Ingredients

  • 1pcs potato
  • 1pcs small sweet potato
  • 1pcs onion
  • 1pcs carrot
  • 1clove garlic
  • 1pcs chicken-style stock cubes
  • 300g free-range chicken breast fillet
  • 150g peas
  • 50g shredded cheese mix
  • 250ml (1 cup) boiling water
  • 5ml dijon mustard
  • 10ml olive oil
  • 20g butter
  • 15ml plain flour

Method

  1. Step 1 — Boil potato
    Peel the potato and sweet potato and cut into chunks. Put in a medium saucepan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10-12 mins until tender. Drain, return to the pan and cover to keep warm. Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil for the peas.
  2. Step 2 — Prep ingredients
    While the potato is cooking, finely chop the onion and carrot. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Crumble 1 stock cube* into a heatproof jug, add 250ml (1 cup) boiling water and 1 tsp dijon mustard and stir to dissolve. Cut the chicken into 2cm chunks.
  3. Step 3 — Cook vegetables
    Heat 2 tsp olive oil and 20g butter in a medium deep frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, carrot and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 mins until softened. Add the peas to the pan of boiling water and cook for 2 mins or until tender. Drain.
  4. Step 4 — Cook chicken
    Scatter 1 tbs flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until foaming. Gradually add the stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps forming, and bring to the boil. Add the chicken, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, at a very gentle simmer, for 3 mins or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened. Remove the pan from the heat.
  5. Step 5 — Mash potato
    Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high. Mash the potato until smooth, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  6. Step 6 — Grill pie
    Stir the peas into the chicken mixture, then transfer to a 1L (4 cup) baking dish. Spoon the mashed potato over the chicken mixture and scatter with the cheese. Grill for 5 mins or until melted and golden. Serve the pie at the table.
