Creamy Chicken Kiev Bake Recipe | Weeknight Meal

A comforting Chicken Kyiv Bake made with a creamy garlic herb sauce and crispy paprika potatoes. Easy, delicious, and perfect for family dinners.

There’s something incredibly satisfying about taking a classic comfort dish and transforming it into an easy, family-friendly bake, and this Chicken Kyiv Bake does exactly that.

I was in a local supermarket and spotted something similar to this in ready meal form. I thought to myself, "I can make something better than that!".

Inspired by the rich garlic butter flavours of traditional Chicken Kyiv, this recipe delivers all the indulgence you love, but in a fuss-free, one-dish format that’s perfect for busy weeknights or cosy weekend dinners.

The heart of this dish is its velvety, flavour-packed sauce. A base of softened onions, sweet peppers, and plenty of fresh garlic builds the foundation, before being enriched with chicken stock and creamy garlic & herb soft cheese.

The result is a silky, savoury sauce that coats every piece of tender chicken. A sprinkle of parsley brings brightness, lifting the richness just enough to keep you going back for more.

But the real showstopper? The crispy paprika potatoes sit on top like the perfect golden crown. By air-frying the thinly sliced potatoes first, they become beautifully crisp and lightly smoky before finishing their journey in the oven.

Once they’re layered onto the creamy chicken mixture, a drizzle of garlic butter and a scattering of crunchy breadcrumbs add even more texture and depth. The bake emerges bubbling, golden, and incredibly inviting.

This dish strikes that perfect balance of homely and indulgent — the kind of meal that feels like comfort food without being complicated.

Hot Honey Pigs in Blankets Mac & Cheese Recipe | Christmas Recipe


If you’ve been around here a while, you’ll know I have a soft spot for anything creamy, comforting and just a little bit indulgent – and my original Hot Honey Mac & Cheese is still one of my all-time most-loved recipes.

This year, though, I wanted to give it a festive twist, something fun and a bit cheeky that brings all the cosy Christmas flavours together in one dish. And honestly? This Hot Honey Pigs in Blankets Mac & Cheese might just be my favourite version yet.

Scroll down for full recipe and instructions!!

I mean, pigs in blankets are already the star of any Christmas plate (I don’t make the rules), so folding them into a smoky, lightly spiced cheese sauce and topping the whole thing with extra crispy, pre-cooked pigs in blankets felt like the natural next step.

Add a drizzle of hot honey for that perfect balance of sweet heat, and you’ve got the kind of dish that makes the whole room go quiet for a second… before someone asks for seconds.

What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to make lighter without losing any of the comfort. Using skimmed milk and reduced-fat cheese still gives you a sauce that’s silky, rich and full of flavour, while smoked paprika and mustard cut through with warmth and depth.

But I did. We did.

Step by step, post by post, recipe by recipe. You stayed. You shared. You hyped me up when I needed it most. You reminded me why I started in the first place.

A creamy, comforting one-pan dish loaded with tender chicken, colourful veg, and rich cheesy orzo. Perfect for a cosy weeknight meal!

There’s something incredibly comforting about a one-pan meal, especially on those busy evenings when you want something delicious but don’t have the time—or energy—for a long list of steps or a pile of washing up. This Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Orzo is exactly that kind of dish: simple, hearty, and full of flavour, yet still quick enough for a weeknight.

It brings together tender smoked-paprika chicken, a colourful mix of vegetables, and a rich, creamy orzo that absorbs every bit of flavour as it cooks. The result is a bowl of pure comfort food that tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did.

One pan chicken and broccoli Orzo recipe

One of the things I love most about this recipe is how adaptable it is. You can pack in whatever vegetables you have in the fridge, swap the cheeses to suit your taste, or adjust the consistency by adding a little more stock or milk to make it as creamy as you like. The finely chopped broccoli melts into the orzo as it cooks, giving you an extra boost of greens without overpowering the dish.

It’s also a great way to sneak in veggies for fussy eaters—everything blends beautifully together.

The combination of parmesan and cheddar gives the orzo that perfect cheesy richness, while the mixed herbs add warmth and depth. Because the orzo cooks directly in the pan with the stock, it becomes incredibly flavourful, almost risotto-like but far quicker to prepare. Paired with the juicy, seasoned chicken, this is a meal that feels complete, filling, and wonderfully satisfying.

Whether you’re cooking for the family, prepping lunches for the week, or simply treating yourself to a cosy homemade dinner, this Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Orzo is one of those recipes you’ll come back to again and again. It’s fuss-free, flavour-packed, and guaranteed to hit the spot every time.

Creamy Chicken, Bacon & Stuffing Pot Pie Recipe

Comforting Chicken, Bacon & Stuffing Pot Pie. A creamy, hearty dish made. Packed with flavour, easy to make, and perfect for weeknights!

There’s something so comforting about a creamy chicken pie, especially when the weather turns chilly and you’re craving something warm, filling and full of flavour. This Chicken, Bacon and Stuffing Pot Pie has all the cosy vibes of a Sunday roast, wrapped up in an easy one-dish dinner that the whole family will love. It’s packed with juicy chicken, crispy bacon and a creamy, herby filling that feels indulgent but is actually really simple to make.

This version skips the butter and flour, so it’s a little lighter than a traditional pie but still tastes just as good. Instead of pastry, I’ve topped it with sage and onion stuffing that goes perfectly with the creamy chicken and bacon underneath. The stuffing goes straight in, soaking up all that delicious sauce. Every bite is pure comfort food magic.

If you have Sunday roast leftovers, then this is a great option to use up some of the veg or stuffing. 

You can also swap the puff pastry topping for mashed potato instead!

The best part is how easy this recipe is to throw together. You only need a handful of simple ingredients that you probably already have at home. It’s perfect for busy evenings when you want something hearty but don’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen.

You can even make it ahead and pop it in the oven when you’re ready to eat, making it a great option for meal prep or Sunday batch cooking.

Serve it on its own, or add some green veg and a spoonful of mash for the ultimate comforting dinner. It’s one of those recipes that feels like a big hug on a plate, whether you’re cooking for yourself or sharing with family.

If you love easy comfort food recipes that don’t compromise on flavour, this Chicken, Bacon and Stuffing Pot Pie will become a firm favourite. It’s creamy, satisfying, and just what you need for those cosy nights in.
