Introduction

This recipe was given to me by my amazing Gran, handwritten on a sheet of lined paper and is now amongst my most cherished possessions.

Gran had to feed a large family on a budget so simple, healthy and filling recipes were her mainstay.

My closest friend and I live in different states and like to cook together each week and this recipe was one that had us both raising our eyebrows. It just seemed too easy to be good.

Who were we to doubt Gran? It’s so comforting, so simple to throw together and seriously budget friendly.

You can stretch it as far as you need to with extra vegetables and any cut of chicken will work.

Gran used cream in hers but I’ve swapped it for light evaporated milk. You do you.

Go on, try it for yourself and see why she was my hero.
