Chicken & Sweetcorn Pie With Broccoli

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, boil a full kettle and then take your chicken out of fridge, open the packet and let it air

Chop your potatoes (skins on) into large, bite-sized pieces and add the chopped potatoes to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender, then once done, drain and return to the pot to steam dry

Add your chicken breast portion[s] to a tin foil-lined baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper

Put the tray in the oven for 18-20 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)

Meanwhile, add your gravy base to a heatproof measuring jug with a pinch of salt and 150ml [200ml] [250ml] cold water

Put it in the microwave and cook for 30-40 secs or until thickened and give everything a good mix up – this is your gravy stock

Drain your sweetcorn

Peel and finely slice your brown onion[s], then peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and sugar, then reduce the heat to very low and cook for 6-7 min or until the onion has softened and caramelised

Once caramelised, add your garlic and cook for a further 1-2 min

Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a clean board and shred it apart using two forks – this technique is known as 'pulling'

Add your pulled chicken and any remaining juices to the pan with the drained sweetcorn and gravy stock

Give everything a good mix up and remove from the heat – this is your pie filling

Transfer the pie filling to an oven-proof dish

Return the potatoes to a low heat with a knob of butter, a splash of milk and a pinch of salt and mash until smooth

Top the pie filling with the mashed potato

Put the dish in the oven for 15-20 min or until everything is bubbling and the mash is golden – this is your chicken & sweetcorn pie

When the pie is almost cooked, reboil a full kettle

Cut your broccoli into small florets, discard the stem[s] and leaves

Add the broccoli florets to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, cook for 4-5 min or until tender

Once done, drain, return to the pot, add a pinch of salt and keep covered until serving
