Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Boil the potatoes for 5-8 mins until nearly tender: you should be able to pierce them with a fork, but they should still be firm. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, wide, flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 5 mins, then add the garlic, mushrooms and carrots. Fry for a further 5 mins, then add the chicken; cook for 1 min. Stir in the flour, then pour in the stock and mustard. Bring to a simmer over a medium heat and bubble for 5 mins or until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.
- Layer the sliced potatoes on top of the sauce; drizzle with the remaining 2 tsp oil. Bake for 30-35 mins until golden and bubbling. Leave to sit for 5 mins before serving with green beans, if you like.
