1 packet

1 packet
chicken breast
1 packet

30 g

2 tbs

½ cup
water
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add the plant-based butter and the plantbased milk to potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
• Meanwhile, preheat grill to high. • Slice carrot into thin half-moons. • Thinly slice celery and leek. • Thinly slice spring onion. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Add chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, leek and celery, until just tender, 3-4 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Add tomato paste, garlic paste and Nan's special seasoning and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in the water and vegetable stock powder, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Stir through cooked chicken. Season to taste.
• Transfer filling to a baking dish and evenly spread mash potato over the top with a drizzle of olive oil. • Grill until lightly golden, 8-10 minutes.
TIP: Drizzling with olive oil helps the topping to crisp and brown!
• Divide chicken and veggie pie between plates. • Top with spring onion to serve. Enjoy!
