This is a quick cheap easy meals for one using leftover roast chicken. When I do get my kids at the weekends I like to give them something good to eat and chicken is a favourite for all of them. There is always leftover chicken so I try to make interesting easy cheap dinner ideas. I have created a handy guide to the cheapest cut of chicken UK.
This is a super quick easy Chinese meal and all the flavour comes from the Black bean garlic sauce. I use the Lee Kum Kee brand and a jar of this sauce lasts for many dishes. The egg noodles are convenient when creating meals for one as they are packed in single portions and cook quickly as well.
