CHICKEN WITH THYME/SAGE, CARROT MASH AND SAUTEED MASH.
Teamed with BEETROOT/WALNUT/FETA SALA
The chicken/carrot/leek recipe was from AWW / Diabetes Association’s The Diabetes cookbook.
Added this book to my growing pile of low cal/low everything books from a market stall last weekend.
Recipe says tarragon, but I substituted my home grown thyme and sage and it was magic.
Chicken/veg dish apparently 310 calories (if using 170g chicken per serve)
We paired it with a beetroot/feta/walnut salad from this link. I also added sliced radish from our garden.

330 calories. But that’s if you candy the walnuts; so omit that to save calories. I also used feta … anyway easy on the feta if you need to keep whole meal under 500 calories.
Perfect for a hot day with some sourdough or multigrain bread for an instant meal.
