Recipe Ideas - Chicken or Pork

JulieGeorgiana

I'm looking for a cheap recipe idea to add to my meal planner. Preferably with chicken, but pork is ok, and can be served with rice.

We already make curry a few times a month, so I'm looking for something different

I know I can make stew, but it's getting a bit boring!

Any ideas?

How about a chicken pilaf?

Definitely an idea, it's more of a leftover rubber chicken idea

I'm looking for meals to feed a family of 5 for two days though.

But I'm adding this to my collection

Thank you x

What about chicken or even pork chop suey with some egg fried rice ....Bean sprouts are pretty cheap to buy . You can throw in any odd bits and pieces from your fridge , peppers , tomatoes , onion etc . Perhaps add some sweet and sour sauce as well . A fairly cheap , quick and easy meal .

Pork mince stir fry with onions, noodles, soy sauce (sweetened if you'd like a sweet soy dressing, and with chilli if you fancy a kick ), along with any other veg you fancy adding (broccoli, peppers or mange tout work very well IMHO)

Pulled pork goes a long way, especially in fajitas as you can bulk with peppers, mushrooms. Best cooked in a slow cooker.

Daveyjp do you have a pulled pork recipe? I don't even know what cut that it. My family are a little crazy about pork shoulder, so I end up roasting one when they're cheap

Chicken jambalaya. OH's favourite!
And goes a long way too.

A pork or chicken Philippine adobo I preferred the chicken to the pork( I used boneless pork thus overcooking the meat that is where I think my problem came from, chicken pieces, thighs, drumsticks etc where much nicer) when I made it. It was delicious for next to no cooking effort and basic ingredients, I will definitely make it again. How to video below.

Adobo (Filipino: "marinade," "sauce" or "seasoning") is the name of a popular dish and cooking process in Philippine cuisine that involves meat, seafood, or vegetables marinated in a sauce of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade. It has sometimes been considered as the unofficial national dish of the Philippines

There's also this pork shoulder recipe I was looking at but haven't made yet due to no cooker.

EDIT: I forgot to add, for the adobo I used skinless pieces
