Last night's dinner: Chicken breast chopped up and thrown in the food processor along with 2 grated zucchinis, defrosted spinach and loads of garlic. Shape into meatballs and put in the fridge for 30 - 60 minutes to firm up a bit. Put them in the oven to bake. When almost done, pour over a bottle of low-fat bolognaise sauce and a can of chopped tomatoes. Garnish with lots of basil and low fat feta. Very simple and healthy, and also great for leftovers the next day! mmmm, will have to try this one! Yes, they're yummy although DH was a bit perplexed at the sight of green meatballs... But don't worry, they look a bit bizarre when raw but brown nicely when cooked.

I think I got it in hyper panda. it's not in all the supermarkets. ummmm which aisle? I think it was in the tomato sauce aisle, but not completely sure. It's called Yamama Grenadine Molasses and has green and yellow on it. If you find an arab worker in the supermarket, tell them it's "Diss-ser-a-meen" (i think - please correct me ladies if I'm wrong), and it's for fattoush.

Cube the chicken thighs and mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Marinate overnight, or for at least a couple of hours before cooking. When ready, skewer the chicken pieces and onion alternately onto the wooden skewers and place on a barbeque grill, or onto an electric griller. Cook for around 10-15 minutes.

I cook the same thing again and again and again. I've taken chicken out of the freezer so I'm looking for some ideas what to do with it. Any suggestions - has to be easy to make as I'm c**p at cooking and not have 101 different ingredients. Many thanks.
