A few weeks ago I came up with this delicious recipe and it has been sitting patiently in my ‘creative notebook’ ever since (along with rather a lot of other recipes that I don’t seem to have been able to find the time to share!).

It is something that the whole family enjoyed together with no tweaks to enable me to eat it too. ย I served it with roast lemon and garlic cauliflower which was simply delicious. ย I will share that recipe another day!

Later this week I will be attending my first ever BritMum’s Live; a big blogging conference in London where I hope to pick up all kinds of tips and tricks and of course meet some of the lovely people who I correspond with on a daily basis via social media!! ย I also have a rather exciting meeting to attend which I hope will lead to something important for the Freefrom Fairy, and I shall be visiting my lovely big sis!

After cooking

Anyway, what it also means is that I won’t be posting anything later this week so you’ll have to pretend that this is my usual Friday post!!

If you fancy a night off from cooking over the weekend then try this recipe out. ย You won’t be disappointed, it is quick and easy and incredibly tasty and can be served in the dish you cook it in saving on washing up! ย The cooking time allows the flavours to mingle and the result is a meal that will taste like you have slaved over it when in reality you spent 5 minutes or so preparing it! ย It is also relatively cheap since it uses chicken legs. ย I use my favourite free range chicken legs from Creedy Carver…

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken legs in a dish not much larger than they are

    Please, I would like to know what you used for the dried mixed herbs.
    My daughter used to buy Mediterranean chicken as a prepared dish from a small special foods place but they’ve stopped carrying it so I thought Id try making it for her.

    This looks super delicious Vicky! My sort of dish. We have chicken so often in my household much more than red meat and I love casseroles.
    It was lovely meeting you and to catch up! xx

    Chicken done simply, in tomatoes & with other veg is one of my favourite meals! The cauliflower looks delicious too!

Vicki Montague, the Free From Fairy

Welcome!

Hi. I'm Vicki Montague, scientist and mum to 'Roo' (16) and 'Sunshine' (14). I'm a freelance recipe developer specialising in 'free from' food and spend many hours in my kitchen experimenting to create exciting healthy recipes that are all gluten-free & mainly dairy-free. In July 2016 I launched the world's first wholegrain, gluten-free and rice-free flour blends. In May 2018 I launched my first online programme to help people adapt to a gluten free life. I can be found at food festivals giving cookery demos and I love nothing more than teaching people how to cook and lead a positive wholesome life. Find out more about my story...
