SERVES 5-6 people
2 tb flour
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2-2/3 cup parmesan
1/2-2/3 cup mozzarella
1 bag of frozen broccoli, or head of fresh cut into florets and parboiled
10 cups mashed potatoes
4 green onions, or a few chives chopped
salt and pepper, a dash of garlic powder, onion powder
1 1/3 cups mozzarella, shredded or sliced
1 tsp dried chopped Parsley
Directions
Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Add your chicken breasts and fry off for a couple of mins until golden, crisp and tender. Remove from the pan.
Add half your butter to the pan. When melted, add your onion and fry for 5-10 mins until soft and starting to caramelise. Add your garlic and cook out for 2 min.
Tip the rest of your butter into the pan and, once melted, add your flour. Cook out for 2 mins, then gradually pour in your milk in small increments, whisking all the while until you have a smooth sauce.
Once all the milk has been added, bring to a boil then simmer for 2 mins until thickened. Add your cheddar, mozzarella, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stir until your cheese melts.
Pop your chicken back in the pan along with your broccoli and stir until everything is coated.
Mash your cooked potatoes either in a potato ricer or with a potato masher. Stir through green onion, or chives, cheddar and salt until totally combined. Stir in 1-2 cups of fried onions and parsley. Take a handful and roll into a tennis ball size, then repeat with your remaining potatoes.
Pour your chicken and broccoli mixture into a lightly pam sprayed baking dish and top with your potato balls. Lay your mozzarella slices or sprinkle more cheese over the top, then take to the oven to bake for 25 mins.
Sprinkle with chives, then serve!
