We all know that chicken is a great source of protein and is also low in fat.
For a while it tastes great as well, but then it starts to become a bit boring! There’s only so much chicken a person can eat! Unless of course you have the secret recipe!
I am pretty sure the Colonel was lying about his eleven secret herbs and spices. After a bit of trial and error we may have found his secret, and if you read and try the recipe below, you will agree that there’s no 11 herbs and spices in the KFC Chicken! The good news is you only need three common kitchen ingredients to get it pretty close and make that potentially boring chicken taste great again!
Before cooking your chicken breasts (500gm) in small strips or cubes, mix the following ingredients and cover it generously:
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
1 Teaspoon ground black pepper
100ml Light Soy Sauce
Then cook (shallow fry) in 150ml Olive or Peanut Oil
Of course if you want to got for the ‘Hot and Spicy’ mix simply add some chilli powder.
Tastes great served with a side of vegetables, we usually go for Cauliflower or Broccoli.
Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Here is the latest in my series of quick, tasty, easy and nutritious blender treats.
All you will need today is:
200ml water (or chilled green tea)
1/2 cup blueberries (frozen is my choice)
1/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup banana protein powder
First up put the cashews and the water/green tea into a blender and give it up to 60 seconds of blend time. You don’t really want any chunks of cashew in your drink so it’s best to do a little more if you are unsure. Once you have given that a god thrashing, throw in the blueberries and protein powder and blend until its all mixed, but nice and thick as well.
Should take you all of two minutes to make, drink and clean up. No more “I don’t have time to eat well excuses” my friend!
You can never eat too many blueberries. Well maybe you can, but I don’t think anyone has yet.
But you can eat too much cheesecake. And I’m sure plenty of people have!
So what’s the alternative? I want to have my cake and eat it too!!
Enter the Blueberry Cheesecake Pudding courtesy of Allie from Pimp My Protein Shake.
It’s blueberry, it’s cheesecake (minus the fattening crumbled biscuit base), it delicious and it’s good for you. What more could you want?
Here’s what you’ll need:
1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese
1/4 cup vanilla whey powder
1/2 cup blueberries (frozen works best for thickness and cost)
1 oz. lowfat cream cheese
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (depending on your protein powder)
Allie has an order of adding the ingredients and blending, but true to my style of keeping it simple, I like to chuck it all in the food processor and just blend it until it’s all mixed together. Choose your own path here!
It will only need a few hits of about 30 seconds in the food processor, checking that its all mixed in and you don’t have pockets of ingredients that haven’t joined the party.
If you want to thicken it a bit more, throw it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes while you clean up and it will be perfect.
Depending on the actual ingredients you use, you will be getting about 35 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat and 12 grams of carbs.
