The idea behind 2 Way Dinners is that it saves you time (yay!) and money (double yay!!) by allowing you to take advantage of supermarket specials or buying in bulk - but without giving up variety. You just need to plan a bit ahead - which is what I've done with these kind of recipes...I've done all the planning for you! (After all - that's what I'm here for!)
[spacer height="20px"]This recipe is a rustic style hot pot of chicken and veg with a "creamy" mustard sauce - but with NO CREAM! It's all made in one pot so there's not much to wash up...and my husband Peter said, and I quote "it tastes better than it looks"... gee thanks!
[spacer height="20px"]I will admit that it's not the prettiest plate of food I've ever served him, but it tasted GREAT and I think it looks good!
The 2 Way Dinner for this recipe is Chicken, Bacon & Potato Pots - little pots of chickenie baconie (aren't they words in your house?!) goodness, flavoured with thyme and topped with scalloped potato with a dash of cream this time. Wow. We couldn't eat these fast enough!
Enjoy,
