Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Cut potato into bite-sized chunks (peel if you prefer!). Slice leek. Cut lemon into wedges. • Add boiling water and potato to a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook potato until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. • In last 6-8 minutes of cook time, place a colander or steaming basket over saucepan, then add baby broccoli. Cover with a lid and steam until tender. • Transfer baby broccoli to serving plates and season with salt and pepper. • When potato is done, drain and return to saucepan.
• While veggies are cooking, cut chicken breast into 2cm-thick strips. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, Nan’s special seasoning and leek, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add longlife cream (see ingredients) and cook until thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, season to taste and set aside.
• Add butter, milk and chicken-style stock powder to saucepan with potato. Mash until smooth.
• Divide mash between plates of baby broccoli. Top with chicken and creamy leek sauce. • Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
