So I'm fine and the bubs is fine and there's only six weeks left to go before I pop. Yikes. I'm giddy beyond belief and utterly petrified at the same time. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in over 3 months now and although I realise that a newborn isn't exactly going to improve this situation it has to be nicer to be woken up several times in the night because you're needed rather than just in agony with dodgy hips! Or at least I'm hoping so. It feels a bit like having a really long birthday when you're preggers as every time I see somebody they want to hand me a present. Excellent :) I've been given so many gorgeous gorgeous things it's bloody lovely! There's a minute pair of lemon fluffy socks that make me cry every single time I look at them so I think it's a cert that I've completely lost my mind at this stage. I wonder if I'll ever get my old brain back or if I'm doolally tap for good now. Probably the latter...
Anyhoo, to business - here's another super recipe that I love and I'm sure you will too. It doesn't look up to much on paper but believe me when I tell you that it's delicious and something a little different to all the zillions of other chicken dishes out there. It wouldn't win any beauty contests though so I wouldn't advice it for an uber posh dinner party but it makes a cracking cozy dinner for you and that lucky bugger you cook for ;)
NOT YOUR RUN-OF-THE-MILL CHICKEN
Serves 2
2 chicken breasts
1tbsp honey
1tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp mustard
3 slices of bacon
Olive oil
1/2 onion
2 handfuls of mushrooms
1 cup of cheddar cheese
Rub the chicken with salt and pop it in the fridge for 20 minutes. Slice the bacon down the centre and grill it. Mix the honey, mayonnaise and mustard together to make a sauce. Heat the oil in a saucepan, slice the onion and fry until golden. Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook until browned. Place the chicken in a ovenproof dish along with the onions. Pour the sauce over each breast then place the bacon on top. Scatter the chopped uncooked mushrooms over the dish then top with the cheese. Place in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve either with white rice or a baked potato smothered in butter. Yummy!
