chicken myers?
Easy, quick and oddly loved by what seems like all blokes!
1. Chuck some broccoli florets in an oven dish
2. Cube and fry off a chicken breast and put into the dish
3. Top with a mixture of a tin of condensed soup (chicken, celery or mushroom), mayo and curry powder
4. Throw some grated cheese on top
5. Bake until cheese is bubbly
6. Serve with pretty much anything: rice, pasta, tatties, more veggies etc etc0 -
