Julie's family favourites

This month Julie Goodwin shares a chicken pie potato bake mash up! It's creamy and cheesy, can be prepped ahead and is a great dish to have up your sleeve in the freezer.

This meal is the result of combining all my boys' favourite things into one hearty winter dish. They love chicken, they are mad for pie, and what could make those two things better than to top it off with another family favourite - potato bake! As with most of my recipes, this lends itself very well to being served to the table in the pan for everyone to help themselves.

"Combining my boys' love of chicken and pie, and topping it with potato, makes this hearty dish a favourite at our place."
