Steps
-
Cook potatoes Preheat oven to high grill. Peel potatoes, dice 2cm and cook in a pot of salted water for about 25 minutes, until tender. Drain and return to pot with butter, mustard, 1/2 tsp salt and milk. Mash until smooth and season to taste with pepper.
-
Cook chicken Slice leek in half lengthways and thinly slice. Pat chicken dry, dice 2cm and season. Heat a drizzle of oil in an oven-proof fry-pan on high heat. Cook chicken for about 8 minutes, turning to ensure even cooking, or until just cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
-
Cook pie filling Return pan to medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, butter, leek and garlic to pan and cook for about 4 minutes, until softened. Return chicken to pan, along with any resting juices, chicken pie spices, 1 tsp salt, water and mustard. Scrape bottom of pan to release any brownings, and cook for about 1 minute, until thickened slightly.
-
Finish pie Remove from heat and fold through sour cream and spinach. Season to taste. Top pie filling with mash and evenly spread out. Grill for 4-5 minutes, until golden and slightly crispy.
-
Cook broccoli Bring a full kettle to the boil. Cut broccoli into small florets. Place broccoli in a heat-proof bowl. Pour over boiling water, cover and steam for about 5 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and return to bowl with a drizzle of oil.
-
Serve chicken and leek pie with broccoli on the side.
