I'm really stuck on what I can make for us to eat tonight.

This is what I have.

Frozen

Chicken breasts
Bacon
Cubed steak
Mince
Fish
Mixed veg
Mushrooms
Peppers

Not Frozen

Milk
Marg
Flour plain I think
Onions
Rice
Pasta
Herbs
Chill powder
Cajun
Korma
Paprika
Tinned Toms - Yes I do have these
Tinned Kidney Beans

Does anything apart from spag bol jump out at anyone? * Goes off to look at the mega index*

Thank you for any help you can give me.

What about chicken supreme with rice? Defrost the chicken thoroughly (do you have time??), and chop and stir fry with the onion - add the chopped mushrooms nearer the end of the cooking time. make a white bechamel (roux) sauce, mix in the chicken and mushroom mix and herbs to taste and serve with cooked rice (and mixed veg?)

MonkeyGirl

Doesn't chicken take 6hrs to defrost...? Unless there is a quicker way as that sounds yummy.

Trow

I suppose you could try a fishy version - might work

mixed vegetable rice?

Fry off onion, add chopped mushrooms, chopped peppers, cook for about 2-3 mins, flavouring of choice (Cajun would be nice, ), rice, then add water, cook rice through, add frozen mixed veggies about five minutes before rice is cooked.

Or, if you have a microwave, defrost bacon. Fry off onion, add chopped bacon, peppers,mushrooms,mixed herbs, do you have a tin of tomatoes? Add if you do, no problem if not. Cook through for about 10 mins. Cook some pasta and add together.

vegetable curry? Plain rice plus veggies all fried off, add korma powder to veggies and tin of tomatoes and chilli powder. cook for about 10 mins.

I've defrosted chicken breasts in the microwave loads of times and I'm still here to tell the story. 4-5 mins at around 10-30% power should defrost it for you.
I imagine there is a reason why you shouldnt do it this way, but it hasn't killed me yet :rotfl:

Thank you everyone I'm now torn between several ideas so thank you so much you are a great help.

How do I make a white sauce if I was to go with this option? I don't have cornflour.

I didn't even notice Spag bol, chilli con carne jumped out at me.

Rikki

I make my white sauce all in one. Milk, marg and plain flour in the pan all together and heat gently whisking all the time.
