Has it come to 5 O’clock and you realise you haven’t organised anything for dinner? The fear of ravenous children is enough to scare any Mum to take away. I’ll share with you my life saver meal.
Every recipe has a story. My bridesmaid, cousin and friend Cherie is a fantastic cook. She is one of those Mums who have a garden, is self sufficient and cooks delicous homey food (and the best scones you will ever eat). She and her husband live on a small farm with their four girls. When I visit her beautiful farm I am always inspired by her cooking. This is her recipe.
Cherie’s Family Chicken Curry
2 tablespoons butter
1 BBQ chicken
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
4 cups of milk
2 teaspoons chicken stock powder
4 tablespoons plain flour
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
Parsley (optional)
Cook diced onion in butter until translucent. Break up BBQ chicken into strips and add to onion. Add corn and peas and stir for 3 minutes. In a bowl, add curry powder, flour, salt and chicken stock powder and mix with a little water to make a paste. Pour milk over chicken mixture and allow to boil. Add paste and stir until thick. Sprinkle parsley on top. Serve with rice, pasta or noodles.
How easy is that? All you need to do it pick up a BBQ chicken and the rest you should have in the pantry and freezer. This meal freezes well so make a big batch and stick it in the freezer for rainy day.

Love this recipe. Sounds like a fantastic one to have all the ingredients, bar the BBQ chicken on hand. Ta!
