Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

How to Batch

Cool the chicken within 2 hours of cooking, then divide the cooked recipe into individual servings and freeze immediately.

So easy and soooo tasty

Just ensure onion is cut ready and all other ingredients are set to go ready. Really easy receipe to follow!

Cube the chicken

I cube the chicken rather than leaving whole, I find it cooks quicker and the chicken is juicier and full of the peppercorn sauce flavours.

Best Peppercorn Chicken ever!

Experiment with your pepper to get the sauce just how you like it! This recipe also freezes really well. Don't always want chicken? Make up the sauce on its own and freeze in portions for future use with steak, chips etc

I doubled up the sauce but not the pepper!

Really lovely and creamy without the guilt. We love the sauce so we double up but we keep the pepper at the same level otherwise it can be a bit too peppery. Really lovely moist chicken, served mine with rice and green veg.

Best peppercorn receipe, hands down!

Batch cook the sauce and freeze for the likes of steak, pasta or fish
