Cook Something Different Challenge

So yesterday evening I cooked Jamie's chicken legs with sweet tomatoes - Jamie's Dinners, page 222 Everyone else loved it (one guest took away the recipe ); I quite liked it, but I have more exciting chicken recipes. It is a good way to use up the glut of HG tomatoes, though, and green toms work well :T

For pudding I adapted a Nigel Slater recipe for trifle, using items from the freezer. I broke HM muffins into cups, covered with HG plums stewed with a little suger. I topped this with HM custard and whipped cream. DD decoarted them with a Retro Feel :T They went down well, but I'm not a huge trifle fan, so won;t be repeated in a hurry.

I've never made a plum crumble before so this week it's James Martin's spicy plum crumble

Still thinking of a main meal one while making up meal plan. Trying to avoid going out so it's a bit tricky

The chicken As it was a last minute meal (we were snowed off from going out for a curry ) I served HM garlic bread that was leftover from our Christmas Eve party, which was in the freezer , baked potatoes and frozen peas and sweetcorn. Oooh, and a couple of very nice bottles of Rioja :beer:

Well I was going to try a chicken dish today but was up all night being sick for some reason, so the last thing on my mind just now is food.

However I've found a recipe in an old American cookery book (Joy Of Cooking) which is definitely on the cards a soon as I'm up to cooking and eating. The recipe is called Stuffed Chicken Breasts. I shall make some modifications. Instead of all that butter I shall be using olive oil.
