I am a big fan of one pots – simple to prepare without loads of washing up either. This is a delicious creamy chicken dish and ideal for using up any cooked leftover vegetables in the fridge. I have kept this dairy free by using a dairy free cream cheese and nutritional yeast flakes for a wonderful creamy texture. Leftovers will also keep well in the fridge for the following day. Serve with just a green salad or cooked rice / quinoa. If you have a COOK EXPERT Magimix this can be easily cooked in the metal bowl – see instructions below.

What’s Good About It?

This dish provides plenty of protein and is ideal for cramming in loads of vegetables too. If you have any cooked leftover vegetables add these at the end of cooking.

 

  1. Place the chicken in a large saucepan and cover with the hot chicken stock. Cover the pan and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  2. Turn off the heat and remove the chicken to a wooden board. Using forks shred the chicken then place back into the pan with stock.
  3. Add the spring onions, sweetcorn, peppers, chickpeas, cream cheese spices and nutritional yeast flakes and stir briefly.
  4. Cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes – stir occasionally.
  5. Mix the cornflour with a little water to make a paste. Add to the pan and cook for a couple of minutes to thicken the sauce.
  6. Garnish with additional spring onions and coriander leaves
