Mid week menu

We've been eating soups and casseroles from the freezer - but tonight we're having peri-peri chicken breast with new potatoes and salad. You could use CAJUN spice or peri-peri, both are delicious. and always a favourite.
I bought a small chicken and removed the breast for tonight's meal. The remainder of the chicken went into the pressure cooker, covered with water and I added one grated carrot, onion and leek plus a few herbs and some garlic. I've already cooked this for around half an hour (in the pressure cooker) and the strained liquid and meaty bits will form the base of a soup.
I've also cooked the base of a cottage pie today, and I'll finish it off for tomorrow's dinner by topping with mashed potatoes. I love this easy meal, as we can go for a walk and come back to something warm and filling. Lunch tomorrow will either be a chicken soup of some sort or a salad.
