When the temperature plummets, we often turn to homey, comforting classics to warm us from the inside out. If this sounds like the perfect cure to all your cold weather woes, look no further. Our recipe developers took the best parts of chicken pot pie and shepherd’s pie and combined them to create the world’s greatest dinner mash-up. Enjoy!
Unfortunately, this week’s mixed salad leaves were in short supply, so we’ve replaced them with cos lettuce. Don’t worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. 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 and mash until smooth.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled!
• Meanwhile, finely chop onion and celery. Grate the carrot. Finely shred cos lettuce (see ingredients). • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken and onion, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. • Add carrot and celery and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning, Nan's special seasoning and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium, then add the water. Stir well to combine and cook until slightly reduced, 2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high. Transfer chicken filling to a baking dish, then spread the mashed potato over the top. Run a fork over mash to create an uneven surface. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese and grill pie until the cheese is melted and golden, 5-10 minutes.
• While the pie is grilling, thinly slice pear (see ingredients). • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, the honey and olive oil. Add cos lettuce and pear and toss to combine. Season to taste.
• Divide chicken shepherd's pie between plates. • Serve with pear salad. Enjoy!
