Herb Salad and chicken roll up

Herb salad and chicken roll up



I had left over chicken which had been stripped from a chicken and I had frozen it last week.
O
Tonight for dinner I wanted something light. This was not a heavy dinner,  but I was more than full after wards,
The lovely fresh herbs with the little bit of balsamic really brought this to life.

Bunch of curly parsley
Bunch of Italian parsley
Bunch of coriander/cilantro
Red onion fine chopped
Cherry tomatoes chopped
1 teaspoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar
Cooked stripped chicken
Soft tortillas
Spray oil
Seasoning (I used salt seasoning)

Finely cut up all the herbs, onion and tomatoes. Add oil and vinegar and mix well
Heat the cooked chicken up in the pan with a little bit of spray oil and seasoning salt
Prepare tortillas
Then lay salad on top of tortillas and then add the chicken and roll up.

Mashed potato Salad and Simple Cod

Mashed potato salad

This was made by mistake….
I had cleaned, cubed and boiled some potatoes but noticed they had pretty much gone to mush….(we can only get one type of potato here it seems)
But I have no spare potatoes or anything to replace the part of a dinner…so Mashed potato salad was found.

6/7 potatoes washed and cut in cubes
½ cup mayo
1 tsp of milk
Chicken stock cube
I red onion chopped in to small pieces
Garlic herb seasoning (good shake)
Pepper (good shake)

Cook potatoes and add the chicken stock cube to the potatoes…cook until potatoes are breaking up.
In a bowl mix mayo and milk until mayo is smooth and creamy
Add season….drain potatoes and let cool for a few minutes.
Add the potatoes to the mayo mix….add the red onion and still everything in together.
It will start to look like mashed potatoes…

I severed when this was still warm.

Simple cod fillets

 4 Cod, boned and skinned filets
Butter ¼ cup
Ground sage,
Pepper,

Place cod in oven proof dish…(I lay foil on the bottom of mine)
Melt butter add the ground sage and pepper.
Brush cod with butter mix.
Make sure bother sides are cooked well

Bake in the oven at 350 / 180 °C for around 20 minutes…(that’s how long mine took to cook)
