Home Style Chicken Cheesy Garlic Sauce With Creamy Mash Veggies Food

HOME-STYLE CHICKEN & CHEESY GARLIC SAUCE WITH CREAMY MASH & VEGGIES

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Peel the potato and cut into 2cm chunks. Add the potato to the boiling water and cook until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan. Add the butter (for the mash), milk and the salt, then mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
• While the potato is cooking, cut the broccoli into small florets and roughly chop the stalk. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely chop the parsley leaves. In a medium bowl, combine the Aussie spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and season with pepper. Add the chicken breast strips and toss to coat.
• Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the broccoli, carrot and a generous splash of water and cover with a lid or foil. Cook until softened, 5-6 minutes. Remove the lid, then add 1/2 the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add 1/2 the chicken and cook, turning, until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Wipe out the frying pan and return to a medium heat. Add the butter (for the sauce) and the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the longlife cream (see ingredients list), grated Parmesan cheese, parsley and any chicken resting juices. Season with pepper and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until thickened slightly, 2-3 minutes.
• Divide the mashed potato, veggies and homestyle chicken strips between plates. Pour the cheesy garlic sauce over the chicken.

CREAMY GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20-25 mins until tender when pierced with a knife. Meanwhile, heat the 2 tbsp Flora Buttery in a frying pan over a medium heat until melted, then fry the onion for 10 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic, fry for a minute more, then add the chicken and fry for 5 mins until lightly golden.
• Pour in the wine, bring to a simmer and reduce until halved. Stir in 250ml of the crème fraîche. Cook for 5 mins until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Drain the potatoes, leave to steam dry for 1 min, then mash with the 50g Flora Buttery, remaining crème fraîche and some seasoning, until smooth. Stir the herbs and spinach through the chicken and cook for a minute or so until the spinach wilts. Add the lemon juice and some seasoning. Serve spooned over the creamy mash.

PAN-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES IN BALSAMIC-CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Spread chicken thighs on a clean work surface. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 of the Italian seasoning all over them.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and brown for 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.
• Add onions to the same skillet and stir up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions just start to become tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and remaining Italian seasoning. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Add chicken broth and return chicken thighs to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until chicken juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Return chicken to the skillet and increase heat to medium. Add tomatoes and spinach. Cook and stir until tomatoes are heated through and spinach is tender, but still bright green, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and balsamic vinegar; bring to a gentle boil. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. If you prefer a creamier sauce, add more cream. Serve with shaved Parmesan cheese.
