Ingredients
Method
- 1kg potatoes
- 1 onion
- 4 tbsp oil, divided
- 400g chicken breast
- 350g Annabel’s Go to Country Herb Sauce
- 1 cup milk, plus a little extra for mash
- 1 can cannellini beans
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup panko crumbs
- 1-2 tbsp butter (optional)
- 1 leek or a few spring onions (optional)
Each meal kit include all the main ingredients, including a unique sauce and an easy-to-follow recipe for a quick, easy, and convenient weeknight dinner solution.
- Preheat oven to 190°C fan bake/ 200°C regular.
- Peel potatoes and chop into 3-4cm pieces. Boil in salted water until tender, drain well and mash finely with a vegetable masher or fork, then add a little milk and optional butter and continue to mash until fluffy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- While potatoes are cooking, peel and finely dice onion. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large pot and cook onion over medium heat until softened without browning, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes.
- Cut chicken into bite-size pieces (2-4cm) and season with salt and pepper. If using pre-diced chicken, you will not need to cut it up. Add to the onions, along with Annabel’s Go to Country Herb Sauce, 1 cup milk, 1 tsp salt and several grinds black pepper. Bring to a simmer and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring now and then.
- Drain and rinse beans and add to chicken and sauce, stir to combine.
- Transfer to a baking dish. Dish can be prepared ahead to this point and chilled until ready to bake. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before baking.
- Combine 1 cup of panko crumbs with remaining 2 tbsp oil in a separate bowl, and sprinkle evenly over the top of the creamy chicken. Bake until bubbling and golden, about 20 minutes, or 25-30
minutes if the dish has been chilled in the fridge. If preparing the dish in advance, don’t boil the potatoes until you are ready to bake the chicken
To Serve:
- Divide the mash between four plates and spoon the gratin to the side. If desired, serve with a side salad. Enjoy!
Optional:
- If using a leek or some spring onions, wash and thinly slice and add to cook with onion at the start.
