Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 14

750g potatoes, peeled and halved
250g broccoli, cut into small florets
100ml strong chicken stock
small bunch tarragon, finely chopped (optional)
1-2 tsp Dijon mustard
100g frozen peas
1 tbsp butter
25g butter
25g plain flour
250ml milk
1 tsp olive oil
2-3 (depending on size) skinless chicken thigh fillets, cut into cubes
1 skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes
⅓ onion, very finely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • For the base, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for a few mins, stirring all the time. Now, using a whisk or spatula, carefully stir in the milk, a little at a time, making sure the sauce stays smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for a couple of mins until it thickens - it will be very thick. Turn the heat right down and keep cooking for 5 mins, stirring often.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry all of the chicken in batches until it starts to colour lightly at the edges. Scoop out each batch of chicken and put it on a plate. Add the onion to the pan if you are using it, and cook over a low heat until soft. Add the chicken and any juices and the onion to the white sauce, fold it in and cook the mixture for a further 15 mins or until the chicken is cooked through. If you're making the base ahead of time, you can leave it to cool at this stage then freeze in an airtight container for up to a month. (Defrost fully before using in the next step.)
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 10 mins, then drain and cool a little before slicing thickly.
  • Meanwhile, cook the broccoli until tender, then drain. Heat the chicken base with the stock in a pan until it is just beginning to bubble, then stir in the tarragon (if using) and the mustard. Fold in the broccoli and peas. Tip the chicken mixture into a dish and arrange the potato slices on top, then dot the butter over. Bake for 30-35 mins or until golden.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the chicken: Otherwise, it will become dry and tough. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality cheese: This will also make a big difference in the flavor of the casserole. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Top the casserole with a crispy topping: This will add texture and flavor to the dish. You could use crushed potato chips, bread crumbs, or even crumbled bacon.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that it is cooked through.
