In this blog I plan to share with you from time to time what I made for dinner. Sometimes I have those days where I just can’t decide what to make, and wish I could go somewhere that would give me an idea. So maybe I will inspire someone who is wondering what to make. My meals are usually very simple and easy – time is not always on my side so they need to be. But I have found that since I have started being the cook in the home every day I am really enjoying cooking more and more and nothing makes me happier than when my family enjoys my food.
Mondays I usually do Meatless Monday, unless I forget or there is something in the freezer or fridge that is handier than having to go to the shops. Today was not meatless, but we will do a meatless day another day later in the week to make up for it.
What we had for dinner tonight is an old recipe that my mom and my ouma always made – quick, easy and scrumptious. Chicken in a brown onion, mayo and chutney sauce; served with rice and veggies. I use chicken thighs (skinless of course) as I always find they are so tasty and really take in the flavours of whatever is being made so much better than the other pieces. I make up a sauce of 1 cup brown onion soup (I just use a third of a packet mixed with a cup of boiling water), and 1/2 cup each of mayo and chutney. Pour over your chicken pieces in an ovenproof dish and pop in the oven for about 45 minutes. Easy huh?
Hope your Monday treated you well, wherever you may be xxx
