5 Minute Meals - Chicken Tikka and Wholegrain Pilau Rice



Meal 1 in my experiment to find healthy, 5 minute meals for new mums.

Product(s):

  • Look What We Found - Staffordshire Chicken Tikka - Serves 1
  • Tilda - Wholegrain Pilau Rice - Serves 2


Nutritional Information:


  • Combined Fat - 28.2g - Medium
  • Combined Salt - 2.075g Medium
  • Combined Calories - 527
  • Does not include 1 of your 5 a day.

How long did it take to prepare/cook?:

  • Chicken Tikka - 2 minutes in microwave - 1 minute standing
  • Rice - 2 minutes in microwave
  • Total time - 4 minutes (as chicken is standing while rice is cooking) 

Conclusion:

Not the healthiest meal option due to lack of vegetables and high fat content in the sauce however fine not too often.  Extremely quick to prepare/cook and surprisingly tasty.  Chicken Tikka definitely feels like you are getting a higher quality product than an equivalent tinned meal as chicken is free range.  Already a long time fan of Tilda microwave rice and love that it is also available in (healthier) brown basmati options.  Good option if cooking for one.
