Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Boil a full kettle of water. Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel if preferred). Pour boiling water into a large saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt. Add potatoes and cook until tender, 15-18 minutes.
- Get Frying: Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Fry until the chicken is golden and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Prep Time: Finely chop the chives. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Sauce Things Up: Once the chicken and mushrooms are cooked, add garlic to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken stock paste and water (see ingredients), then bring to a boil and reduce by half, 2-3 minutes. Stir through the crème fraîche and mustard until everything is piping hot, 2-3 minutes.
- Make the Mash: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return to the pan off the heat. Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if available) along with half the chives. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
- Serve: Spoon the mash into your bowls, then share out the creamy mustard chicken. Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining chives.
Chef’s Tip
For extra creaminess, add a little more crème fraîche to taste before serving.
