Now we're cooking with chicken
Working closely with our friends at Waitoa chicken, we are hoping to take some of the stress out of meal planning during these tough times.
Chicken is a family favourite, and for good reason, it is great value, easy to cook and incredibly versatile. With everyone under pressure to cook
at home right now it can be daunting having to come up with new ideas every night, but we have some ideas to help.
In collaboration with our friends at Waitoa chicken we have created four sensational low-stress chicken recipes that you can whip up at home. Simple, delicious and satisfying – sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

Expert tips and tricks
Chicken goes well with lots of flavours but some of the best fresh herb pairings are: rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley, mint and coriander.
When using dried spices don't just stick with the tried and tested Italian flavours (although they work well) mix it up with some turmeric & cumin, Chinese five spice or, our personal favourite, smoked paprika.
A simple grilled chicken breast can be brought to life with the right sauce - try this mustard sauce or this roasted tomato sauce.
