Kind of like a creamy chicken, carrot and spinach casserole, topped with potato gratin! Chris is an early riser, like 5am most days, and i have been trying to get up a bit earlier too. In an ideal world, I’d go to bed at 10pm, be asleep by 11pm and get up at 6am. Why is 6am so hard?? Has anyone got any tips? Is anyone else out there a night owl who’s been able to swap it round and get out of bed as soon as the alarm goes off? I’m a snooze button addict (minimum 10 x snooze. I know it’s bad, but that’s how much I hate getting out of bed). Anyway let’s get on with the recipe. This one uses cooked chicken - so you could use leftover chicken or a rottiserie chicken.
Worried that buying a mandolin for this recipe might not be worth it? They come in really handy we have quite a few other recipes that use a mandolin; Lancashire Hotpot, Easy Ratatouille, Shoestring Fries or homemade Coleslaw.
All of the filling gets cooked in one pan, before being transferred to a baking dish, and topped with lots of potato slices.
ONE PAN TIP You can also miss out the step of transferring to a baking dish if the frying pan you used for the filling is oven-proof. That’s totally what I would have done if I wasn’t photographing this one. If you like your creamy chicken dinners, try my Chicken and Mushroom Pie, Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Casserole (I think that would work great as an alternative base for this potato-topped recipe too), Creamy Chicken & Tortellini Soup, Tuscan Chicken or my favourite Creamy Chicken Puff Pie.
