Now this is also a weekly meal. I am making this on the weekend for sure. It tastes so incredibly creamy and cheesy, you just don't want to stop. This is a pretty flexible recipe and you can add anything that you want with it. We usually have cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles with ours, but you can have a salad or if you are going the less healthy route, add some cooked pasta in there and you have a perfect bake for dinner. I usually make a big batch and have it for lunch or dinner the next day, but this can also be frozen as a ready cooked meal. So, lets get to the recipe:
Ingredients
500-800g Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Punnet Mushrooms
3 Tsp Garlic
1 Red Pepper
2-3 Jalapeno Chilies (Depending on how hot you like it)
2 Tubs Cream Cheese
2 Cups Grated Cheddar
2 Tsp Paprika
1 Tsp Basil
3 Tbsp Hot Sauce (optional)
Method:
- Cut the chicken into strips.
- In a bowl, add cream cheese, hot sauce, basil and paprika and stir until the cream cheese is soft.
- Once the cream cheese mixture is soft, add the chicken and coat the chicken in the cheese and add to a greased pyrex oven dish and spread.
- Chop mushrooms, jalapenos and pepper, add to the mix with the garlic and stir in.
5.Cover the dish with the grated cheddar, cover with tin foil and put in a pre heated oven at 180 degrees celsius for 30 minutes. - Remove from the over, remove the foil and put the dish back into the oven for 10 minutes so that the cheese can brown.
- Once cooked, let it stand for a few minutes and then serve.
This promises to be a healthy dish that is packed with flavour and you can go to bed with a guilt free conscience!
Have fun making this and send us some photo's of your version.
