During the holidays it’s sometimes hard to eat healthy. Everywhere you look there seems to be baked goods or comfort foods wanting to warm your tummy. This dish will satisfy all those needs and make you still feel good about yourself. Brimming with flavour, with easy on-hand ingredients, this bowl won't disappoint. Substitute ingredients to suit your tastes. Don't like mushrooms? Substitute with peppers!
Here are some time savers if you don’t want to do all the steps below. -Store bought chicken instead of poaching your own -Fry an egg instead of soft boiling -Chicken stock that is already flavoured (Thai versions, etc but these tend to have high sodium and sugar)
This is our go-to version which takes about 30-40 mins. Serves 4-6
