This Is The Recipe For My Number 1 Comfort Food

Chicken Broccoli Bake Recipe.

We might have officially farewelled Winter and welcomed Spring here in the southern hemisphere, but it’s still pretty cold and gloomy outside. And because I’m still cooking winter food, I thought I’d share my favourite comfort food recipe on the blog today. Because who doesn’t love an easy and delicious recipe to make on a weeknight? I know I welcome all the inspiration I can get! And actually, this meal works just as well in Summer or Autumn, so give it a go wherever you live!
