Cooking Steps
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat. Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Trim the carrot (no need to peel). Chop into 1cm chunks.
- Pick the thyme leaves and discard the stalks.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, add the chicken, onion, mushrooms, thyme and carrot.
- Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Cook until the chicken is browned, 10-12 mins (cook in batches if necessary).
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Add the garlic to the pan and fry for another 30 secs.
- Add 1 tbsp flour (double for 4p) and mix well to incorporate.
- Add stock powder, Worcester sauce and creme fraiche to the pan.
- Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 3-4 mins, until the sauce is thick. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if necessary!
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the contents of the pan to an appropriately-sized oven dish.
- Top with the mashed potato.
- Use the back of a spoon to spread it out. Scatter over the grated cheese.
- Bake on the top shelf of your oven for 10-15 mins.
- Transfer the contents of the pan to an appropriately-sized ovenproof dish.
- Top with the mashed potato. Use the back of a spoon to spread it out.
- Bake on the top shelf of your oven until the mash is golden and chicken is cooked through, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Serve straight from the dish!
