Spiced saffron chicken with prunes

Hormone-friendly- Saffron supports mood regulation and has been shown to be an amazing anti depressant, onions are rich in antioxidants, and prunes provide fibre for gut health, all key for hormonal balance.

Ingredients:
- 1 kg skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 red onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- A pinch of saffron threads
- 1/2 cup prunes, pitted
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

1. Season and Sear: Season 1 kg of skin-on chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin side down, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan.

2. Fry Onions: In the same pan, add 3 sliced red onions. Fry until they start to caramelize, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Paprika: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika over the onions, stir, and cook for another minute.

4. Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the pan. Pour in 1.5 cups of stock infused with a pinch of saffron (infuse saffron in 1/4 cup hot stock for 10 mins before adding).

5. Add Prunes: Scatter 1/2 cup of prunes around the chicken.

6. Simmer: Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens.

Leftover roast chicken ➜ 10-minute Vietnamese-style hormone-friendly lunch 🥗🔥

This is how I turn last night’s chicken into a freshbowl that actually keeps you full
protein ✅ colour ✅ healthy fats ✅ smart carbs ✅

Perfect for women\who are tired, wired and still need to feed everyone.

Vietnamese Chicken Salad (leftover roast chicken)
Serves 2

Salad:

1–1½ cups leftover roast chicken breast, shredded

2 cups finely shredded wombok (Chinese cabbage)

1 small carrot,grated

1,cucumber, thinly sliced into batons

½ red capsicum, finely sliced

2 spring onions, finely sliced

Small handful fresh mint leaves, chopped

Small handful fresh coriander leaves & soft stems, chopped

2–3 tbsp flaked almonds, lightly toasted if you want

Dressing:

2 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1½ tbsp fish sauce

Juice of 1/2 lime

1–2 tsp raw honey

½–1 small red chilli, finely chopped (or a pinch of chilli flakes)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp sesame oil

To make:

In a large bowl, add shredded wombok, carrot, cucumber, capsicum and spring onion.

Toss through shredded roast chicken, mint, coriander and most of the flaked almonds (save a few for the top).

In a small jar or bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until the honey is dissolved and it tastes balanced – salty, tangy, a little sweet and a bit spicy.

Pour dressing over the salad just before serving and toss well so everything is coated.

Top with remaining flaked almonds and a few extra herbs. Serve ❤️

Why it works (food-first hormones):

Chicken = protein to anchor blood sugar and keep you full.

Wombok + veg + herbs = fibre, colour and micronutrients for gut + hormones.

Olive oil, sesame oil & almonds = healthy fats to support nervous system and satisfaction.

A little honey + rice vinegar + lime = flavour + gentle carbs, not a sugar bomb.

Save this for your next “no time for lunch” day 💛
