30-Minute Creamy Cheesy Chicken Dinner: A decadent masterpiece ready in no time.
Ingredients:
  • 500g packet Simply Steam baby white potato
  • 60ml (1 ⁄4 cup) olive oil
  • 2 large (about 550g) RSPCA Approved Chicken Breast Fillets, halved lengthways
  • 100g short cut bacon, chopped
  • 200g button mushrooms, halved
  • 1 leek, halved lengthways, thinly sliced
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) white wine or Massel Salt Reduced Chicken Style Liquid Stock
  • 125ml (1 ⁄2 cup) thickened cream
  • 75g (3⁄4 cup) pre-grated mozzarella
  • Chopped fresh continental parsley
Instructions:
  • While the potato is in the microwave, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof frying pan until sizzling. Season the chicken and cook on high heat for 4-5 minutes until browned and nearly done. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add the rest of the oil to the pan with the bacon. Cook for 2 minutes until golden. Then, add the mushroom and leek, and cook for 6 minutes until golden. Transfer everything to a bowl.
  • Pour in the wine and simmer while gently scraping the bottom of the pan for 1 minute. Pour in the cream and chicken juices, then simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Transfer to a serving jug.
  • Cut each potato in half and place in a baking pan. Preheat the oven grill to high. Layer the potatoes with half of the leek mixture and the chicken. Pour the cream mixture over the top and sprinkle with cheese. Top with the rest of the leek mixture. Grill for 3-4 minutes until golden. Serve with a sprinkle of parsley.
