Healthier chicken balti

Put the chicken in a medium bowl. Mix in the lime juice, paprika, chilli powder and a grinding of black pepper (step 1), then leave to marinate for at least 15 mins, preferably a bit longer.

Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick wok or sauté pan. Tip in the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, whole chilli and cumin seeds, and stir-fry briefly just to colour and release their fragrance (step 2). Stir in the onion, garlic and ginger and fry over a medium-high heat for 3-4 mins until the onion starts to turn brown. Add the remaining oil, then drop in the chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 mins or until it no longer looks raw. Mix the turmeric, cumin, ground coriander and garam masala together. Tip into the pan, lower the heat to medium and cook for 2 mins (step 3). Pour in the passata and 150ml water, then drop in the chunks of pepper. When starting to bubble, lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 mins or until the chicken is tender.

Stir in the tomato, simmer for 2-3 mins, then add the spinach and turn it over in the pan to just wilt. Season with a little salt. If you want to thin down the sauce, splash in a little more water. Remove the cinnamon stick, chilli and cardamom pods, if you wish, before serving. Scatter with fresh coriander and serve with warm chapatis or basmati rice, if you like.

Here's what you need: spaghetti squash, oil, salt, black pepper, boneless, skinless chicken thighs, green beans, basil pesto, cherry tomatoes

Pesto Chicken Spaghetti Squash Recipe by Tasty

spaghetti squash

salt,

black pepper

boneless, skinless chicken thighs

½ lb green beans,

basil pesto

cherry tomatoes, halved

Using a fork, pierce holes along one side of the spaghetti squash.

Microwave the squash for 5 minutes to make it easier to cut open.

Using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a spoon.

Transfer the squash to a roasting pan and drizzle with oil. Season the flesh with salt and pepper, and flip the squash so that the cavity faces down on the pan.

Bake for 40 minutes until the squash is easily pierced with a knife.

Once out of the oven, use a fork to pull the threads out of the spaghetti squash.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in a large, nonstick skillet. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and sear them on each side for about 4 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into cubes.

Toss the green beans into the pan and sauté until they’ve started to soften.

Add in the spaghetti squash, pesto, and chicken, and toss until well combined.

After the mixture is heated through, toss in the cherry tomatoes and give the pan one last toss to help everything come together.

Turn the heat down to medium and add the garlic, stir for 30 seconds (no longer or the garlic may burn), then add in the white wine.

Honey mustard trout with quinoa, roasted vegetables and feta. Trout is so underrated! It's delicious and easy to cook. This would make a delicious dinner, or meal-prep lunch.

Honey Mustard Trout with Quinoa, Roasted Vegetables and Feta

potato

courgette (zucchini)

olive oil

garlic

(180 grams) dried quinoa

stock

red bell pepper (chopped)

green bell pepper (chopped)

(30 grams) baby spinach

(30 grams) rocket leaves (arugula)

onion

cherry tomatoes

(125 grams) cooked and shelled edamame beans

(55 grams) feta cheese, crumbled

onions

trout

tbsp wholegrain mustard

tbsp honey

tsp black pepper

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F and boil some water for your quinoa (about 400ml (1 3/4 cups) should be enough).&nbsp;&nbsp;

Place the sweet potato and courgette (zucchini) onto a large baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil.  Sprinkle on the cumin, paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper and toss everything together.&nbsp;

Place in the oven for 15 mins.&nbsp;

Once the water is boiling for your quinoa, add the stock cube/bouillon and the quinoa.&nbsp; Give it a stir, then put the lid on and leave to cook on a very gentle heat for 20 minutes. Then turn off the heat.

After the vegetables have been in the oven for 15 minutes, remove from the oven, sprinkle the chopped garlic on and toss everything together again to coat in the garlic.

Move the vegetables to one side of the tray, and lay the trout fillets on the same tray, skin side down.

Mix together the oil, mustard, honey, salt and pepper and spoon over the trout fillets. Place the tray back in the oven for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the trout flakes when you press it with a fork.

Drain the quinoa if required, and stir in the&nbsp;chopped red and green peppers.&nbsp;

Divide the quinoa between four bowls. Add the roasted veg (drizzling on any oil from the baking tray), spinach, rocket (arugula), red onion, tomatoes and edamame beans.  Sprinkle on the feta cheese and top with the roasted trout. Scatter on the strips of spring onion (scallions) and serve.
