Mum’s “Chicken Lovely Legs”

Easy Chicken and Leek Pie
There’s something so comforting about a creamy chicken pie with golden, flaky pastry, and this Easy Chicken and Leek Pie delivers all that. A classic combination, the leeks bring a gentle, sweet onion flavor that pairs beautifully with tender chicken, while ready-made short crust pastry does the heavy lifting. It’s a family-friendly dinner that tastes as good as it looks – and you can assemble it the day before or have one in the freezer ready to go!

Chicken & Haloumi Salad
Even though it’s a salad, it’s substantial enough for your hungriest diners. Packed with protein (chicken, cheese, and nuts), sweet potato, and a healthy serving of greens, this salad ticks all the boxes as a balanced meal.
It’s a great mid-week meal – here I’ve used a purchased BBQ chicken as a quick hack for busy weeknights. But feel free to cook your own chicken or swap it for another protein.
