I often try and remind myself of how lucky we are to live in such a place as Northern Ireland. It is unique in so many ways and, remarkably, it is home to one of the world’s biggest outputs of chicken.

For me, chicken is one of those ingredients that is easy to work with for the home cook. This week’s first recipe is Chicken Nelson which I recently discovered in an old cookery book I picked up in an Oxfam shop many years ago – it certainly brought back memories of my early days in the Dunadry Inn.

I have then matched this with a second chicken recipe, Chicken Parmigiana. This is more of an international chicken dish and is sure to be enjoyed.
