Why this works
A filling, protein-rich meal with a good serving of vegetables, but it is fairly energy-dense and likely higher in sodium and refined carbs because of the gravy mix and crispy rounds.
Lean protein from chicken. Chicken provides a substantial amount of complete protein, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety.
Vitamin C and antioxidants from peppers. Peppers add vitamin C and protective plant compounds, helping support immune function and iron absorption.
Fibre from peas and vegetables. Peas contribute fibre and some folate, which supports digestive health and helps blunt blood sugar spikes compared with a lower-vegetable meal.
Method
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the chicken until browned and cooked through.
- Add the peppers and peas, then stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
- Make the brown gravy mix according to the packet instructions, then pour it into the pan and stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables.
- Simmer for a couple of minutes until glossy and thickened.
- Serve immediately with the crispy rounds on the side.
