Nicky’s Notes

A woman with long brown hair and a black top smiles at the camera, sitting indoors with a brick wall and some greenery in the background.

Wondering what to cook next week? I’ve picked out five delicious dinners to see you through Monday to Friday – with a mix of quick midweek meals, cosy comfort food and a Friday-night curry.

Plus, I’ve included air fryer chips as a bonus – which would make a great side for two or three of these dinners!

This garlic parmesan chicken in a luscious creamy sauce makes a real treat dinner. I love to serve it over mashed potatoes with buttery green beans or broccoli. It's also fantastic served with crispy sautéed potatoes, pasta or rice.
