Here at Birds Eye, we try our best to promote healthy and nutritious recipes that make you feel as good as they taste. However, we all deserve a treat and a splurge sometimes – and a movie night with the family calls for just that. With our selection of tasty, eat-on-the-sofa, shareable food, you can recreate cinema nachos and lots more dishes within the comfort of your own home – and there’s still some nutritious recipe ideas. Simply add soft drinks (look out for some lower or no sugar options), a few DVDs and maybe a bean bag or two for the perfect family night in.
Cheesy Chicken Dippers with Nachos
Chicken Dipper Fajitas
Fajitas made easy with our Chicken Dipper Fajitas recipe – this will please even the fussiest of eaters. The beauty of fajitas is how simple and versatile they are – you can choose whichever vegetables, salad toppings and sauces you fancy. The chopped red onion and shredded lettuce ensure this recipe has plenty of crunch, while the fresh coriander, lemon and lime make it beautifully fragrant and delicious. If you’re cooking for some more adventurous eaters, you could add some fresh chilli or jalapenos for an added spice.
Pea Guacamole with Mexican Nachos
Chips and dip are a great crowd-pleaser and perfect for sharing with family and friends, especially in front of the TV. Our pea guacamole recipe is subtly sweet and sensationally seasoned, enriched with onion, garlic, cumin and mint, making a moreish and refreshing dip for your cheesy nachos. Plus, the guacamole part is full of nutrients – and adds some greenery.
Pizza is a classic movie meal – simple, deliciously tasty, easy to share and very versatile with toppings. So versatile, in fact, that we have placed Birds Eye Fish Fingers on top for a fish finger feast! We have fused together two tastes that were destined to be together.
This little dish is as simple as it sounds – Mini Birds Eye Potato Waffles stacked up, served with a selection of sauces. You can go classic and unfussy with ketchup or mayonnaise, or go a little fancier with salsa, guacamole, sour cream and chives, sweet chilli sauce… the list goes on.
Our Lime & Chilli Chicken Chargrills are delicious sweet and tangy, and the perfect base ingredient for a fantastic taco. Just throw in a few salad leaves, some tomato salsa and guacamole and you’re set for a delicious, filling snack in front of the TV. You could continue the slightly tropical taste here by adding chunks of mango or trying different types of salsa – it’s completely up to you.
A movie night feast! These dishes are all simple to make, easily shareable and low maintenance – meaning there’s no need for knives and forks. Did we mention delicious and moreish too? We’re sure even the fussiest of eaters will gobble these recipes up, but if you need to make some tweaks, you can always replace what we’ve suggested with other products in our range, such as from our Chicken Chargrills and Breaded & Battered Chicken ranges, or if you fancy something a little more indulgent you can always use products from our Inspirations range.
