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......
