Sometimes it can be hard to get motivated to cook when your recipe has a very long ingredient list.
Worse still is when you get everything out only to realise that you’ve forgotten one vital ingredient.
So today we have three fail safe recipes that all require just three ingredients (excluding salt and pepper or some olive oil).
And the best part is you will most likely have the majority of the ingredients in the house already.
So get the frying pan heating up or the BBQ on – let’s cook some chicken!
