With a couple of packets of chicken pieces and a little forward planning, you\u2019ll have a week of easy meals with flavours from around the world.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Chicken every night of the week. Ho-hum. Nope … not when you can hop from the tastes of the Greek islands to flavours of India, to a hit of Argentinian deliciousness. Without, we hasten to add, too much time spent in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

All it takes is a little pre-prep to put together these freezer-friendly marinated chicken pieces. If you\u2019ve got all the ingredients at hand, it\u2019ll take you an hour, tops, to put these together.<\/p>\n

We fancy breasts, but thighs work just as well – in both cases choose skinless and boneless chicken pieces.<\/p>\n

For these recipes, we\u2019ve used 1kg chicken – enough to feed a family of three to four. For the marinades – mix all ingredients together in a bowl, then add your chicken and massage in, pop into a freezer bag, label, and freeze until required.<\/p>\n

Defrost a packet and then all you need do is bake, pan fry, or airfry, and add a suitable side – think Greek salad and pita breads or lemon roast potatoes for the Greek-flavoured chicken, rice works well with most, and noodles with the Asian dish.<\/p>\n

Flavours of Greece<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup olive oil; 3 large garlic cloves (minced or finely chopped), 1 Tbsp dried oregano, sea salt and black pepper to taste, juice of one lemon, 1 cup plain full cream yoghurt (Greek if you can get it), half a cup roughly chopped fresh parsley.<\/p>\n

A taste of Indian curry yoghurt <\/strong><\/p>\n

Half a cup full cream plain yoghurt or coconut yoghurt; 4 Tbsp lime juice, 2 tsp brown sugar; 2 Tbsp mild curry powder (or hot curry powder if you prefer); sea salt,<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cosmetology. Sea salt with body oil and honey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Asian flavour ginger soy<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup soy sauce; 3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar; 2 tsp toasted sesame oil; 3 Tbsp honey; quarter cup brown sugar, 1 chunk fresh ginger, thinly sliced, 3 cloves minced or finely chopped garlic cloves, 3 or 4 spring onions, roughly chopped; optional 1 chopped jalape\u00f1o<\/p>\n

A hit of Argentina with Chimichurri marinade <\/strong><\/p>\n

Half a cup olive oil, 2 Tbsp red or white wine vinegar, 3 or 4 garlic cloves (minced or finely chopped), 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp crushed red pepper or chilli flakes, sea salt to taste, 1 cup roughly chopped flat leaf parsley<\/p>\n

\"\"
pineapple and coconut cut in half on a table on a black background<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Island style pineapple and coconut marinade<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 cup coconut milk; half cup pineapple juice; quarter cup lime juice; 2 cloves finely minced garlic; 1 to 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes; quarter cup brown sugar; 2 Tbsp soy sauce; chunk of fresh ginger, finely grated<\/p>\n

Hola Mexico <\/strong><\/p>\n

Third cup olive oil; quarter cup lime juice (you\u2019ll need about 3 limes); 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes; 2 tsp ground cumin; sea salt; half a cup roughly chopped coriander.<\/p>\n

Flavours of Spain<\/strong><\/p>\n

Half a cup each olive oil and red wine vinegar; one cup each large pitted prunes and green pitted olives, quarter cup capers, 4 bay leaves, 6 cloves finely crushed garlic, 3 Tbsp dried oregano, sea salt and black pepper<\/p>\n

The benefits of eating chicken …<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicken is a lean protein, and a great source of amino acids – used to build muscle tissue, so it helps build stronger muscles, healthier bones and decreases your risk of osteoporosis.
\nBecause it is a lean protein, it\u2019s excellent for those wanting to manage their weight, which lessens health problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease. A boneless, skinless chicken breast contains 26g of protein but just 120 calories and two grams of fat.
\nIt\u2019s crammed with Vitamin B12, Zinc, Iron and Copper.<\/p>\n
