How to Do a British Sunday Roast the Healthy Way
So, last Sunday, I was about to do my usual roast dinner, including roast chicken, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, cranberry sauce, peas and gravy...but, it's summer, and summer is the time to have lovely, delicious and refreshing light clean recipes that are just so yum! I have also decided that I need to lose a couple more pounds so I didn't fancy a highly calorific and heavy roast dinner. I'm really into clean eating at the moment too, so now was the time to try something new...
I therefore came up with an alternative - still have my roast chicken, but to accompany it, I would have a delish orange salad (because as we all know, oranges go so well with chicken) and some Charlotte potatoes. So, I tried it out and filmed it, and to my astonishment, it was probably the nicest meal I've had in a long time.
I therefore thought I'd share the process with you here:-
Ingredients
1 whole chicken, sprinkling of salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken (absolutely no need to add any oil or fats), 300g of boiled Charlotte potatoes (or new potatoes), 1 orange, 3 pieces of gem lettuce, 1 large mushroom, 1 organic red onion, a third of a cucumber, 1 carrot, a few bits of cress.
This recipe is for one person, so obviously if you are cooking for two or more, you would need to double the quantities etc. (By the way, I didn't eat a whole chicken, I kept the leftovers in the fridge to have during the week ;-P).
Now, I did feel that there is no need for any oil or salad dressing on the salad, because the burst of delicious orange juice from the orange segments when you bite in is enough. Also, if you have a bit of chicken and a bit of orange on the same forkful/mouthful, you can really feel the wonderful flavour combination.
