Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. Cut onion into wedges. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
Little cooks: Help toss the veggies.
• Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add the milk and butter (for the mash) to the potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!
• When veggies have 10 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook diced chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, then add garlic & herb seasoning, mushroom powder (see ingredients), tomato paste and butter (for the sauce) and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder and the water and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Add the roasted veggies and baby spinach leaves to the sauce, then stir until wilted.
• Divide potato mash between plates. • Top with creamy mushroom chicken casserole. Enjoy!
