Method

Your notes

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 220C / 200c fan.

2

Heat half of the olive oil in a large oven-proof frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute, until fragrant.

3

Add the chicken pieces. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until lightly browned on the outside and cooked through.

4

Add the artichoke hearts, baby spinach, and peas and cook until the spinach wilts.

5

Sprinkle over the flour and nutritional yeast. Stir to incorporate.

6

Pour over the milk and stir to combine. Keep stirring over the heat for 4-5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and is as lump-free as possible. Add the mustard and adjust seasoning to taste.

7

Place the panko and remaining oil into a small bowl and toss to coat. (It might help to use your hands to massage the oil into the crumbs).

8

Sprinkle this over the contents of the pan. Place into the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.

Delicious and easy to make.

Sonia 4 weeks ago

This was fine. It amazing but still good. We will definitely make it again, but will add garlic powder and perhaps onion powder for more spice.

I added a tin of butter beans to make it go further and increase fibre.

The taste of this recipe was AMAZING! Felt like we were eating a chicken pie - however we really struggled to find artichoke in the shop besides the one in oil. Then when we used fresh was quite hard to prepare - could you offer a substitute? Thatโ€™s the only reason itโ€™s not 10/10!!!

More breadcrumbs on the top?

Isabel 4 months ago

We both really enjoyed. Easy to make. Initially the meat quality look small but warked so well.

Husband suggested wholegrain mustard to try instead of dijon.

Tasty, quick meal - particularly liked the artichokes for a different taste & texture. Note recipe/method doesnโ€™t actually say to cut up the chicken - just worked it out from the pictures ๐Ÿ™‚
