Jamie's 15 Minute Meals Challenge #6

This is round one of the J.O. vs Jo 15 minutes smack down, I am testing Jamie Oliver's recipes for his new 15 minute meals book. If you are playing along, leave a comment with your blog post link or just talk us through it in the comments section.

Recipe #6 Golden Chicken pg 48

Sourcing the ingredients:

Everything was for the regular supermarket

Ready, steady, cook...

This was probably the easiest meal to date. I had to slice the potatoes by hand because I don't have a fancy gadget to do it for me, so I lost a bit of time there. Everything else came together really quickly and easily.

Verdict

J.O.'s time 15 minutes

Jo's time 18 minutes

Family opinion - Daddy Ebi - 9/10
                           Me - 9/10
                       Ebi-kun 8/10 (lost a point because of the leeks, one of the very few things he doesn't like)

I am sure I only lost time with the slicing of the potatoes, I can live with that!

Notes to self:

No extra notes to add this time. Not only was this recipe one of the easiest to put together it also required the least amount of washing up. What I have noticed that these meals can be thrown together really quickly but they generate a mountain of dirty pots, pans and dishes. In that respect, I am not convinced it saves you much time.

I would love to make this a community post so if you are joining please comment below, if you have landed here from a facebook group, I would love it if you could add your comments here rather than facebook so that everyone can read your feedback.
