Chicken Hotpot (Dad’s Delicious Leftover Surprise)
Chicken Hotpot. We had a little of our Sunday roast leftover from yesterday (yes, I know it was Monday, but that’s how we roll around here)!
So after a little rummage around the kitchen, all I needed to buy was an onion.
So, for 11p I made a delicious home-cooked meal for everyone, with the boys going back for a second helping too (my lunch tomorrow)!
Super cheap and home-cooked fresh food. Happy days. Plus it was quick and easy as well!

Ingredients
Chicken Hotpot
- Left over chicken, cut into strips (about 1/4 of a large roast chicken)
- 4 Leftover roast potatoes
- Leftover stuffing, chopped
- 2 Carrots, chopped
- 3 Potatoes
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 1 Handful frozen peas
- 1 handful frozen sweetcorn
- 50 g Unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing and brushing
- 50 g Plain flour
- Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 500 g Chicken Stock (from cube)
Instructions
Chicken Hotpot
- I promised quick, cheap and easy, so here goes.......Chuck the onion and carrots into the melted butter to soften them for a few minutes, then stir in the flour. This will, join up with the butter and form what's called a roux, cook this through for a couple of minutes (whilst stirring). Then take off the heat.
- Slowly pour the stock in bit by bit and continually stir. This will turn it into a nice thick sauce. Next, chuck the chicken, leftover potatoes, peas, sweetcorn, leftover stuffing, a grater of nutmeg and the dijon mustard, together with a bit of salt and pepper. Give it a good mix and put it back on the heat and warm through whilst stirring for a few minutes or so.
- Finally, pour the mixture into a greased oven dish and place the sliced potatoes over the top, overlapping them slightly, brush over some melted butter and chuck the lot into a preheated (180) oven for 35 minutes. The potatoes will start turning a golden brown colour.Job done!
- Not only was this cheap, it really was easy and all of the kids loved it! Give it a go and let me know how you get on......
