Cooking Steps
ā¢ Boil the kettle. ā¢ Peel potato and cut into large chunks. ā¢ Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiled water. Cook potato in the boiling water over high heat until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. ā¢ Drain potato, then return to pan. Add the butter and the milk. Mash until smooth.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled! Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!
ā¢ Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken and soffritto mix, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. ā¢ Add Aussie spice blend and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. ā¢ Reduce heat to medium, then stir though the water and vegetable stock pot. Cook until slightly reduced, 2 minutes. Season with pepper.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
ā¢ Preheat grill to medium-high. ā¢ Transfer chicken filling to a baking dish. Spread the mash over the top, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. ā¢ Grill until cheese is melted and golden, 5-10 minutes.
TIP: Grills cook fast, so keep an eye on the pie! Little cooks: Under adult supervision, help spread the mash over the filling. You can also sprinkle the cheese on top!
ā¢ Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes. ā¢ In a medium bowl, combine the honey with a drizzle of the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season, then add deluxe salad mix and tomatoes. ā¢ Toss to combine.
ā¢ Divide Nan's chicken potato-topped pie between plates. ā¢ Serve with garden salad. Enjoy!
