The reason I have called this Lazy Mummy Chicken is that I used a packet of instant cous cous from the supermarket - you know - pour over some boiling water and it's done. And, yes, I know that that it is how normal cous cous is done but this way I get all the flavourings already added without even so much as chopping some mint leaves.
And I make no apologies at all. After all, looking after wee ones is hard work and I did debone the chicken thighs myself! So I fully deserved to have a cup of tea made for me afterwards while I put my feet up.
But, seriously, I got this recipe for minty yogurt chicken from This Is What I Eat and I am very grateful as it is a lovely little recipe. The boys ate it all up, it was quick and easy to put together and it was VERY tasty. What more could you want? (Apart from someone to make you a cup of tea while you put your feet up?)
I'm so glad you liked it. Looks like a delicious plate with the cous cous and asparagus.
ReplyDeleteMinty yogurt chicken sounds really, really yummy. Plus I love the instant couscous idea. I didn't even know there was a pre-seasoned, instant version!
ReplyDeleteNo harm in taking the easy route. Just sensible if you ask me. Looking after little ones is hard work. Minty chicken sounds good.
ReplyDeleteoh that sounds soooo good!! i use those cous cous packs sometimes...the often taste better than the couscous i make myself!! yum yum
ReplyDeleteThe chicken looks delicious... great with the couscous and asparagus.
ReplyDeleteI say, for the work you did in de-boning the chicken it clearly makes up for instant cous-cous. I mean, a mummy's got to do what a mummy's got to do!
ReplyDeleteLooks gorgeous to me. I'd be even lazier and use chicken breasts - no boning out to be done....
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. Oh, you're definitely going to have to link up with me. i think I'm going to do it monthly. I love the fact that you are England, too. Give us a new spin on some recipes.
ReplyDeleteAngela - yes, delicious - thanks!
ReplyDeleteKoci - I made a NIgella cous cous recipe tonight which was lovely and fairly quick to do so shouldn't really need to use the packets - sheer laziness!!!
Granny - well there is always plenty of mint in our garden if nothing else...
Victoria - They are good for simple meals. This actually worked very well.
Michael - thanks.
Lauren - Yip - thanks for backing me up!
C - but the thighs are so much tastier! But certainly worth doing the breasts for emergency speed! :-)
H-S - Not England, no no no no no. What a thing to say to a Scottish person!!!! ;-) hee hee - lot of rivalry between England and Scotland. Well, really just on the Scottish side - we have a chip on our shoulder about it!
Just sensible if you ask me. Looking after little ones is hard work. Minty chicken sounds good
