What are the ideal sides for this quick, easy and cheesy number? Let us know in the comments, and get the recipe below 👇
Air fryer hunter's chicken
SERVES 2
PREP 5 mins
COOK 35 mins
EASY
Ingredients:
2 small skinless chicken breasts or 1 large cut in half lengthways
4-6 rashers smoked streaky bacon
3 tbsp thick barbecue sauce
40g cheddar, grated
seasonal veg, potato wedges and ketchup, to serve
Method:
1 Heat the air fryer to 190C. Wrap the chicken breasts in the bacon rashers widthways. Or, if the chicken breasts are very thick, cook in the air fryer for 10 mins first, then cook the bacon-wrapped chicken for 15 mins.
2 Brush with barbecue sauce all over and scatter over the cheese (you may not need all of it). Cook in the air fryer for another 10 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with seasonal veg, potato wedges and ketchup on the side, if you like.

Brussels sprouts: love them or hate them?
We're firm lovers at Good Food HQ, which is why we want to rebrand this veggie as more than just a Christmas side. Roasting them brings out their sweetness, which pairs beautifully with butternut squash, nutty quinoa and creamy hummus. Better yet, this easy winter salad can be prepped ahead for a grab-and-go healthy lunch.

What do you have on your bread: butter or olive oil?
We're lathering on the butter with Ailsa's cheesy, herb-packed soda bread, which makes use of all those odds and ends lurking in the fridge.
Give it a try with the recipe below.
Leftover milk, herb & spring onion soda bread
SERVES 6-8
PREP 15 mins
COOK 40 mins
EASY
250ml leftover milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
300g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped
Large handful leftover soft herbs, finely chopped, we used parsley and coriander
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
100g leftover hard cheese, grated, we used red Leicester
1 Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Combine the milk and lemon juice in a jug and set it aside for 10 mins until the milk starts to curdle. Tip the flour into a bowl, and add the spring onions, herbs, bicarbonate of soda and grated cheese along with 1½ tsp salt. Pour the curdled milk into the bowl and using a wooden spoon, bring it together.
2 Lightly flour a clean worktop and tip the dough out. Knead lightly to just bring it together into a ball. Dust a baking tray with flour and add the dough. Slash a cross on top and bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when the bottom is tapped.
3 Serve the soda bread, still warm, cut into thick slices with some salted butter.
