Roast chicken dinner for one
by Justine Pattison

A hearty roast chicken dinner for one with a simple gravy and lots of veg. Batch cooking a pack of chicken thighs is the most cost effective way to make this recipe and the leftover chicken can be used later in the week

This recipe is part of a Budget meal plan for one. In October 2023 this recipe was costed at an average of £1.72 when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. This recipe is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.
