One pot chicken pie

This recipe is part of our Good Square Meal campaign in collaboration with FareShare, the UK’s biggest food waste charity, to fund the distribution of up to 250,000 meals to children who need them most.

As part of the campaign, we’ve collaborated with baby weaning expert Shikha Gill, founder of My Little Food Critic, to create healthy weaning recipes. 

This pie comes together in one pot, is packed with other veggies and can be made ahead of time for a quick and easy dinner. Delicious, warming and loaded with goodness.
