Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Cut potato into large chunks (peel if you prefer!). Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). Trim green beans. Thinly slice carrot into sticks. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. • In last 8 minutes of cook time, place a colander or steamer basket on top and add carrots and green beans. Cover and steam until tender, and potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, 7-8 minutes. Transfer veggies to a bowl. Season, then set aside. Drain potatoes and return to saucepan.
• Meanwhile, cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In large frying pan, heat drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook chicken, Nan’s special seasoning and onion, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Reduce the heat to medium, then add cream (see ingredients) and cook until thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, then season to taste and set aside.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Add the butter, milk and chicken-style stock powder to the potato. Mash until smooth.
• Divide potato mash and steamed veggies between plates. Top with seared chicken and creamy onion sauce to serve. Enjoy!
