Easy Chicken Pasta

This year I’ve made the Steggles pledge to #MakeTime for my loved ones by having more family meals together at the dining table!

We get so caught up in routine and it can be so chaotic in the evenings that we usually have three different mealtimes and eating areas – the girls eating on the high chairs in the kitchen while I prepare dinner for everyone else, the boys eating at their kids table, then @mrtwinsandablog and I eating on the couch once the kids have gone to bed!

Growing up, I remember eating at the table together with my family every night and it was a great way to connect and spend time as a family every day!

I made a @Steggles roast chicken in the morning, had a busy day then quickly put together the pasta ingredients in the afternoon so we could eat dinner together.

What do you pledge for this year? More time for mindfulness, more time for cooking at home, or more time for loved ones? #sp

Main Meal/ Non Thermomix

Cheat’s Chicken Curry Laksa

This is the ONLY Malaysian dish in my repertoire!! I’m Chinese/Malaysian born in Malaysia, and moved over to Australia when I was 3 (so I identify myself Australian), however will always come back to my heritage and culture! This is what I consider true comfort food! And my meat and 3 veg loving husband also loves this as this is soooo tasty!!!

This is the recipe that everyone in my family uses for our laksa hit! We have tried A LOT of different curry laksa pastes (including homemade) but the Osha Curry Laksa Paste wins hands down as THE BEST curry laksa paste!!! You can get them in 1 kg or 180 gram bottles – this recipe uses half a 180 gram bottle per batch. I haven’t seen this in Coles/Woolies but buy it from my local Chinese grocery shop. You can also get Chinese fish cakes/balls at your local Chinese grocery shop to add to the soup.

The storebought roast chicken is a trick my sister-in-law taught us, it adds a depth of flavour and the whole chicken is used! One x roast chicken actually gives me 2 x meals – I usually buy a roast chicken for a quick and easy lunch with salad and rolls, and the leftover bits of chicken and bones is then used in this laksa!

This is one of my few regularly cooked non-Thermomix dishes! I am all for the Thermomix if it makes things quicker and easier, however this is just so easy on the stovetop – why change a good thing, right?!!?

I love this for lunch or dinner, and it feeds a crowd!!! This is also great to freeze in portions if you want a quick heat up mid-week meal!

Ingredients
 
Place chicken bones, water and chicken stock in a large pot

 Bring to the boil, the reduce to low heat…

 
…and place pot lid on. Cook for a minimum 1 hour (the longer the better!)
When ready to serve, prepare noodles as per instructions on the packet. Place noodles in bowl with shredded roast chicken and (optional) bean sprouts/vegies

Pour the stock mixture through a sieve into a medium to large pot to catch the bones

 

 Place chicken stock back onto stove…

…and add coconut milk, Osha Curry Laksa Paste, and (optional) fish cakes/balls, and bring soup to the boil.

 

Serve over noodles and enjoy!
