After attending the
cooking demo hosted by F&N Seasons NutriSoy (read all about it HERE), I was
really excited to back into the kitchen again. After all, the session really
made me realise that sometimes it doesn't necessarily take a long time to
prepare a healthy nutritious breakfast. You just need to find the correct (ie: easiest)
recipe. At the cooking demo,
they shared with us 4 recipes. I have added the recipes here (shared on google
drive) for you to download. My favourite dish that day was the Grilled Chicken
wrap so that's what I have decided to prepare for my family.
The recipe for the grilled
chicken was as follows;
- Chicken breast strips
- Lea & Perrins sauce
- Steak spice
- Lemon Zest
- Oil
That’s it! Super duper easy right?
After adding the all the ingredients above, I mixed
everything and to ensure that it is mixed thoroughly, it is best to use your
hands!
I
marinated this overnight and the next morning, I just took them out and grilled
the chicken.
The best thing about this recipe is that you can make a
whole batch and freeze them in ziplock bags. Then as and when you want to cook
it, take it out of the freezer the night before to thaw and you can grill them
the next morning!
Do make sure that you are using a medium to low fire.
You don’t want to chicken to overcook as the flavours are enhanced when it is
juicy and tender. Once cooked, you just cut them up into strips and the
assembly begins.
I put some mayonaise first, then layer it with some
lettuce and put the chicken on top. The wrapping does take some practice as my
first attempt almost fell apart when picked up hehe.
I
also made some Sauted Mushroom and Onion to go on the side of my wrap.
Another
quick and easy recipe;
·
·
Mushrooms
·
Garlic
·
Onions
·
Lea & Perrins (I do love this sauce hehe)
·
Salt (to taste)
All
you have to do is:
- Brown the garlic
- Add the mushrooms (cook until tender)
- Add the onions
- Add a splash of Lea & Perrins and salt to taste
All in all, this was such a quick breakfast to prepare!
When you marinate the chicken the night before, the cooking time doesn’t take
that long. I think I took around half an hour to cook the chicken and the mushroom
and another 15 minutes to wrap them up.
Breakfast is SERVED! Bon apetit!
I even prepared three versions of the breakfast. One for
mummy, one for Appa to take to work and one in his special “Construction” plate
for Nazrin.
As
you can see, preparing a healthy and nutritious breakfast for your loved ones
doesn’t necessarily take a long time. More importantly, when it is served
together with a glass of F&N Seasons NutriSoy, you are providing for your
family the daily required intake of proteins (from the chicken and F&N
Seasons NutriSoy), wholegrains (from the wrap) and also vegetables (from the
lettuce).
The
proteins not only helps to build new tissues, it also has no cholesterol and
low in fat! It’s perfect for the kids as it has no added preservatives,
flavouring or colourings. F&N Seasons NutriSoy also comes with a less added
sugar option (blue carton) perfect for the family.
After preparing all this, apart from providing the best
nutrients for you family and also a full tummy, the best reward of it all is
watching you son eating his wrap (especially when he can be a picky eater at
times) and loving it!
