I am not big on recipes as most of you have probably gathered by now if you have had a scour through any of my foodie posts... Nope, I am very much a "wing it" kind of gal. I like to experiment with ingredients and flavours, so apart from a few select "staple dishes" in my household, I seldom make anything in precisely the same manner more than once... So, on that note and on the menu tonight - we have... Chicken, Bacon & Basil Creamy Zoodles! I bought one pack of filleted chicken breasts and sliced them into strips about 1cm thick and one pack of bacon bits.

Get a deep pan (or pot if you don't have a deep pan) heated and ready with a nice healthy dollop of olive oil... Once the pan is ready to rock 'n roll, add the chicken strips. I season them lightly with a little bit of traditional chicken spice, salt, ground black pepper and a heaped teaspoon of chopped garlic. While the chicken is cooking I get the extras ready... those being one sweet red pepper and one green. I slice them into long strips as well. Roughly chop up the fresh basil. Once you have finished all the "chop chop chop", the chicken should be cooked through and you can add the chopped sweet peppers, chopped basil and the bacon... Give it all a good stir, stick on the lid and leave it on a medium heat for approx. 20 minutes and then you can add either your home made white sauce or packet substitute. (I am a homemade supporter lol) It’s a fantastically YUMMY dish and low carb too!
