Got a pack of three decent sized chicken breast fillets on the weekend and used up 2 of them doing a curry last night.
So one left and cant decide what to do with it, something different and that will feed 2 of us.

Any idea's or recipies?

I'd throw them in the bin if you bought them at the weekend it's wednesday.

It may just be me that has a three day rule for raw meat in the fridge though.

3 day rule only if opened. So two more days to go. Supermarket stuff keeps forever if sealed.

Opened last night then sealed so it should be good.

Stir fry could be interesting, what else will I need?

Make up some slop in a placky bag, pop the chicken breast in then give it a good bashing before grilling it.
Slop may include some or all of: olive oil, lea & perrins (can't spell worcestershire sauce), salt, pepper, chilli flakes, lemon juice, whatever.

How about a nice griddled chicken with lemon, basil mayo ?

2 Chicken breasts, cut into about 1" strips..
Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Pepper flakes, salt and pepper - combine and coat chicken, leave to stand.

Make the mayo with Basil leaves, mayo and the rind and juice of a lemon, season and leave to stand in fridge.

Grab a cucumber and Carrot and juilenne really thinly, place into bowl and add juice of half another lemon. Again leave to stand in fridge.

Get your griddle pan nice and hot - cook the chicken for 3 mins each side.

Plate up some baby spinach leaves, top with Carrot/Cucumber and top with Chicken.

Serve with the lemon mayo. Its yummy lick

1) You said meat, not specifically chicken

2) Yes, poultry should be hung to be at its best.

The op said he bought three breasts, without further inquiry I thought he meant he got a pack of three to which I replied I would throw it out now. I presumed it had been open in the fridge since Saturday.

I'm sorry I didn't enquire further before giving him my advice, I should have checked if he had wrapped it up and put in full food hygene control measures.

If the op had enquired how best to keep his venison my advice may have been different.

sorry, but to say "3 days and it goes in the bin" is to me both ridiculous and wasteful.

Does that mean that if you have a piece of chicken that you have had for one day, but it is green and mouldy, that you would eat it? I doubt it. But taking the point the other way round, why throw out something that is perfectly good just because you have possessed it for an arbitrary amount of time.

It's your money, and your choice. But very odd.
