St Patrick’s Day chicken & pepper whirls
I’m always looking for recipes that I can use on our fasting days for the 5:2 diet. Here’s a really easy one I adapted myself and worked out calories for. To push the calories further down so you can have another meal add more veg e.g., green beans or sugarsnap peas, and less pasta. And why is it a St Patrick’s Day recipe? Check out the colours – green & orange peppers and white chicken & pasta!
