    I find parmesan chicken is a nice simple but delicious recipie.

    ingredients:
    chicken/turkey fillets
    Parmesan cheese
    butter
    cream

    If you can soak the chicken fillets over night in milk, as it makes them very juicy after cooking.
    Heat oven to about 200 C. Then put the dish you intend to cook them in oven with a knob of butter. When butter is melted add the chicken breasts and sprinkle with lots of grated parmesan cheese. You can also add a little bit of cream to make a sauce to go with it. Check it after 20- 30 mins depending on your oven. Cut open one of the fillets to check if it's cooked properly

    Serve with rice or roast chipped potatoes.

    For potatoes, peel and chop into bite size pieces. Toss in olive oil with sea salt and black pepper. Cook in a hot oven for abolut 40mins. You can also add whole garlic cloves too for flavour.


    For a dessert maybe something fruit based? A nice one involves soft berries (raspberries or blackberries work best but I know they're not in season), lots of cream and meringue.

    Whip up the cream, crumble in the meringue, slightly squish the berries and stir whole lot together....it's delicious and quite light.

    I hope any of these help. :)

    Sounds like a good way to defrost chicken fillets too, I usually do it in water so they don't get that drying out happening on the surface.

    If you're making soup don't forget the melba toast! toast two pieces of sliced bread and then cut in half along the depth of the bread. Then rotate so that the now untoasted sides get toasted. Very nice with soft butter.

    And my mum used to make a great yoghurt dessert. I think it was just a small dish of yoghurt with 1/3 brown sugar on the top. It has to be left for a few hours for the brown sugar to dissolve properly. And then you can blowtorch the top to get a crust.

    I'm going to go shopping for that tomorrow.
