2
potato
1
brown onion
1
carrot
1 stalk
celery
3 clove
garlic
1 bag
parsley
1 packet
chicken thigh
1 packet
diced bacon
(May be present: Soy, Milk. )
1 sachet
garlic & herb seasoning
1 packet
light cooking cream
(Contains Milk;)
1 packet
grated Parmesan cheese
(Contains Milk;)
1
olive oil
40 g
butter
2 tbs
milk
(Contains Milk;)
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel the potato, then cut into large chunks. Thinly slice the brown onion. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Finely chop the celery. Finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the parsley. Cut the chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
Cook the potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan. Add the butter, milk and a pinch of salt. Mash until smooth.
While the potato is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the chicken and diced bacon, breaking the bacon up with a spoon and stirring occasionally, until browned, 4-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high, then add the onion, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring, until softened, 6 minutes. Add the garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the light cooking cream. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir through 1/2 the parsley.
Preheat the grill to high. Transfer the filling to a baking dish. Top with the mash, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese. Grill until browned, 5-10 minutes.
TIP: The grill cooks fast, so keep an eye on the pie!
Divide the chicken and bacon pie with mashed potato topping between plates. Garnish with the remaining parsley to serve.
