Ingredients and method

Ingredients

  • 560g Chicken breast
  • 4 potatoes Potatoes
  • 300ml Milk
  • 150g Shredded tasty cheese
  • 1 onion Brown onion
  • 140g Frozen peas

Method

  1. Prep the ingredients Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan-forced). Set out chicken breast, potato, milk, cheese, onion and peas. Wash, trim, and chop potato and onion before heating the pan. Measure milk and cheese. Cut the chicken breast into 2-3 cm pieces.
  2. Start the pan Heat a deep oven-safe pan or pot over medium heat and add two tablespoons of water, then cook the chicken pieces for 6-8 minutes, turning, until cooked through with no pink in the centre (75C on a food thermometer).
  3. Add vegetables Add onion and peas and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the base Stir in potato and milk. Add 1/2 cup water to keep the mixture moist.
  5. Cook through Bring to a simmer, cover tightly with a lid or foil and bake for 29-39 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the mixture is hot.
  6. Finish Remove the lid or foil, scatter over cheese and let it melt. Rest for 5 minutes so the texture settles.
  7. Serve Spoon into bowls while warm, keeping the creamy potatoes and filling together.
