Ingredients

225g potatoes, peeled and diced
225g carrots, peeled and diced
20g unsalted butter
2 small leeks, trimmed and roughly chopped
185g cooked chicken meat, cubed (or 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 2 cm/¾ in cubes)
3 mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 tbsp plain flour
200ml whole milk
50g grated Cheddar cheese
25g tinned drained sweetcorn

Method

Put the potatoes and carrots in a saucepan of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 10–12 minutes until soft. Drain, then mash until smooth.
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the leeks and sauté for 5 minutes, until just soft, then add the chicken and fry for 2 minutes. Next, add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle over the plain flour, stir for 1 minute, then gradually stir in the milk and bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked. While it’s simmering, preheat the grill.
Add three-quarters of the grated cheese to the sauce and add the sweetcorn. Divide the mixture between 4 ramekins.
Spoon the potato and carrot mash on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Place under the grill for 4–5 minutes, until lightly golden on top and bubbling.
