Meat or Veggie: Creamy Fillets Casserole

I love a good casserole, and this creamy fillets casserole is low fat, high protein and super easy to make. Personally, I don’t eat meat so for this recipe I used Quorn fillets but you can just as easily use chicken breast.

You can serve with sweet potato, butternut squash or any other veg you fancy! Sound like a dish you want to try? Read on to check out the full recipe.
