Nothing beats a warm and satisfying chicken hotpot on a cold and wintery day! Packed full of vegetables, this is a complete meal in one.
A blustery cold day is instantly fixed with a bowl of this home cooked goodness. Pair it with the Parmesan Puff Pastry for an awesome pot pie, or mash or cauliflower mash for a Chicken Cottage Pie. You really can't go through winter without this comfort food. This recipe is one of my all time easy favourites to whip up with little fuss and all delish! The family will love it. You will love it more, 'cos it is so simple. This recipe is one of the faves from the Comforting Comfort Food classes that I run from time to time.
