CHICKY MINCE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 100ml of boiling water. Place a deep pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion, the chopped carrot, and the chopped celery. Fry for 5-7 minutes until softened, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and the tomato paste and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the chicken mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to caramelise for 3-4 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Pour in the cooked chopped tomato and the diluted stock and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes until reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.
LITTLE POTS
While the mince is reducing, place a pot of cold salted water over a high heat. Add the quartered baby potatoes and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes until soft. Drain on completion and season.
BAKE THE BAKE
Spread out the softened baby potatoes in a baking dish. Pour over the saucy chicken mince, making sure it’s covering all the potatoes. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
TUCK IN!
