Quick Creamy Chicken & Veggies
with Mashed Potato
- Milk
Something magical happens when you combine this decadent creamy sauce with diced chicken and veggies, then pile it on a chive mash potato. It all comes together so beautifully, you'll be wanting to lick the plate clean! *Unfortunately, this week's baby broccoli was in short supply, so we've replaced it with courgette. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!*

Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large 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 potato to the pan. Add the butter and milk, then season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled! Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!
• Meanwhile, slice courgette into half-moons. Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Thinly slice leek. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook chicken and courgette, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add leek and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Reduce heat to low, then add cream (see ingredients), garlic & herb seasoning and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Add baby spinach and stir until wilted, 1 minute. Season to taste.
• Divide mash between bowls. • Top with creamy chicken and veggies to serve. Enjoy!
