A meal plan means there are no last minute dashes to the supermarket and also means no waste. A warming slow cooker chicken soup like this one is a fantastic freezer friendly option that can be made in bulk.

Roasted Chicken with Gravy Recipe

Roasted Chicken with Gravy

5 from 4 votes
This Roasted Chicken with Gravy recipe is so delicious that I probably make it once a fortnight! Chicken, potatoes and carrots are flavoured with lemon, herbs and garlic, then cooked together in the oven in one pan. The prep takes just 10 minutes of your time and the oven does the rest of the work. A gorgeous gravy is quickly and easily made at the end from the pan juices, chicken stock and flour, which takes the eating experience to the next level.

My Vietnamese Pork Bowl recipe is a favourite with the whole family and is on the table in less than 30 minutes. Bursting with flavours and textures, the dish features minced (ground) pork cooked in a caramelised sticky sauce along with noodles, spring rolls (from the freezer!), fresh veggies and herbs. A simple nuoc cham dressing is drizzled over at the end for the perfect finishing touch.

For a warming, homestyle chicken soup with the ultimate depth of flavour, this Slow-cooker Chicken Soup recipe features chicken, veggies and noodles cooked low and slow. Just 10 minutes of prep, then the slow-cooker does the rest of the work for you, blipping away for hours cooking the soup to perfection. If you don't have a slow-cooker, I've also included stovetop instructions.
