Perfect for: cooks trying to lose weight or wanting to whip up wholesome, affordable food for your family. I expected the coating of the chicken to be a bit of a faff but it really wasn’t and baking the chicken rather than frying it means the whole dish is a whole lot healthier than usual.

Chris recommends using stale bread so it’s a great way of using up old bread and minimising food waste, plus it gave our prawn toasts a good crunch without having to fry them so it was much healthier! His brand new book, Fakeaway is here to help you recreate healthier and cheaper versions of your favourite takeaway dishes at home but without any compromise on flavour and fun, from sweet and sour chicken to loaded nachos. This is a recipe i use lots mainly because its so easy and you can have it on the table in the time it takes the chips to cook. Due to dietary intolerances we don’t often get takeaway but now with this great book we can have all the meals we’ve been missing out on. If you do require precise ingredient information you should consult the manufacturer, whose contact details will appear on the packaging or label.You can use any flavour of chicken or even chicken leftover from Sunday lunch, add any sauce you like for me sweet chilli just works with so may flavours plus its favourite of mine. This recipe makes 4 portions and because there is just 2 of us i still have 2 portions left in the fridge patiently waiting for my second meal which will be spaghetti and meatballs – now don’t you just love the fact you have taken 10 minutes out to create meals for 2 days in the week!

During the cooler months i use a lot of kale either with “fakeaways” or with Sunday Dinner and i always get asked how i cook mine, so as we are heading back into the cooler months here is my “how to” video. You can make this recipe using duck breast or leg cooked in a pan, grill pan, or an electric grill or in the oven – once cooked shred it with 2 forks and follow the below recipe. Well done Mr Bavin and after reading the ‘Introduction’ and then the ‘Thank you’ at the end of the book - it makes it a more personable and relatable book for home life cooking. Chris’ version is really quick to make, it’s a case of using flavourful curry paste and turmeric to give the rice a rich spiciness and beautiful colour, with a healthy dose of green peppers, courgette and caramelized onions alongside.I’ve never attempted to cook biryani at home, I didn’t think I’d have the expertise or time to make one.
