A friend of mine has been really down in the dumps lately so in an effort to cheer her up a bit I have offered to go round and cook her dinner one night. She makes me dinner every so often so its the least I can do.

The main stipulation is it needs to be chicken. She doesnt eat red meat and can be a little funny about other things too. Oh and there can be no tomatoes. We are both allergic to them!

So, what would be a nice chicken recipe to cook up? What can I do with it?

Cheers in advance

Chicken saltimbocca?

I like to serve with a Marsala reduction. Note Marsala, not masala!

She likes sausages but can be a bit fussy with general pork. I'm better off steering clear!

Piri piri? If either of you own a griddle then fire it up and finish in the oven if required.

Thought of a starter yet?

My chicken speciality is chicken souvlaki, it's greek (would more often be lamb but chicken is served all over and is gorgeous) so you can download some cheezy Zorba music to play while cooking it for extra cheese factor!

I serve mine on a bed of rice and vegetables with a greek salad on the side.

problem is guest sounds picky. Greek = heavy cinnamon and spicy would also be out too. Might be onto something with the homepride jar sauce!

You can't serve Asparagus if there is any chance of funny business.

It would have to be very funny business for that to be a problem surely?

biggrin... Does it really work through the system that quickly?

Must admit anything wrapped in Parma is always my way forward - looks 'cheffy' for minimal effort!

Yep it does. An hour after eating it will be present. Not my idea of fun!

Agree on the Parma ham - maybe shove some blue cheese in the middle too. Then serve with Broccoli.

surely asparagus not an issue unless the "funny business" in question includes a golden shower?

It's said to badly affect other fluid's too!

Pineapple juice is said to have a positive effect, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's just a rumor spread by the Man from Del Monte!
