Ingredients

  • 400 grams Potato
  • 400 grams Sweet potato
  • 1 Brown onion
  • 2 Carrot
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 50 grams Cheese grated
  • 500 grams Chicken breast skinless, boneless
  • 2 tbsps Olive oil
  • 1 cup Peas
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 250 mls Chicken stock
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 60 mls Milk

Instructions

PREP & COOK POTATO & SWEET POTATO

  1. Bring a steamer pot of water to a boil. Peel the potato and kumara and cut into chunks. Put the potato and kumara in the steamer pot of boiling water and cook for 10-12 mins, until tender. Transfer potato and kumara to a large bowl and cover to keep warm, reserve the steamer pot with hot water.

PREP INGREDIENTS

  1. While the potato is cooking, peel and finely dice the onion and carrot. Peel and mince the garlic. Coarsely grate the cheese. Dice the chicken into 2cm chunks.

COOK VEGGIES

  1. Heat the oil 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 reserved steamer pot of boiling water and cook for 2 mins, or until tender. Drain.

COOK CHICKEN

  1. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 2 mins, or until foaming. Gradually add the stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming, and bring to a boil. Add the chicken and Dijon mustard, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, at a very gentle simmer, for 5 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir the peas into the chicken mixture.

FINISH & GRILL PIE

  1. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high. Mash the potato with milk until smooth, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Then transfer the chicken mixture to a baking dish. Spoon the mash over the chicken mixture and sprinkle with the cheese. Grill for 5 mins, or until melted and golden.

TO SERVE

  1. Serve the hearty chicken & veggie pie with cheesy potato top at the table or divide between plates.
