Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water and a good pinch of salt. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. Cut cauliflower into small florets. Cook potato and cauliflower in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. • Drain and return veggies to the pan. Add the butter and a good pinch of salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice leek.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken and leek with a pinch of salt, tossing occasionally, until browned, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to low, then add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add bechamel sauce, chicken-style stock powder and the water. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from the heat, then add baby spinach leaves, stirring until wilted. Season to taste.
• Divide cauli-potato mash between bowls. • Top with creamy chicken and leek casserole. • Garnish with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The creamy chicken and leek filling is well-loved, and the chilli flakes are a popular finishing touch that lifts the whole dish; some reviewers found the overall flavour a little salty, so go easy on added salt at each step.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together on a weeknight, with the cauli-potato mash being a clever way to sneak in extra vegetables without the kids noticing.
- Suggestions: Use a higher ratio of potato to cauliflower if you prefer a smoother, creamier mash — several reviewers found too much cauliflower made it grainy and harder to blend smoothly.
- Next-day meals: At least one reviewer noted the dish tasted just as good cold the next day, making it a solid lunch option.
- Portions: A few reviewers felt one potato was not quite enough for two people and added an extra to make the mash go further.
