spinach , tomato and stuffed ollives and two kinds of cheese , one was cheddar and the other was a non fat one Edam cheese which is healthy for diabetics too , this is so healthy and wholesome due to the fact that he gets to eat a lot of veggies and it is tasty too :)

This omelette was with zucchini and sweet peppers and beans and mangetouts, carrot  and husband  loved it , I did not use a lot of cheese with this one :) it was only two eggs that made this huge omelette, the secret is to take one half shell and add a bit of water to the egg mix it makes it fluffy and light :) remember pinch of salt and white pepper :) 

Very easy healthy dish this , butternut just like that in a glassbowl, nothing on it gladwrap over the bowl, pinch small hole in and cook in the microwave on high ,no salt no sugar no water , it is totally delicious and healthy , the boiled potatoes that was infused with a bit of olive oil and lemon juice and then fresh parsley , lots of it , the one teaspoon of olive oil and fresh two pieces of garlic in a luke warm pan, roll potatoes in it , then make mince balls with onion and tomato with lean mince and you have a stunning easy peasy dinner :)
