Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Before you begin...
This recipe takes around 5-10min to prep, so get your casserole dish and all your ingredients ready, then wash your fruit and veg
Note: Make sure your dish is oven-proof and safe to use on the hob. Don't have one? Start cooking in a large, wide-based pan then transfer to an oven-proof dish and cover tightly with foil
Now, let's get started!
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Heat a large, wide-based hob-safe oven-proof casserole dish with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add your diced chicken breast to the dish with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] flour and your dried thyme and cook for 2 min or until very lightly browned
Boil half a kettle
Chop your sweet potato[es] (skin on) into large, bite-sized pieces
Once the chicken has browned, add the chopped sweet potato, chicken stock mix, 200ml [260ml] [350ml] boiled water and a very generous pinch of salt and pepper
Bring to the boil over a high heat
Cover with a lid and put the dish in the oven for 25-30 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) and the sweet potato is tender
Once everything's been in the oven for 12 min, dust your work surface with a sprinkling of flour
Roll out your puff pastry to approx. 0.5cm thickness with a rolling pin and add to a baking paper-lined baking tray
Tip: Cooking for 4 or more? Use 2 trays!
Score a cross in the middle of the pastry and put it in the oven for 15 min or until puffed up, golden and cooked through – this is your pie lid
Use this time to clear up, set the table, have a cup of tea or simply chill!
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the dish from the oven and stir through your crème fraîche, blanched peas and Dijon mustard
Top with the pie lid – this is your creamy chicken & sweet potato pie
Serve the creamy chicken & sweet potato pie
