Chicken & Spinach Fettuccine
Having a couple of jars of good quality pasta sauce in the pantry is a must if you have kids and busy weeknights. Feel free to make your Pasta Sauce from scratch however, I've learned to take a few clean eating shortcuts to keep me sane during the week - and cooking with pasta sauce in a jar is one of them.

Compliments of our friends at The Movement Menu
This is an easy recipe that requires very little skill, particularly if you are using store bought tortillas. It's just a case of making your chicken enchilada mix and then assembling your tortillas and baking. Easy! If you want to DIY the entire thing, then give my two ingredient tortilla recipe a go (it's AMAZING!)

Moroccan Chicken & Lentils with Dirty Couscous
I'm a big fan of food that can be cooked in one pot. It means less cleaning and usually a lot less time spent in the kitchen. Which means more time spent pottering in the garden or reading that book I've been planning to dig into since May. This Moroccan chicken dish ticks all of these boxes.
And the kids love it. And if you are super smart you will make a little bit extra to pop into tomorrows lunch boxes.
