Pesto chicken pasta salad

In a bowl: roughly chopped spinach and lettuce, chunks of cucumber, cooked pasta (spirals work well), white seedless grapes (if you have any), and cooked (boiled/grilled) chunks of chicken breast (pork also works). 
Pour over: 1 portion of Greek yogurt, 2 tbs of pesto (adjust if using "real" pesto), 2 or 3 TVs of lemon juice, salt, pepper, a few slugs of (omega 3) olive oil - all mixed together. 




Fajitas

Gently fry finely chopped onion and red pepper, remove when soft and onion is beginning to colour.
Fry finely sliced pork (or chicken or beef) tossed in a mixture of: garlic powder, cumin, paprika, cilantro, parsely, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt. 
Add the onions and peppers back to the pan and mix all together. 

Serve with rice ("plain" or "Mexican" - lime and cilantro), sour cream (or Greek yogurt or creme freche), small lettuce leaves (or tortillas) to wrap it up in, avocado or guacamole, and napkins.


Not quite KFC chicken : version 1

Strips of chicken breast coated with a mixture of: chickpea flour, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, dried coriander, paprika, salt, herbs de Provence, and a bit of dried oregano. 
Fried. 

They were delicious, and a bit crispy on the outside, but the coating was obviously too thin compared to KFC. Double dip? Make a batter not a dry coating? Hmm. Research will be done.
