I love cooking at the weekend, and especially a Sunday.  It gives you time to indulge a little more, and make things you just don’t have time for after work.  Sunday lunch this week was Roast Chicken, baked potatoes and veg followed by apple pie.  And very nice it was too.

For those of you who find the thought of doing a roast chicken a little daunting, M&S do a rotisserie-style chicken that is really wonderful.  Just follow the instructions and timings on the packaging, it never fails.

Even with two of us there is always lots of chicken left over (and remember you can freeze the carcass to make homemade stock) for the next day.  So what to do with it?  Well a couple of large dollops of mayonnaise, half a can of sweetcorn, a splash cider vinegar and fresh cracked pepper gave me a luscious amount of chicken mayonnaise.  Add it into a couple of toasted onion bagels and lunch is sorted for the next couple of days.

However I had a baked potato left over (always cook too much), so for tonight’s supper I halved the potato and scooped out some of the flesh and mixed this with some of the chicken mayo and packed back into the potato skins.  Top with some grated cheese and into the oven for 20 mins, add a crisp salad and voila supper is served.  Who says left-overs are dull?
