Cooking Steps

1
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add the butter and milk to the potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth.

TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled. Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!

• Meanwhile, preheat grill to high. • Grate the carrot. Finely chop celery and garlic. Drain the sweetcorn. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.

Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, add chicken and diced bacon, season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-high, then add carrot and celery and cook, stirring, until softened, 6-7 minutes.

TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.
