Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. This is a quickie and perfect for the middle of the week when time is at it's shortest and the kids are hungriest!

When I was raising the kidlets...middle of the week just got harder and harder unless I had a firm dinner plan in place. (Which I did usually!!) This would have been perfect. Add noodles, mash, rice and you have fed the hungry hoardes, filled those hollow legs and still managed to get something pretty healthy into them.

Fast forward to now...this will certainly do the distance for all of those reasons. Enjoy...mums and kids. Relax. You are doing a great job!
