the dilemma
I’m on my own for the big day, so I won’t be cooking a whole turkey and all the trimmings. But, I still want to enjoy a special Christmas dinner.
the solution
There’s no reason to miss out on any of the classic Christmas flavours with this pie. It’s filled with chicken, sausage and cranberry sauce, plus veg sides, all cooked together on one tray.
Christmas may not look quite the same this year – there will be fewer festive trips, friends visiting and faces around the dinner table. But that’s not to say we shouldn’t still enjoy ourselves.
If you’re spending Christmas alone, take the opportunity to make the day all about you, and choose the food you love. My can’t-live-without-it dish is chicken pie, so that’s what I’ve made here – with a Christmassy twist. You can make it ahead and freeze it, so it’s also a perfect way to prepare dinner for a friend or family member who will be on their own. There’s no better way to say ‘merry Christmas’ than cooking for a loved one.
