Really enjoyed this meal the other day and 100% know I can make it. Am an okay cook.

Im thinking you sauté garlic, onion and the leeks. Add some cooked chicken pieces (bite size). Combine with a cheese sauce. Sprinkle over some breadcrumbs and put under the grill for a few mins? Chuck on a tiny bit of fresh parsley at the end

Serve with baby potatoes and pile of veg.

How would you do it?

I've no experience of these but surely the clue is in the name - ready meal, i.e. ready to eat, not eat after you've cooked it. That makes it a meal kit.....or am I missing something?

I would do bacon but I’m trying to move away from eating mammals (ethical reasons). I know I’m highly inconsistent in that I had it with the ready meal but it’s a process. I’m trying to stick to chicken and seafood/fish. And then slowly cut those out too

I'd put a bit of white wine and mustard in the cheese sauce.

Why just a tiny bit of parsley? Parsley is great and is worth adding loads in the sauce.

Why would you add cooked chicken pieces instead of just, you know, cooking some diced chicken?

oh I tend to just always have cooked chicken to hand as I have it in salads, wraps etc for lunches

You need to add bacon as well

I would do it the same as you - the ready meal seems to have bacon too so I would saute that with the leeks etc. Hope it tastes as good as it sounds!!
