This is one of my favourite chicken dishes as it is so quick and simple.
I remember my mother always used to cook a variation of this as a child using honey and mustard sauce, served with mashed potato and green vegetables.
This is perfect on a cold day as it really warms you up and is good hearty food! This recipe is high in many nutrients including but not limited to iron, niacin, selenium, vitamin A and vitamin b12.
If you are watching your calorie intake why not try swapping regular mash for a combination of carrot, parsnip and potato mash to reduce the calories and add extra nutrients to your mash!
