This article is part of our Healthy Food Blogging series - an irregular series of articles featuring your own healthy recipes and tips which we’ve tried ourselves.
Chicken breasts have become a staple of the “need something to make for dinner fast” kitchen. But that doesn’t mean it has to be cut into nuggets!
Chickenrecipes.wordpress.com is exactly what it says on the tin: chicken recipes for every day. I decided to try the Chicken Provencale posted last year: it seemed quick and easy and a light flavour for the start of spring.
The instructions were nice and clear and the main time hit was the chopping. I didn’t worry too much about slicing the chicken breasts - just cut them large chunks which looked fine once they were cooked. I used the recommendation of pasta on the side, although at the last minute I realised that the sauce from the chicken wasn’t really what I expected. I tossed the pasta in butter and parmesan and served it on the side rather than underneath worked a treat.
Everyone enjoyed it: this is definitely one to save.

Here at Endiet, we spend a lot of time looking for interesting new recipes to try out and it makes sense to share those with you. So, on an irregular basis, we’ll be posting some of those recipes and links to the food blogs where we found them.
If you have a recipe you think we should look at, or even run your own food blog that you’d like to see highlighted, feel free to drop a link in the comments section or email us at endiet@endiet.com and we’ll take a look.
Recipe Requirements:
- The recipe must be in a blog — professional sites get enough notice. We’re looking for real people making real food for real families.
- Must be available in full online, no registration required.
- Must not require extravagant cooking time. We don’t mind dishes that take longer if they can be prepared ahead but we’re talking weekday meals, not dinner party specials, here.
- Must not use specialist ingredients. That’s harder to define: what’s specialist in Birmingham may be common in Los Angeles and vice versa. However, if the recipe states that an item is easily available “at any good health food store” or “in your local asian specialist shop” then chances are it won’t be featured here.
- Must not use pre-processed produce. “Combine one packet of ready-made soup with sour cream and slather onto the frozen chicken nuggets” isn’t going to cut it. If it requires a name brand product as an ingredient, it’s probably not for us.
- Must use fresh, natural ingredients. Fruit. Vegetables. Meat fresh from the butcher. Chopped herbs, etc.

“Don’t drink alcohol. Take vitamins. Avoid eating eggs. We’ve heard these pieces of nutritional advice for years - but are they accurate?”
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and this article, the answer is “not necessarily”.
Among the nutrition myths are “eating eggs will raise your cholesterol level” and “eating carbohydrates makes you fat” - which is sure to cause some discussion!

What’s in season now?
As we head directly into Spring, it’s time to get the last of our winter roots and veg and start serving fresh green salads with radishes on the side. Right now is the time for fresh young spinach and watercress both of which make for a wonderfully delicate salad with just a touch vinegar and oil as dressing. Young spring onions and fresh green herbs are a wonderful addition, especially parsley and mint, all of which come into their own in late March. And you know when mint comes into season, spring lamb can’t be far off — perfect for cooking fast and serving pink.
