BBQ Chicken Salad | Recipe

This is such a simple meal but I've added some ingredients to it which really adds a lot of taste and gets rid of the dryness from the lettuce. 

Your going to need: 

Tomatoes

Lettuce/watercress/rocket salad

Cucumber 

Chicken 

Coleslaw 

Pepper 

BBQ Sauce:  

1 tablespoon of cider vinegar 

2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons dark brown soft sugar

1/4 teaspoon mustard/mustard powder

1/4 teaspoon salt 

1 clove garlic, minced

120g ketchup 

1 tablespoon chilli sauce

First of all I washed the watercress under the tap then drained it out, I then placed it on the plate chopped up some tomatoes and cucumber and mixed it in with the watercress. 

Time to make your BBQ sauce, grab a small saucepan keep the heat at medium and mix together the ketchup, sugar, mustard, garlic, chilli sauce, cider vinegar, worcestershire sauce and salt.

Then once it's heated up and all mixed together leave it to cool down. 

Next your going to need the chicken, chop it up into slices and once the BBQ sauce has cooled down brush it on the chicken. 

The next option is up to you depending on wether you want coleslaw and a BBQ sauce taste mixed together but I loved it mixed together, grab a tablespoon of coleslaw and mix it in with the salad already prepared on your plate this will get rid of any dryness in the salad.

After you've done that mix the BBQ chicken in with the salad. Lastly I covered it in pepper for extra spice and for a side dish I added some roast potatoes. 

Enjoy! 

My Day In Pictures

I Had such a lovely day out in Exeter yesterday, the weather wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, when I first left my house it was raining and so windy and my umbrella kept turning inside out but the weather soon calmed down and it was just cold.

I was meant to be going to the Lush store last Friday for their A/W new products launch but I couldnt make it, I was gutted! So instead they asked me to go in yesterday and they saved me a goody bag and showed me through the products! The products I got were amazing, I'm so greatful to be a part of their A/W launch! Anyway I will be showing you the products I received and talk more about these products on another blog post I have planned for you all.

We then went to the Chinese buffet (7 Wok) anyone who knows me that reads this will probably laugh as they know I literally only eat at 7 wok hahaha! It's a Chinese buffet right next to Exeter City centre, I will actually say this is my favourite restraunt, I've lost count of how many times I've eaten there and I never actually get bored of the food. The staff are always really friendly to. 

Before I went home we went and sat in a park/gardens for a while just to chill out, it was slightly cold but it was so pretty all the autumn leaves had fallen from the trees and you can just tell winters on it's way.

A/W OOTD

Winters finally here and I've got my big baggy jumpers at the ready. Sorry it's only going to be another short blog today as I only got home a hour ago and I'm pretty tired! I'm planning on going sleep after this and it's not even 10pm yet, I say that although I may get a little bit distracted by going on my phone in bed and spending the whole night on Instagram and twitter.

Jumper - Urban Outfitters 

Mom jeans - Vintage 

Trainers - Nike Roshe 

I know this outfit is a bit dull, hasn't got much colour to it but I literally just threw a jumper and jeans on and a pair of trainers as it was the cosiest option - it's been raining all day and has been so cold! I can actually say that winters nearly here but that's what I love about it all the comfy clothes and being warm that's what it's all about. I will make sure my next OOTD is all glamorous for you guys! 

HOW TO: make cheesy nachos

Your going to need: 

Tortilla chips/crisps

Cheese 

Tomatoes 

Low Fat Natural yoghurt 

Tomatoe purée (in a tube)

Thai sweet chilli sauce 

Salt & pepper 

Rocket Salad 

First of all place the tortilla chips In a bowl, I got about half a big bag of tortillas.

Now it's time to make your sauce, for this you will need your tomato purée,natural yoghurt, salt, pepper and Thai sweet chilli sauce 

Get a bowl and put about 4 table spoons of the yoghurt in there, then I did six squirts of tomatoe purée mixed In with the yoghurt you can do less or more depending on how much you want the sauce to taste like tomatoes. Then I put 2 table spoons of Thai sweet chilli sauce, again depending on how chilli you want it you can add more or less, it's all about getting the sauce right and how you want it to taste as this is very similar to a salsa sauce I think! Then add the salt and pepper, this defenitly completes the sauce it's a must have! 

Next grab an oven tray out of the cupboard and put the tortilla chips on the oven tray ( I'm not using foil as the tortillas stick to the foil so make sure you clean your oven tray before use ). 

Then I poured half of the sauce mix on to the tortillas. For cheese I have used cheese slices, I think they are creamier and taste a lot less sickly, but you can use any cheese you want! You then place the cheese on top I used four cheese slices. Next pour the remaining sauce you have left on top of the cheese. The reason why I've layered the sauce is to mix it all up so you can get the taste everywhere. 

I then got a tomato and cut it into slices and placed a few slices on top, before it goes in the oven it should look something abit like this: 

I then placed my tray in the oven on 150 degrees and left it in for 30 minutes! 

Once that's done place it on a plate, I put a tiny bit of rocket salad on the top and added some more salt and pepper.. It's now ready to serve!

Hope you enjoy..
