Instructions:
​
The pie filling
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan)
-
Peel potatoes, cut into bite size pieces and put on to boil.
-
Cut chicken breasts into strips, put in oven tray. Add olive oil and put in the oven to bake (about 20mins).
-
Melt 25g butter in frying pan then add chopped onions and carrots.
-
Once onions and carrots begin to soften add half of the chopped garlic and cook for a minute or two. (Keep an eye on the potatoes!) Then add in 1 tbsp flour and stir.
-
Next, stir in 350ml of veg stock, cream cheese and mustard. Simmer until it starts to thicken.
The pie topping
-
Remove chicken from the oven (check it's cooked!). Pull it apart with two forks (so it resembles shredded chicken).
-
Mix pulled chicken into the pie filling.
-
Mash the potatoes.
-
Put the pie filling into an ovenproof dish, top with the mashed potato and put into the oven. (For about 20mins)
-
Whilst the pie is cooking, make the side dish; add the rest of the butter to a pan, along with the remaining chopped garlic.
-
Once the butter has melted add in the sliced greens and sauté until soft.
