This creamy, cheesy mashed potato and chicken casserole is a tasty side dish, although you’ll be tempted to eat it straight from the oven with a spoon while nobody is watching!
Ingredients
- 1.2kg brushed potatoes, peeled
- 50g butter
- 300ml sour cream
- 2 shallots, sliced
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups grated tasty cheese
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella
Method
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 180C.
-
Step 2Cut potatoes into even pieces and boil in salted water for approximately 10 minutes until a knife can be easily inserted. Drain and return to saucepan. Mash well, then stir through butter, sour cream, shallots, chicken and 1 cup cheese. Season well with salt and pepper. Transfer to an oven-proof dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle over remaining tasty cheese and mozzarella. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
Recipe Notes
Allow a little longer in the oven if the potatoes have gone cold after mashing. You may need to cover it with foil.
I sliced up a whole poached chicken breast, but you could use leftover roast or BBQ chook.
This would be EVEN better with some crispy diced bacon stirred through.
