Ingredients
  

  • 600 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs diced into 2cm pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks celery sliced
  • 1 large leek trimmed and sliced
  • 200 g mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 500 ml chicken stock
  • 50 ml double cream optional, for richness
  • 100 g frozen peas
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 700 g floury potatoes e.g., Maris Piper, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 30 g butter melted
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • gordon ramsay food casserole dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). Heat the olive oil in a large gordon ramsay food casserole dish or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  3. To the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, celery, leeks, and mushrooms. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened.
  4. Stir in the plain flour and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it coats the vegetables. Gradually pour in the chicken stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Return the chicken to the pot. Stir in the double cream (if using), frozen peas, chopped fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes over the chicken and vegetable mixture in an overlapping pattern. Brush the potatoes with melted butter and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Transfer the gordon ramsay food casserole dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potato topping is golden brown and crispy, and the filling is bubbling hot.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your comforting hot pot!

Notes

For an extra layer of flavour and crispiness, you can par-boil your potato slices for 5 minutes before arranging them on top. This ensures they cook through quickly and get super crispy in the oven!
