Method
step 1
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20-25 mins until tender when pierced with a knife. Meanwhile, heat the 2 tbsp butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until melted, then fry the onion for 10 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic, fry for a minute more, then add the chicken and fry for 5 mins until lightly golden.
step 2
Pour in the wine, bring to a simmer and reduce until halved. Stir in 250ml of the crème fraîche. Cook for 5 mins until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
step 3
Drain the potatoes, leave to steam dry for 1 min, then mash with the 50g butter, remaining crème fraîche and some seasoning, until smooth. Stir the herbs and spinach through the chicken and cook for a minute or so until the spinach wilts. Add the lemon juice and some seasoning. Serve spooned over the creamy mash. |

I did ask I thought I’d taken breasts out of the freezer and it was thighs\!

Really tasty dish. I would also recommend cooking the chicken separately first and then adding it. Big hit with the family\!

I think better to cook the chicken through separately and add to the pan later as this method makes it a little chewy.

question
Can this be made a day in advance and reheated?
Reply
##### goodfoodteam

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes it could be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge. Reheat until piping hot. If the sauce is a bit thick when reheating, you can add a splash of chicken stock or water to the sauce if needed. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

## Method
- ### step 1
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20-25 mins until tender when pierced with a knife. Meanwhile, heat the 2 tbsp butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until melted, then fry the onion for 10 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic, fry for a minute more, then add the chicken and fry for 5 mins until lightly golden.
- ### step 2
Pour in the wine, bring to a simmer and reduce until halved. Stir in 250ml of the crème fraîche. Cook for 5 mins until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- ### step 3
Drain the potatoes, leave to steam dry for 1 min, then mash with the 50g butter, remaining crème fraîche and some seasoning, until smooth. Stir the herbs and spinach through the chicken and cook for a minute or so until the spinach wilts. Add the lemon juice and some seasoning. Serve spooned over the creamy mash. |
