Sometimes all it takes is a few basic ingredients to create several great meals in the kitchen that you can use throughout the week. Today I'm bringing you a combination of simple roast chicken, flavorful bread and a few quick side dishes that you can assemble in different ways to make a salad, bowl or tortilla.

Difficulty simple
Ingredients
1. Roast chicken breast with herbs
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, rosemary and paprika, drizzle with olive oil and place in a preheated oven at 170 °C for 25-30 minutes.
You can put some of the meat right away - for example, in a salad with glazed carrots - and use the rest in a bowl, pasta or tortilla during the week.
2. Carrot-apple bread with gingerbread
In one bowl, mix:
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheese or yoghurt
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- grated carrot and apple
- 60 g oat flour
- 2 tablespoons of unground flakes
- 15 g ground almonds (or vanilla protein)
- gingerbread spices
- baking powder
- a little milk to soften
Pour the batter into the tin and bake at 170 °C for about 35-40 minutes.
The result is a beautifully moist, fragrant bread that lasts for days and is perfect for coffee or breakfast with peanut butter.
Tip: Do you have a ripe banana at home? Replace it with an apple. The bread will be sweeter and there is no need to add sugar.
3. Chickpeas on paprika with rice
In a frying pan, fry finely chopped shallots, add smoked paprika, a spoonful of tomato puree, chickpeas and passata. Pour in the stock, simmer for a while and finally soften with a little cream and a spoonful of delicatessen yeast.
Serve with rice and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Simple, quick and full of flavour.
4. Glazed carrots with honey
Mix carrots with miso paste, honey, oil, salt and pepper. Bake at 180 °C for about 25 minutes until nicely caramelised.
It is a great complement to chicken, Asian bowl or even a simple green salad. Today I added them to a bowl with spinach, leftover chickpeas, feta, chicken and tahini dressing - a perfect quick dinner. Sprinkle with cocoa and chill.
From these few basic ingredients you can put together several meals during the week:
- salad with chicken and glazed carrots
- chickpea bowl with vegetables and rice
- tortilla with roasted meat, spinach and tahini dressing
And the bread? You'll just love it with coffee or even for breakfast with yoghurt/cottage cheese, fruit and nut butter.
Tips and tricks
○ Quick chickpea serving: if you want to make the dish even creamier, stir in a spoonful of yoghurt or coconut cream at the end.
○ Zero waste tip: You can add leftover carrots and apples to smoothies or porridge.
