Method
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and blanch the cabbage for 1-2 mins until bright in colour, remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander. Add the potatoes to the pan, bring to the boil and cook for 15-18 mins until soft. Drain well and mash. Stir through the cabbage, the milk and the butter and season with salt and black pepper.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onions, leek, garlic and mushrooms together for 8-10 mins until soft and any liquid has evaporated.
- Stir in the frozen chicken, cover with a lid and cook for 6-8 mins until defrosted, stirring regularly. Stir in the soft cheese and reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and black pepper and cook for 1-2 mins, or until the chicken is thoroughly heated through.
- Simmer the peas in a small saucepan for 3 mins until tender. Divide the colcannon between plates and top with the mushroom chicken. Serve with the peas.
